When one goes to a job interview, mostly in retail stores and other similar jobs, a test is often asked to be filled. The purpose of the test is to aid the filtering process of the applications in there.
My brother emailed me an interesting answer sheet for one of those tests. You should really take a look at it, there are some very interesting answers and questions.
For example, every question has four possible answers:
- Strongly Disagree
- Disagree
- Agree
- Strongly Agree
And only one correct answer, but according to the answer key: “Disagree” or “Agree” are NEVER the right answer to any question, even though any sensible person will have mixed feelings about all these questions
.
Nevertheless, I have found several particularly interesting answers for questions I know I would have answered differently:
- When people make mistakes, you correct them – Strongly Disagree
- When you are annoyed with something, you say so – Strongly Disagree
- You do not like to take orders – Strongly Disagree
- You get mad at yourself when you make mistakes – Strongly Disagree
And some other answers that quite surprised me:
- You are somewhat a of a thrill-seeker – Strongly Agree
- Many people cannot be trusted – Strongly Disagree
- You’ve done your share of troublemaking – Strongly Disagree
I found these tests to be anti-ambitious and anti-innovative. They are simply looking for strait-forward, friendly and rule obeying employees. What is your opinion?
I used to having FlashFXP as my default FTP client. It’s fast (so I thought), easy to use and I feel comfortable using it because I know some keyboard shourtcuts.
Even in my workplace where FileZilla was the default FTP client that everyone used, I insisted on bringing my disk-on-key with a portable version of FlashFXP.
When you start using a particular FTP client it’s very hard to say goodbye. You already have all the usernames,passwords and hosts laying there ordered just as you like it. You don’t even think about moving the whole list to another client one by one. Another thing that keeps you from changing your FTP client is that FTP access is very sensitive and you don’t want to transfer/rename/delete files by accident. Deleting or overwriting a certain file that has no backup can cost you a lot of valuable time.
So why did I change my client software? There were two major differences between FileZilla and FlashFXP that convinced me to switch.
- The speed, oh the speed. With FlashFXP you can’t transfer two files at the same time while using FileZilla you can transfer up to 10(!) files simultaneously. This improves the transfer time of say… a WordPress install in hundreds of percents.
- Simultaneous file editing.When using FlashFXP to edit files you can only edit one file at a certain time. While editing that file you can do nothing until you commit the file and after committing the file, if you wish to continue editing it you need to close your text editor and reopen the file. Luckily FileZilla improves the file editing experience and brings it into a new level. In FileZilla you can edit as many files as you want at the same time, you can do whatever you want while editing (Such as browsing folders, refreshing the file list,committing other files and so on…) and you don’t have to close and reopen the file each time you make a change.
This was my experience using FTP clients, as for the FTP accounts list, I just add them one by one each time I need to log in to a certain website.
I’m now writing this post while I really should package my bag instead but never mind :).
Tomorrow in 8 o’clock I will be on a bus on my long way south to Eilat with my friends and we are going to stay there for four days until Sunday. We hired an apartment for those three nights and we split the rent between all of us (We are six).
Mainly I wanna say that I’m not gonna be here for some time so I’ll answer the pile of mails only when I get back. You can still send email just don’t expect to get a replay anytime soon.
How can I publish this post without some useless map from Google Maps:
I have to say that Black Eyed Peas ready succeed in their awesome comeback.
First they unleashed the addictive party beat “Boom Boom Pow” that I couldn’t stop listening to and now just at the right time when I got tired of “Boom Boom Pow” they released “I Gotta Feeling”.
“Boom Boom Pow” By Black Eyed Peas

Another great song that I would like to share with you is a song by Jason Mraz, called “I’m Yours”
As you can see that this time I didn’t embed the tracks from YouTube, I used another amazing website called GrooveShark that lets you create your own play list from music all around the world and hear it for a symbolic fee of… nothing! For free!
That’s it, I hope you enjoy them and have a nice weekend.
Yes… I’m a Family Guy fan. This show is just so hilarious, I think it’s the funniest comedy I ever watched. Well… Seinfeld & Family Guy are at the first place, each one is the best at his own comedy category.
Anyways here is the last family guy episode, you can watch all of the episodes online at Watch Family Guy Online dot Org. At my opinion, the best season is season four, it’s just non-stop laughing.
The competition for family guy is like The Simpsons and South Park. Actually, I’m thinking of removing The Simpsons from the competitors list because frankly… It’s just not funny :(. But on the other hand, South Park is very good. By the way I have watched all of Seinfeld,South Park and Family Guy episodes. Yup, each and every one of them, I didn’t miss even one. Just name a scene and I’ll continue it :). Back to the Family Guy vs. The Simpsons, I think that the winner is indeed Family Guy.
What you all think about Family Guy?
Here are another two songs that I would like to share with you all.
Both of the songs are pretty old but I just LOVE `em.
The first one is “Kids” by “MGMT”, I love this one and he is just so catchy like the second one.
Kids by MGMT
The song rocks and all but there is something really weird about the lyrics :/.
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted
To be haunted
It’s like… WTF?
Anyway… Now back to the second song.
The second song is also from MGMT (Thank you!), it’s called “Time to Pretend” and there is nothing more to say about it.
Time to Pretend by MGMT
That’s it :) I hope you enjoy these great songs.
That’s right, you’ve heard me right. I can get you an extreme deal of gadgets, electronics and other stuff that you don’t really need for an extremely low price and with no shipping cost at all!
Take a look at DealExtreme.com, it’s just amazing. You can get all the cables that your nearby computer stores sell for 25$+ or just 5$ and other stuff like that. Here are a couple of examples:
- 100 Dice for 2.20$ – Who doesn’t need LOTS of dice?
- Mini Bluetooh Dongle for 2.49$ – It’s so small :).
- Network Retractable Cable for 1.78$ – You could always user a spare cable.
- Spy Video Recorder Pen for 19.97$ – You know you want it.
- LED Power Ball for 7.71$ – Warning, super addictive item.
- iPod Earphones for 1.98$ – You know you’ll lose yours someday.
That’s just a handful of items you can get there. Just be careful not to spend too much, it looks very cheap but when you take many products that each one cost 2$-3$ it adds up to big amounts. My brother just got his second order yesterday :). Now I’m waiting for a cable that’s on its way.
I thought I would share some music I listen to.
First is this new eminem single. When I first heard the song I just couldn’t stand it, I thought to myself “Damn, eminem had so many great hits and now he comes back with this shit?”. About a week or two later, after hearing it again several times on the radio and such, I began to like it. Now I can hear it in a loop for hours :).
We Made You by Eminem
The second one is “Crazy” by “Gnarls Barkley”. Yeah I know its old and all that but from the moment I heard it last month in a T.V. commercial, I couldn’t stop myself from Googling and hearing it in a loop over and over again (I even put this is my iPhone… The iPhone that I jumped into a pool with… Well thats another story).
Crazy by Gnarls Barkley
I’ll post every now and then some more awesome songs that I’m addicted to :)
