Having Fun Together
On last Saturday (26th of May 2007) I was invited by Denisa to a barbecue, together with the youths from her church. Actually most of them were her relatives. I woke up earlier than I usually do. Ups… this shouldn’t be said 
. After the quick shower and a copious breakfast, I went to take the buss. I met there with Denisa and her cousin Andreea.
The barbecue was to take place at Releu. It is a plateau above Iasi city. Releu is the Romanian word for big telecommunication tower. You can see the whole city and around it. I would like to go there during the night, to see the lighted city. I was told that it’s a great view during the night. I ask myself how the sunset and the sunrise. One day I should check them out.
Abundant Blessings
I know somebody that is rich in goodness, that is kindest person I ever meet and has given me great abundant blessings. He has such a soft voice and such a powerful hand. The best advices come from Him, because is more than a doctorate in the human soul. He understands my needs, my desires. And in the same time, He gives me what I need, not what my desires. I am much happier like this because most of the times I really don’t know what is the best for me, I don’t know myself good enough and I don’t know my future, what is ahead.

Joomla! the Open Source Master?
Last night I started to learn Joomla! I must admit that I didn’t know anything about Open Source Content Management Systems.
In the first place, I did some research to see it it is worth learning Joomla! I found out that Joomla! is a really good CMS. It has a lot of free modules, plug-ins and so on. Later I stumbled on the fact that most of them, have a free entry version, and the really good cookies are for money. So no more Open Source anymore.
I am just a beginner, so it will take some time until I’ll show you what I come up with. Hopefully it will not be too long.

More is Less
What I mean with the title is that giving more choices to the customers, you actually get less profit. This happens because
- the customers freezes when sees so many choices and does not know what to buy. This means a waste of time, when he/she could have bought and come again to buy some more.
- when the customer finally decides about his choice, he/she ends up less satisfied with the choice made, than there would be less options to chose from, because:
- it the result of the choice is not perfect, then it is easy to imagine how it would have been if you choose better. So, you regret the decision you made and this subtracts from the satisfaction you had making the decision you did. The more options there are, the easier to regret your option is.
- the value of something depends on what you compare that thing to
- when you choose to do a thing you choose not to do others
- with all the options available, the expectation raise
- everything was better back when everything was worse because back then you could have had pleasant surprises
- raise of the clinical depression because people have fell bad because bad choices they made when there was so much to chose from.
The secret to happiness is low expectations. What enables all of this choice is the material affluence. So, Barry recommends to give our extra choice to the others that have no choice.
So, More is less!
