“made in moris”. Worst branding ever!!!

made in moris

Have they gone crazy? This is total bullshit!

Inside jokes are cool between friends. Only insiders can appreciate that. We cannot use a local word in a branding that will represent Mauritius in the world.

Foreigners know the word Mauritius from maps, dictionaries etc. Mauritius was branded “Mauritius : C’est un plaisir“. Would they be able to know “moris” is actually Mauritius? We’re wasting our marketing resources here. Y U NO MARKET MAURITIUS IN A CONSISTENT WAY!?

Hey! Would you go to a wedding in shorts and beachwear stuffs?

Ofcourse you can! But would you? Is this the image they want others to have about us? That we are retards? We don’t know the context. We mix English with some other language?

Made in Mauritius is cool enough. I’m proud of my country!

Android gingerbread doesn’t have an option to choose snooze time?

Seriously, what the hell. Nokia 3310 does have this option. My phone snoozes at 10 mins.

It is really inconvenient. It makes me lose lots of time in the morning in case i don’t wake up on the first alarm.

I can continue to press the snooze button for 1.5 hours in the morning 🙁

A very stupid .gitignore file :(

I created a .gitignore file and inserted few directories in it. When i ran this command,

git add *

Got this error message

The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:

myfiles/

Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added

After doing some research on the internet, found this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6609441

It worked after i added a comment. Now, when i remove the comment, it still works. WTF!?

Programmers’ life suck 🙁

 2. Bookmarks

Dunno since when this feature started working but it is now reading my Firefox bookmarks which is awesome! So, i can access any of my bookmarks easily by pressing Alt+F2 and typing the first few letters and it shows up.
