Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.

Giving more than 100% of yourself, is mathematically impossible – and much more beyond what is humanly possible.

I personally never give 100%, but what does that mean.
It means that there are many areas of life that need my attention and my skill and efforts are paid towards balancing them out as best I can.

You don’t succeed by putting everything you have in to one sole objective – you succeed by putting in the most you should into each of your endeavours – no more, no less. Your primary skill is, knowing what to invest; when and where to invest it.

You can’t give 110% of your time to something, unless your days are 10% longer than everyone else’s – do you really think there are 26.4 hours in a day?

Every so often you read a cool story on a blog – here’s one.

It’s basically about a company called Zappos – and American internet shoe retailer. So engrossed are they, with the idea of blowing the customer away, that they go nuts for daft ideas. They’re not just about meeting expectations, but delivering well beyond them – they pay new employees to leave.

I downloaded AVG 8.0 about a week ago. It’s great, easy to use and very quick.

I spotted however, that the new Link Checker that works while you search with sites like Google, Yahoo and MSN – doesn’t seem to do what I’d like it to do.

I’ve looked at the HTTP requests going to and from Google when I search, and it looks like AVG are checking nearly every single link on the search page. “Great” you might think, “fantastic, I can feel safer while surfing”.

From looking at the HTTP requests, it seems that each link is being followed (included sponsored links) with no change in use-agent requests, or the like. This means that it appears to be throwing artificial
clicks every which way.

Does anyone know more about this?

Am I worrying over nothing?

Or goes AVG, Google, Yahoo and MSN all handle data a little differently for these requests?
I’ve disabled the Link Checker for now – but that doesn’t stop the millions of other web users out there with AVG installed – from taking away AdWords credits and fudging my stats.

Anyone?

Well now, I’ve just recieved my first spam comment - isn’t that just wonderful?

Oh what a lovely measure of existance, joy!
