These questions actually come from “The Software Developer’s Career Handbook” (“Being Geek”) by Michael Lopp. Beware: not every yes is a good yes.

• Is there an agenda?
• Is it followed?
• Is random debate encouraged?
• Can debate occur without involving the manager?
• Is debate limited to a specific time?
• Is the time allotted for the meeting always filled?
• Can it go over?
• Does it always go over?
• Is it a fun meeting?

Well, I have the book in front of me, and I know, what Michael Lopp thinks are positive yes-s, he calls them organic. If I look back at one particular bank project during the last couple of years, the manager utterly failed in terms of this check.The manager let aggressive Geek style team members bash others, because they dared to prolong the staff meeting, and because these other teem members asked questions, that the first ones already got dealt with in a 1:1 outside the staff meeting.

Mud-slinging in the Warez scene – The H Security: News and Features

My 7390’s firmware version is this: 84.04.85-18065.

There are other issues with the 7390 as well, but it’s a solid piece of router / wifi access point / pbx / dect access point / … – I do love my 7390, and I don’t want to swap it for anything else.

I didn’t experience those firewall attacks again, that I mentioned earlier.

But the box rebooted all off a sudden recently w/o leaving any reasonable or informative message.

Update re lost time:
Changing the NTP server (e.g. to 2.de.pool.ntp.org) seems to help.

Update 2011-01-05 re lost time:
No, changing the NTP server did not really help at all. I am losing about half an hour quite often. The NTP server is now again set to de.pool.ntp.org.
Manually re-connecting the Internet connection under Internet / Online-Monitor helps, if you want to get the time corrected instantly.
But I don’t want to imagine, I oversleep a train connection, because my FRITZ!Box initiated alarms on the phones do not occur at the right time.
