seminar

tomorrow will be my first ever seminar talk. weird feeling. i prepared about 12 pages as paper and condensed it to about 20 slides to be held in 30 min. about the rest i have no clue, i even couldn't decide on how to start my presentation. at least i'm not the first so i can see how things are done. but then, the location will be very nice and after my talk i can enjoy this place for 2 more days ;)

it's in the system

there is an interesting point in systems theory: don't blame a person for behaving in a certain way - check the system first to see if they could act differently.
i quite like this approach; it kinda discourages blatantly judging someone without ever (mentally) walking in their shoes.

also putting this approach into practice could be interesting: if, for example, some people on your team behave not as expected it's not necessarily just them being terrible. maybe the team's structure doesn't leave them a choice to be different. only drawback: you might have to accept some responsibility and change yourself.

chrome

i really like this browser; however in the last few days it keeps getting stuck on random pages.. anyone knows anything?
