Netherlands cannot survive to 10 cm of snow

I believe Netherlands is an efficient country, at least compared with Italy: paper communications are limited, appointment can be booked via web, information are straightforward, less bureaucracy, etc…

When we talk about snow… that’s another movie. In two words: complete mess. Yesterday snow only 10 cm that was, by the way expected and I was assisting at the apocalypse.

I can understand that train can run with less frequency, but do you think is normal that Amsterdam airport is cut out of the train line for hours? Or that train or planes are not departing because the driver got stuck in the traffic?

we are still talking about 10 cm of expected snow

Moreover as nobody swept the streets or to spread salt, on the streets there is a thick layer of compressed snow that, for the low temperature, is now transformed a block of ice.

As this is the third year in a row that in winter there is snow, I would have expected some constant improvements year by year to avoid disruptions.

Thanks god I was neither flying nor traveling

From Mike Myatt – Forbes.com

Vision and pursuit are the keys that make good, a leader. A leadership à la Steve Jobs, to make an easy example.

Building a good company requires hard work from everybody.
To destroy it, does not need more than one person.

Give your employees unlimited vacation time

I partially agree on this post. I believe that removing constraints on vacation days can work only on specific companies, where the average age is lower than 30 years, the work is funny, intriguiing and interesting, and the salary is not above the average (yes, I believe that on high salaries it won’t work).

On the four reason mentioned in the article, I think that only the third and forth points are a reasonable advantage, the rest does not really change.

The Netherlands lags behind in mobile Internet use

Guys, fortunately is clear. I had no doubt the mobile internet quality (3G network) is one of the worst in Europe (Italy, Germany have both better quality and speed), and despite in The Netherlands everthing seems better (at least for the average Italian that complains againt politics) it is not. I would have expected to see telecom improvements long time ago.

I think nothing is happening because in The Netherlands there is not free market on the mobile telecomunication; all the companies and brands (T-Mobile, Telfort, Vodafone, etc.) have too similar and expensive fees and it looks there is not market competition and no advantages for users.

Let’s see if something is going to happens in 2012. I doubt so, at least on this topic.

Italia – Bisogna smettere di arrabbiarsi con i politici quando è da NOI, dal nostro comportamento e dalle nostre scelte che devono iniziare a cambiare le cose.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 20,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
