Graversen

I have been going to the Formula One Grandprix for some years. I have always enjoyed staying at the campgrounds. It is a mix with people just wanting to party, have fun and be creative in coming up with campgrounds. I like going there to be reset and see what is possible and get some time to relax. Plus enjoy some loud noises and some racing.

Now this year the German Grand Prix is in Hockenheim, close to SAP HQ in Waldorf. It is on July 23-25 2010. So I thought that some other SAP professionals also are going to the event. It could be a great place to network and met other people who have a passion for SAP and motorsports.

It would be fun to catch up with some other SAP professionals, so if you are going to the Grandprix drop a comment and let’s find a time to get something to drink or something to eat. I do hope to get a lot of responses, and then we might even be able to create some kind of a camp.

It seems like the company Okuma Group is trying to move into Denmark also. They have some well spoken sale men that are trying to sell their products. They expect the stock of Trina Solar Limited to go from $20 to 40 or 50 in a couple of months.

They have also tried to call German speaking countries like described on Amazingly elaborate fraud scheme: Okuma Group.

What is interesting is that the company name domain is only registered on 12 feb 2010 according to WHOIS. And even better it is register to an anonymous user. It does not sound trust worthy.

They news list is not real trust worthy it only dates back until July 2 2010 and only contains links to other analytics.

They also offered a less tax way thru clearing houses exotic places. Wander if you would ever see the money again.

When I was still working with a larger SAP implementation project, I have always been a part of the integration team. Most of the time I was sitting together with other integration consultants and discussing work stuffs on how to be more productive with the business. It was really great because we have the opportunity to discuss different things regarding better solutions. However, from a service perspective, it can be done better.

On my current project I have moved to the inventory or warehouse team. I consider them as my primary customer whom I need to help with various Warehouse integrations. After I have been a part of the team for some time I have learned a lot on what the processes are. I’m still a part of the integration team, but sitting on a table with a warehouse team instead. It just started with me sitting in there for a day but as time passed I realized I just got stuck with the routine.

Being on the team means it is much easier to learn what is going on and what is going to change. I can track their schedule and what they expect to be working on, so I can focus my attention on that aspect.

A large part of the difference is that communication is way better. I have a better understanding on what the team wants and can quickly adapt the solution to match their needs. The speedy pace of making changes is really crucial in the test or late build phase where the final adjustments should be made.

The thing I’m missing is the ability to learn what’s going on with the other integration solutions. I’m not getting as much information on what everyone else is doing and help them with their tasks. This could mean that our projects might not create as a uniform integration solution across the board.

It would probably make sense to have some meetings in the integration team, where we talked about the different solutions we are making, to make us share the knowledge across all participants.

If you have the option to be a part of any of the process teams, I would surely recommend you do it. You will be able to provide them with better and faster service.

I guess that this also apply to developers in general, if any of the teams provides enough jobs to be able to work on them.

Do you have any experience in being in the process team, and would you like to share some of your thoughts on it.

I just saw a cool video on a blog by Robert Scoble on why he works at Rackspace.

It is a quite an interesting video, that shows that the purpose of creating anything is the most important when motivating people.

The video mentions studies that prove that a large bonus does not make us perform better jobs. That is the normal assumption, but people just want to get enough for them to survive and not caring about money.

I’m trying to work for a purpose and make the purpose grand enough that figaf.com and caseish.com, will trive. But I have probably not set the goal high enough and made it clear what the purpose is really about.

Yesterday I was to the second Danish Yes group meeting. It was interesting to see other people also working with self development.

Brigitte Sumner talked about relationships and how men should get the balls back. We did different exercises to learn a bit more about what was going on.

There was also a drawing for a winner for the Oslo Leadership event.

I just wrote separate posts about the first three days of the Date with Destiny event. Then I did not have time to write anything because, was not waking up early enough to write anything. So this post will just be a summary of how I have seen the event.

I had a really good time and learned a lot about myself. I won’t write a long rapport about the event instead I created a small video in Washington Airport.

Now it is just to figure out how to use it in real life.

The only thing I did not like about the event was that the schedule was never correct. If the meeting time was at some point, the event started at least 15 minutes later. That just meant more time for connecting with others.

What an extreme day we had today.

First we talked about what you where centered towards. There were currently 8 different levels for consciousness. It all depends on how you see the world. It ranges from the basic needs and move towards a spirits centric, where you just love all human beings. This model was based on Dr. Graves works.

We did have a blessing session. It was a really spiritual session where we got affected by some old energy. It cannot be described in any way it just have to be experienced. So far this at been one of the most intense moments I have had.

Then the plan was to do some work with our values, but we ended up talking about relationships which is the purpose of the four the day session.

I did a small video from the surrounding golf course at my morning run. It was just a super day to get moving and see the sun rice in the desert.

The second day of Date with Destiny (DWD) was much better than the first.

Today I got some really interesting distinctions on how life needs to be changed.

I have recorded some of the distinctions that I have made in this video.

The only irritating thing about the event was the timing you expect things to start on time. But guess you just have to live with not knowing when things stats.

We did have time for a dinner break, it was nice to be together in the room and create a fast and healthy meal.

So day was the big day with Date with Destiny. First of I started the day with a run around the golf course go get an hour of power. The surroundings was astonishing and I did pretty well with the running.

We got to the conference center at 10am, and had heard the previous day that the event would start at 10.30am. When we got there we found that the start had been postponed to 11.30am. The weather outside was nice so, I was able meet with somebody outside.

At the event I was able to get some nice seats on 4 row, so I was able to follow pretty close in the stage. So I got a got view of Tony Robbins.

This first day contained a lot of the elements from Unleash the Power Within(UPW), that I was on in October. It was explained a bit different and had some different stories but the basis was what we learned last time. I thought think that it was great to be reminded of what was going on and get back into the emotional stage from then.

I’m looking forward to learn more about how I can use the information to change my life. I’m looking forward to spend time with the coaches tomorrow.

Monday was the day before Date With Destiny (DWD). I said goodbye to Sean when he got to work for the day.
Then I worked on creating some of the ideas that I had on my todo list. I was productive enough to be to make make the new design on masteringwave work. That was pretty nice to be able accomplish that.
I also got time to fired one emploey, how had not worked as much as I had expected. It was a bit difficult to communicate with him and get him to work on the right projects and the correct pace.
I talked with MenInBlue about a PI consulting job, and it seems like I could get the job. So that would be nice to get 3½ month of extra payment. That would mean that I have something to do for the next long time. And that Figaf can be successfull.

The I took the taxi to meet the others and settle in. It was really nice to meet everyone else at the room. There are plenty space for all of us and they are all nice. We went shopping in the health food store and got some cool food, what we cooked together. We had a problem that it was not everyone how was at the place so we did not meet well.

Luca and Aron meet some girls that came over. So already on the first day did we get visitors nice. It was fun to talk with them and hear what they had to say.

It seems like many had a problem with the money and had found that it was too expensive and had second thoughts on getting to Date with Destiny after they purchased the tickets. It does not seems right that people are caught into being hire. But once the money was paid they where quite excited about getting the job done.

I’m really looking forward to the day and figuring out what I can do and what we need to learn.
I did a small video of the dinner.
