Hug a developer

This was posted on our faculty portal, and it's kinda cute, and kinda sad.



It is the thing you see so often in "Dilbert". But then again if you haven't ever read Dilbert, or have, but don't like it, you should still like this video.
The thing presented is a problem in modern society, that need so much software created. But I believe things are going for the better, there are many big companies that are doing it right (Opera of course among them bigsmile ), and others are getting some ideas.
When will people learn that a manager also need to be very good in the thing he manages?

Nokia bluetooth problems

Nokia PC suite (if you don't know) is a free software that allows you to nicely access the phone, contacts, messages and do a whole lot of things easily.
It worked very nicely with my Blue Soleil Bluetooth.

When I started it last time, it asked if I would like to upgrade, the new version has this and that, and I said yeah why not. And since then it does not detect the existence of my bluetooth device. The device itself works perfect with the phone as it did before. But PC suite says there is no usable bluetooth. In the conection options it offers some kind of Microsoft bluetooth, which as far as I understood from various topics, is somehow separate, and I should see another entry for Blue Soleil.

Searching online showed that a whole lot of people shared my problem. It doesn't matter what versions are involved, an upgrade can mess up your connection. They recomend uninstalling pc suite, then geting an additional registry cleaner from nokia (why do I need additional cleaning I wonder?), and then trying to reinstall. That could work. But it didn't. They also mention reinstaling the device, which also didn't work for me.

I am giving up for now since I lost enough time and I didn't use it much anyway. I even have the option to use it on another pc.
But if anyone uses the pc suite and reads this, don't upgrade - it's a big risk it seems.
