Fold your own CD case
February 9th, 2009
Ever Ran out of Cd cases? if so, make your own:
How to fold the paper case:
1. Fold the left and right sides (lines labelled “1″ and “2″).
2. Fold the bottom edge up to the line labelled “3″. Then fold it back. This part will be the pocket.
3. Fold the top edge down to the line labelled “4″ and then fold it back. Then fold the top edge down the the line labelled “5″ and then fold it back. This will make the spine and top flap.
4. Spread the sides of the pocket to the sides to create “wings”. Beginners can do this by folding lines “6″ and “7″ (first wing) and then lines “8″ and “9″ (second wing). Or, fold “6″ and “8″ and then “7″ and “9″. The fold lines may be off slightly depending on your printer.

Stop worrying
February 7th, 2009
Once acquired, the habit of worrying seems hard to stop. We’re raised to worry and aren’t considered “grown up” until we perfect the art. Teenagers are told: “you’d better start worrying about your future”. If your worries aren’t at least as frequent as your bowel movements, you’re seen as irresponsible, childish, aimless. That’s a “responsible adult” game rule.
To the extent that worrying is learned/conditioned behaviour, it can be undone. There are psychological gimmicks for undoing the worry habit. There are also obstacles.
Centuries-old cultural conditioning has given us a nasty neurosis: the belief that happiness must be “earned”. It can be “earned” only by enduring unpleasantness (eg work, pain, misery). But how do you know if you’ve endured enough unpleasantness to deserve happiness? Another unspoken game rule: “responsible adults” can never endure enough unpleasantness to truly deserve happiness.
Laid on top of the first neurosis is the idea that spending money will make you happy. This is toffee coating on a bad puritan apple. If you spend enough money to give you the (advertised) conditions for happiness, the neurosis emerges in the form of apparently random worries, guilt, “feeling shitty”, etc. Worrying is the easiest and most popular way to negate happiness.

According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and yo u can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
this is how it is all jumbled:
Acorncidg to a rseeecahrr at Caimdgbre Urnvsitiey, it dosen’t mteatr in what oderr the lteerts in a word are, the only iotamnprt thing is taht the first and last letetr be at the rgiht pcale. The rset can be a taotl mess and yo u can stlil raed it wuhiott pbrloem. This is bsuceae the haumn mnid does not read eevry letter by itlesf but the wrod as a wolhe.

Brainwaves controll robot arm
January 27th, 2009
Ever thought what would happen to you if you were to lose your arm?
Don’t worry any more. There is still hope:
Scientists have had a string of remarkable successes lately, taking signals from the brains of monkeys and men, and using them to move mechanical arms.
Darpa, the Pentagon’s blue-sky research division, now wants to ratchet that work up about ten notches, by developing a “neurally controlled artificial limb that will restore full motor and sensory capability to upper extremity amputee patients. This revolutionary prosthesis will be controlled, feel, look and perform like the native limb.”
So, basically, what Luke Skywalker gets in Empire Strikes Back, after Darth chops off his hand. Except, researchers won’t have a long, long time to get this limb ready. Darpa wants the robo-arm stat — in four years or less.

The Mental state called flow
January 19th, 2009
Strugling to get to work? can’t really focus?
The mental state that psychologists call “flow”, and its impact on your project, are well described in chapter 10 (“brain time versus body time”) of PeopleWare. Chapter 30 of RapidDevelopment quotes heavily from PeopleWare, and even includes a relevant Dilbert cartoon. Both refer to IBM’s SantaTeresaLaboratory, which was designed, based on scientific studies, as a place where designers could be productive. (Yes, they have offices with *REAL DOORS*; and lots of desk space.)
“Flow” is a mental state of deep concentration. It typically takes about 15 minutes of uninterrupted study to get into a state of “flow”, and the constant interruptions and distractions of a typical office environment will force you out of “flow” and make productivity impossible to achieve.
