Convert pps into ppt files to edit them

Do you also receive some of these great pps screen presentations, which you want to integrate into your powerpoint presentations? In the past I always searched for a way to access these charts of these self running slideshows.

Now I found a very simple way to do this:
Just change the extension of the file from *.pps to *.ppt, by renaming it.
This is all you have to do to convert the file into a regular powerpoint file, which you can edit.

Have fun and keep on sharing ideas!

Free Ritter Sport Chocolate Testing

And here is something sweet for all my chocolate loving friends:

Ritter Sport is looking for people to test their new chocolate flavours. Just go to:

http://www.rittersport.de/#/de_DE/testerwerden/

and register as a chocolate tester. They will send you free chocolate regularly and will ask you for a feedback.

I might have to increase my triathlon training milage in order to compensate for the additional chocolate, as I have already registered for the program :-)

Oasis of the seas - incredible cruise ship

Hava a look at this ship. It is really enourmous what our customer Royal Caribbean is putting to the sea:



And what is the best of the ship? Of course the 47 Vitality juice dispensers on board :-)
I think this cruise ship customer has to be taken care of me personally :-)
