NASDAQ crashed today. Just wondering what would be my net worth in USD ( Foreign Currency ) now. Feeling lucky to have GBP as my local currency :)

I am not feeling good today. Change in conditions. This guy with user-id RMTIWARI robbed me of my value. Now I have a net price of '1000.00 GBP'. Unbelievable, just a few moments back, I was one of the wealthiest Purchase Orders in my company having net worth of '5000.00 GBP'.
I don't want to live any more. Someone please complete my lifecycle.

Feeling heavier today. Someone added a few items to me with some real heavy stuff.
How would you feel when you are carrying 4 CAR-ENGINEs? Never mind... it also means I am much wealthier than before.

Happy Birthday to me. BTW, don't send/attach any documents to me through GOS [ Generic Object Services ]. Just send me a link and it will appear on my blog. ..That's right..

Welcome to ERP2.0. I am a Purchase Order... but even I have a blog . Also, visit my blog and search through Tags or titles.

I will let you know how it goes :)

What if SAP Purchase Orders ( For purely technicals/geeks, ME21N.. ) start having a Blog rather than change-logs ( Change Documents , remember CDHDR, CDPOS)? That would be Cool.

Can we replace change logs and archiving of outputs/prints/emails of SAP Business Objects by utilising a Blogging software? With the ability to search and arrange based on tags, it might just be useful.

Sometime back , I wrote about the simulation/integration of web2.0 stuff with/in SAP, see Web2.0 simulation wave at SDN and it seems to be happening now. See the report from TechEd. Now Nigel James is integrating Wordpress ( Blog-Platform ) with SAP.

I wonder if James Governor & Thomas are also excited about the opportunity to read Purchase Order's Blogs :-)

Next what, A Purchase Order who wants to have a Second Life , may be this time as a Sales Order or at least as a STP : Stock Transfer Order :-)

Thingamy and a Failure of web2.0

Tags are not enough. In fact, sometimes they don't make any sense at all, specially on my Blog. Check my posts based on tags. Frankly, they won't make much sense otherwise also ;-)

I guess now Sig will have to change his Tag ( sorry triple ) line as well .
Here's my 30*3=90 Megs(approx), at least now go run Germany.

I don't talk much but recently I commented on Sig's Blog and also shared my fictional idea about a Software Time Machine. "Sig + nicely explained + Triples" with the help of a few examples.

How come so many enterprise software bloggers reviewed, applauded , criticized & suggested but didn't notice such a basic issue with Thingamy's design[ in the hindsight , of course ]?

• Are these Web2.0 conversations shallow and lack the depth needed for any substantial impact?
• Is everyone busy stating the obvious?
• Is it because startups like Thingamy are less within the range of their business compared to SAP?
• Is it a failure of web2.0?
• Or is it a success? [At least everyone will share the blame. ]

Make a difference or stop writing......ok so here is my STOP, for the time being ;-)

Here is my TechEd, Go run to Germany.

SAP Business ByDesign is twice as complete. [ ByMistake ;-) ]

SAP announced its most complete on-demand Business Software Solution for SMB sector. The much awaited ( at least by the Enterprise Bloggers ) solution was designed around just 4 key principles. However, two of those principles seems to be completeness [ mentioned twice in the fact sheet of press release on SAP's site , may be just for the sake of completeness or to convey that redundancy is another ].

Well that might just be a minor mistake but read the news here : SAP Business ByDesign:Press Fact Sheet, September 2007
