IT people can be blunt not out of disrespect or rudeness, but simply because they occupy a very logical, concise intellectual space. Bluntness can easily be interpreted as rudeness. Be careful about going directly to the point, be tactful, and be aware of your audience. People will react to how you speak instead of what you say, and the message could be lost. Being abrupt and blunt is not the same as being candid, even if you are delivering bad news or giving a dissenting opinion. Be respectful, and use diplomacy in every interaction.

Get it now and sync it later


Couple of days a friend of mine asked me to recommend a Linux distribution that would play nicely with his old laptop so as usual I recommended Ubuntu to him but I told him to wait couple of days until they release Feisty and that because he have 256 ADSL line but now with this tip he can get it now and sync it later!

Thanks to ubuntu blog for their nice tips and tricks.

UPDATE: Ok, Ubuntu blog removed that post because excessive load caused by rsyncing users would kill the rsync server
