La Grave - Le Big LePowSki Feb 2010

Skiing at La Grave during the Big LePowSki 20 Feb 2010. Black Diamond Pro-skier Ptor Spricenieks and Cyril the mountain guide took me down a 2400m descent called "La Chirouze Droite"! This was the morning after a 50cm dump of fresh powder. Fantastique! Thank you for the honor!

Web Applications, anyone?

Well, after a ton of reading, and thanks to the Google App-Engine,I've finally made my first tiny web-app!

It's a demo for the visualization of airport performance which provides a multi-variate view for the imaginary performance of an airport over a 28 day period. The visualization simultaneously presents: throughput, performance, runway system configuration and weather impact.

It's only a little bitty thing, but a first step!

Check it out: http://gratefulfrog-ap-demo.appspot.com/

And the documentation is available as well:

• pdf 
• ms-word

Problem Solving & Project Management

Hey! It's been a long time since I wrote words on this blog!

Would you like to see how to solve any problem?

If a man's hungry and you give him a fish, he'll feel less hungry.
If you teach him to fish, he won't be hungry again.
But if you hit him in the face with a fish, he won't bother you about fish any more!

Now, for the implementation, take a look at this.

Earned Value Analysis anyone?

Are you interested in finally understanding (and maybe learning to be a decent project manager)?

Then fasten your seat-belt and read this.

And why not take a look at loads of other obscure but fascinating stuff on my Home-Page.
