I’m on twitter

Today, waiting for my colleagues to go to eat a bite, I’ve read this post by Mark.

As I’ve written there in comments I signed in in twitter, even if I’m sceptical too (as Mark). Not for sure to say  “I’m on a bus”. But maybe it can have some usefulness as IM broadcaster :) Something like “take a look to this link” or “Have you an opinion about something?”. But why open a twitter account? Probably the questions is “can you give something to your reader?” Isn’t it the same question you should ask yourself opening a blog?
I still sceptical, but let me try http://twitter.com/maeste

You will find also a new box here in right side bar with my last 5 twitter entries. Let me know if some links or idea I share by twitter have some usefullness for you.

Funny timeout

Something happen at the office some days ago:

phone ringing

me: “Hello”
other: “Hi, I’m ***, I’m testing your webservices to implement X function of your B2B process”
me: “Ok, and…?”
other: “I’m getting timeout immediately”
me: “well timeout and immediately, seems two words in little contrast…” (some ritual questions about framework used, setting and so on) and finnally
me: “did you force a timeout client side?”
other: “Yes I set it at 300…but I get immediatly timeout”
me: “Immediately….. like 1/3 of second?”
other: “I don’t know…but I set it at 300 seconds, I’m not a newbie”
me: “No for sure, but may I ask if you sure they are seconds…..?”

ROTFL, sure he isn’t a newbie just a ……(put here what you want)……

Well, needless to say the answer about which framework he is using have been “.NET of course”. Yep of course :)
