Terrace

Something is happening in the backyard.
Apart from the occasional racket at 7 am in the morning, you can now also see that the guys are busy to build something here.

Hinterhof

Whatever comes out of it - as long as I end up with a big terrace, I am fine with it.

"The best thing about cloud computing is that word: cloud. Telling consumers their data is in the cloud is like telling a kid his dog has gone to doggie heaven. There is no doggie heaven, and your data isn't in a cloud. It's in a windowless, fortress-like data center somewhere in the rural U.S." (Lev Grossman in Time, June 27, 2011)

"During the day, the cows would hang out in the pasture, chewing their cud. (Cud is the cow word for gum.) In the early evening, the cows had to be rounded up and taken to the barn for milking. I didn't work alone; I had a cow-worker: a highly trained farm dog named Ringo. The cows respected Ringo. He was a natural leader. When he barked, the cows would instantly line up at the barn door and offer to milk themselves." (from The Joy of Work)
"What would you do if you weren't afraid?" (from Who Moved My Cheese?)
"Most companies build their bureaucratic rules to manage the small percentage of wrong people on the bus, which in turn drives away the right people on the bus, which then increases the percentage of wrong people on the bus, which increases the need for more bureaucracy to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline, which then further drives the right people away, and so forth." (from Good to Great)
"Let's put a *smile* on that face!" (from The Dark Knight)
