Permalink 02:40:02 pm, by Francois PLANQUE Email , Categories: Superior wisdom, Software engineering, Productivity

Guy 1: I am so efficient I can fold 100 parachutes in a hour.

Guy 2: I am so effective I can fold 100 parachutes and every single one of them will open right.

This is my *non technical* weblog about the IT world and its trends... Internet, mobility, business, marketing, web, accessibility...
