Mental State Called Flow
Topic: Technology 12:21 pm EDT, Jul 12, 2006

A number of sources, most recently ProgrammingOutsideTheCube and the RingerTape page, say that many folk find it takes time to get into a state where work flows. Do you plan to get into flow, does it come upon you more as a kind of inspiration, or is it not necessary for you? Do you use tactics to improve your team's ability to flow? Which particular events disrupt flow the most, and how do you solve them?

For me, flow requires both inspiration and expiration, if that makes sense. I need to get out into green places or seasides to drink in what's around me, and then I can breathe that vitality back into my work. Does this happen similarly for others? I think flow is vital for quality work - what's the best strategy to improve it? -- PeterMerel

Flow as it pertains to them puters.

It is free of charge and ads, and largely free of copyrights.

I've been living on this site today, trying to write some complex cross-browser event handlers for javascript.

Topic: Technology 7:26 pm EDT, Jul 11, 2006

# ABOUT:
#
# This is the Shadowcat Catalyst installer. Its purpose is to make it easier
# and quicker to get started with Catalyst development. In order to use it,
# make sure you have perl 5.8.1+, a make and a compiler, (nmake and dev-c++
# are good on windows), a configured CPAN.pm and Module::Build installed. Then
# run this script by executing
#
# /path/to/perl cat-install
#
# and go for a tea break. If anything breaks, please send the full build log
# and the output of perl -V to cat-install@shadowcatsystems.co.uk and we'll
# see what we can do. This script is still BETA though, so don't be too
# surprised if something *does* break.
#

Catalyst::Manual::Intro - Introduction to Catalyst - cpansearch.perl.org
Topic: Technology 7:08 pm EDT, Jul 11, 2006

What is Catalyst?

Catalyst is an elegant web application framework, extremely flexible yet extremely simple. It's similar to Ruby on Rails, Spring (Java), and Maypole, upon which it was originally based. Its most important design philosphy is to provide easy access to all the tools you need to develop web applications, with few restrictions on how you need to use these tools. However, this does mean that it is always possible to do things in a different way. Other web frameworks are initially simpler to use, but achieve this by locking the programmer into a single set of tools. Catalyst's emphasis on flexibility means that you have to think more to use it. We view this as a feature. For example, this leads to Catalyst being more suited to system integration tasks than other web frameworks.

Catalyst is neat.

Several blasts rock Mumbai commuter trains - Wikinews
Topic: Current Events 12:13 pm EDT, Jul 11, 2006

The attack has the trademarks of Kashmiri Islamic terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba which has set off bombs in quick succession in Indian cities before. India's domestic intelligence agency, the Intelligence Bureau, claims that this attack, as also the grenade attacks in Jammu and Kashmir earlier today were aimed at diverting attention from the elections being held in Pakistani Kashmir.

It does sound like Pakistani/Kashmiri separatists are adopting the style of 'Al Q.'

Imitrex Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Sumatriptan Succinate - RxList Monographs
Topic: Health and Wellness 6:38 pm EDT, Jul 10, 2006

Sumatriptan succinate tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.

Sumatriptan succinate tablets are not intended for the prophylactic therapy of migraine or for use in the management of hemiplegic or basilar migraine (see CONTRA

Makes me feel very, very strange but... this is the good stuff. Very quick cure, and if the pill isn't fast enough there is a nasal spray or injection.

Where's My Google PC? - It's coming. It'll be great. You'll hate it. By Paul Boutin
Topic: Technology 11:23 pm EDT, Jul  5, 2006

or a sneak peek at the future of computing, go to YouOS and click "Try a Demo." Your browser window turns into a desktop of its own, with sub-windows for e-mail, chat, and Web browsing. There are also links on the YouOS desktop for a sticky-notes program and a rich-text editor. But these programs aren't on your hard drive—they're running somewhere in the vast unknown Internet.

YouOS is the fledgling startup of four recent college grads with a bit of angel funding. Its simplicity makes it a great demo. Anyone who logs on can instantly spot the big idea: You don't need Windows! You don't even need a PC! You can login and work from anywhere using any gadget with a screen and a keyboard.

Just because the demo and the name are cool doesn't mean YouOS will replace Windows. It does, however, serve as a proof-of-concept for people who doubt the viability of Web-based operating systems. Check out YouOS for 10 minutes, then imagine the same project on a billion-dollar budget. Now do you think the mythical Google PC that's allegedly being secretly developed in Silicon Valley—or in China or on a Ukrainian IRC channel—will become reality?
