No one should joke about someone leaving a company under good circumstances. A recent employee left and as per company communication policy and annoucement went out, well, this opened the flood gates to about 5 further emails relating to this mans departure from the company. Something I have never seen in my 3.5 years working here. I must meet this man! Without further a due, here is a humorous tag along sent to a select few peers about the matter.
Team, just to remind you all in case you haven’t heard that Mr. Popular is leaving today.
I’m angered that there has not been enough communication in regards to this man’s departure from the company because I feel that email alone does not suffice. Someone should contact the medias, the emergency broadcast system, the gossip queens, shout from the roof tops – people have the right to know!
Frankly I’m little concerned with what the future has in store for us now that Mr. Popular is gone?
Can we go on without Mr. Popular?
I have even devoted an Outlook rule to this great man to handle any email or calendar request so I don’t have to be reminded any more – its just too hard.
Farewell Mr. Popular.

Just a month ago, Twitchfilm brought you the teaser trailer for the new Tekken movie. And now it has a U.S. release date – 26th July, as well as a new trailer!
Titled TEKKEN: BLOOD VENGEANCE, it will be made in full 3D CGI animation. Director is Youichi Mouri, responsible for the opening movies of TEKKEN 5 and 6, while scriptwriter is Dai Sato, who wrote the screenplays for COWBOY BEBOP and GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX. The production company Digital Frontier previously brought us APPLESEED and APPLESEED EX MACHINA. So at least one thing is guaranteed: it will look absolutely amazing! And the trailer totally confirms it.

Hmm I didn’t feel a thing. Which is unusual because I apparently I am a human quake detector. The last big one we had, I felt the couch move but my husband felt nothing! One has to wonder whether mother nature has something planned for us…or maybe I’ve been watching too much National Geographic.

Melbourne city jolted by quake
Melbourne city has been shaken by a series of earth tremors following a 4.4 magnitude quake in Gippsland.
More aftershocks are expected after Victoria’s south was rocked by two earthquakes, including a magnitude 4.4 tremor felt more than 100km away from the epicentre near Korumburra.
The shallow magnitude 4.4 earthquake, which hit at 11.32am, was felt in Melbourne’s CBD and the south-eastern suburbs.
A second, smaller quake shook Korumburra, with reports it was again felt in Melbourne, at 12.37pm, a spokesman from Geosciences Australia said. The epicentre of the original quake was about 7km west of Korumburra.

This is a great example of why DR and business continuity plans are critical to businesses!

Comments 106 At least 4800 Australian websites have been lost with no chance of recovery following a break-in at Australian domain registrar and web host Distribute.IT.
The hack attack caused so much damage that four of the company’s servers were “unrecoverable”, the company said, leaving thousands of website owners in the lurch.
“The overall magnitude of the tragedy and the loss of our information and yours is simply incalculable; and we are distressed by the actions of the parties responsible for this reprehensible act,” Distribute.IT said.
