Networking

Creating a network is easy.
In most cases, you always start with one. As a child you live with your parents with whom you share unconditionnal love. One day, they want to find a baby sitter around, because they lack that kind of privacy they used to have before you were born. Your parents ask their friends and colleagues and finally, on the D-Day, they finally make it to that restaurant your mother wanted to go to, because girls from the book club said it was great.
Meanwhile you watch TV at home, while a teenager lying effortlessly on the couch has her boyfriend on the phone. She is actually one of your father's colleagues'daughter.
Networking is that simple, or complicated, you choose.

Spot on !
I knew they had satellites following me everywhere.
Things to remember:
making the user feel guilty is the best way to make him active.
I guess I should make some random friends on www.facebook.com or www.couchsurfing.com

Life is an algorithm

Neural network reproduces what it has learned. If anything resembles something it has learned, the response will be similar ( thank you continuous functions).
I remember I made a neural network to read my handwriting, then any handwriting. It worked really well. No wonder they use it in the postal services... achieving a better result than human eye.
From that outstanding result, I tried to apply it everywhere. After all, isn't our a brain a neural network ?
As I was involved in the Euromanager contest, where the game was to manage a virtual firm, I noticed that all the finalists, the year I participated, were engineering students ( at the beginning it was half engineering students, half business students). Everyone was using computer power in order to break the code... We tried to use neural network from an extensive data history in order to optimize the algorithm. We used the balance sheet, the cash flow table, the profit and loss as inputs, taking into account history. I later tried it on real cases.
Needless to say, I had very poor results, even if we arrived 4 out of 132, won bottles of champaigs and some very nice presents. It also gave me Banking job opportunities.
I now believe that neural networks, optimization algorithms, are a statement of failure.
It is refusing to understand the principle, the underlying function, and going the shortest way to the answer.
Unfortunately, the shortest way sometimes leads nowhere. Functions might not be C°, or anything.
Why is our brain different ?
I don't know. And if I knew I'd be a Nobel prize and use my million to buy some fancy ties. (I can't even afford an Airbus or a Boeing at this price).

Online collaborative tools !

Now. Everything is collaborative.
How do wikipedia convince people to help them update their entries ?
Why would such a system thrive in an environment where a groupuscule of people could be so harmful ? Wikiscan will bring some ethics, and I think that therefore businesses will have their modifications done by someone else instead of doing it themselves.
I started a private Wiki on zoho.com.
Now I'm perfectly convinced that online collaborative tools should become the norm.
As often said, alone, we are weak like straws, together we are strong like a mighty faggot.

Not a millionaire. Yet.

Up to now, my genius plan to become a millionaire is not working yet.
My blog is not peaking to 10,000 visitors a day.
My adsense is not so revenue generating.
I did not get any comments yet.
I do not really understand why.
I think what this blog needs is porn. I should change the title to "Widest free sex gallery ever online", and include some adult content.
I should find a niche market, and make easy money, scavenging content from other websites. I believe creating that kind of content in-house is pretty time consuming. If you have any idea about the kind of profitability that kinf of website has, I am pretty much interested.
My latest IPO subscription to Dreamnex (Biggest french pornsites owner ) (www.dreamnex.com) brought me an easy 35%.

Why ?

Already at the second post, I am wondering why I should publish anything.
If my ideas are so great, what is the point of sharing them ?
Getting known ?
Being nosy ?
I think I know.

I did it!

Yes,

I started my own blog.
It is a bit shallow right now.
But hopefully, I will try to add some content as time goes by.
Anyway, this is just a start, and I know it is just a teaspoon of water in the sea.
But we'll make it bigger.
