Whatever wrong happens to the world, I'll try to keep believing into humankind as strong as I can.

I hate the current president of the French Republic. Populism is not a policy at all.

Here is my unofficial propaganda...

The Big Apple

When a simple story becomes a legend...

Two hundred years ago today, Irma Chine of White Plains, New York, was performing her normal housekeeping routines. She was interrupted by British soldiers who, rallying to the call of their supervisor, General Hughes, sought to gain control of the voter registration lists kept in her home. Masking her fear and thinking fast, Mrs. Chine quickly divided a nearby apple in two and deftly stored the list in its center. Upon entering, the British blatantly violated every conceivable convention, and, though they went through the house virtually bit by bit, their search was fruitless. They had to return empty handed. Word of the incident propagated rapidly through the region. This historic event became the first documented use of core storage for the saving of registers. As the urban legend propagated, New York became the Big Apple.

Quotes

I like this quote from Sarkozy. 

"A desert is a tremendous place to cross by feet !  
You will only meet people you like and who like you truly."  
-- Nicolas Sarkozy.

Vision without action is a daydream.  
Action without vision is a nightmare.   
-- Japanese Proverb

"The odds against there being a bomb on a plane are a million to one, 
and against two bombs a million times a million to one.  
Next time you fly, cut the odds and take a bomb."  
-- given to famous Benny Hill

Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire,
you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy.
And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
You think about it; it's true. If you hire somebody without the first,
you really want them to be dumb and lazy.
-- given to Warren Buffet

This is a good idea, but, maybe it is not needed now.

From my point of view, unless we see a really big bug with the system, I've been happy to leave the points system from 0-100 as it is.  That is, no change, but document it.

Leaving the points system 0-100 is definately a pragmatic decision;  it could do with tuning but there are many other important things to sort out.  I expect the next auditor to be somewhat more skeptical, but we in the audit field need to be aware that we are improving the overall picture, not making things perfect.  So compromise is often needed.
