One more on how the @nbacc accountants’lab’ will work in NL

Why am I somewhat convinced that this article is what the results of the accountants’lab’ that is proposed in the Netherlands, will look like. Even when I like the idea! Just not the direction the proposed content of research is taking. Is (this) a lab for deep, methodologically cast-in-concrete but utterly boring science of the history writing kind with drab results that don’t apply in the chaos of the (business) world out there, or is (this) a lab about doing experiments, exploring the unexplored, with results scored on qualitative scales like Innovation and Beauty …?

With a picture because you held out so long reading the above:

[Yup, the axis going South]

Accountansdiscussie: Start en eind

Als 28 mei @nbacc met @tuacc in de slag gaat, is deze post misschien een hulp, en onderstaande alsnog het resultaat…
Imago accountants
[Parool, zaterdag 24 mei 2014]

Want laten we wel wezen: Een lab voor diepe vaktechniek loopt consequent (if) aan tegen: “Volgens de theorie kan niks hier werken en weten we exact waarom. In de praktijk werkt alles, maar niemand weet hoe. Wij mixen theorie en praktijk.” en ook: ” Laat niet degenen die zeggen dat iets onmogelijk is, in de weg staan van degenen die dat iets al doen.” Succes …

[En dan krijg ik weer te horen dat ik ‘te’ cynisch ben. Cynisme is een laatste poging vooruitgang te bereiken – waar de meeste betrokkenen (?) in apathie afwezig blijven, geestelijk of fysiek. Apathie; de houding van degenen die alle hoop zijn verloren. Nee, dáár ben je blij mee…]

Cryptostego

Just as last week I’ve been discussing stego with colleagues, I missed this Bruce’s post…
Be sure to read the comments, though. A couple on stacking steganography over cryptography, which is what I would presume would work.

And, again the question: what would you know of actual use ‘out there’; is it common, rare, what are the characteristics of its users ..? Is it the next big thing after (?) APTs …?

Oh, here it is; the pic you expected:

[Would ‘Riga’ be a hint that there’s more to the picture …!?]

Remember.

Many Books bQ, part VIII

Progressing with my Recommended Reading list, part VIII already. Index Librorum …
In random order (!); semantically and qua Importance. Seek order and you’ll be disappointed – that would be a result. Or give it a shot; look long and hard enough and you may find a connection, or theme. A spurious one. (?)

Column on Open Source code Bystanders

Well, the column is out there now… Will be published in the July 2014 ISSA Journal but here’s a preview, in Dutch

And, of course:

A short, ephemeral message on naïvité

[In contrast]

Who would have thought… Don’t they all fall …? When, not if.

To which we may add:

New ton’s theories

OK. Now which parts of his work would you consider unscientific; both by the standards of his time and by your today’s standards…
Because maybe he studied all terrains with comparable rigour, and maybe he found stuff of comparable importance. Who knows…

And, as expected:

[Viewed this way, less often. Cala at Vale, indeed]

Boring bingo

a.k.a. the accountants’ version, Dutch style:

Yup, if you understand what it says here, it would be something like:
“If you recognize the modernity and innovation and state-of-the-artness of all this, you understand how terribly boring all the news surrounding accountancy in NL is; if you can’t even fill out this card on a single day of news you take in, you’re lagging even these developments, you ultra-laggerd!”

Any words you miss ..?
