Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now is amazingly silly in places, but occasionally it's also rather thoughtful. The basic theme: be here now. In Chapter Two, for example:<br><br>Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.<br><br>Observe your feelings, Tolle counsels, but don't identify them with your self. "Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware ... of 'the one who observes,' the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence."<br><br>And don't get angry or frustrated when you have to wait. From Chapter Four:<br><br>... many people are waiting for prosperity. It cannot come in the future. When you honor, acknowledge, and fully accept your present reality — where you are, who you are, what you are doing right now — when you fully accept what you have got, you are grateful for what you have got, grateful for what is, grateful for Being. Gratitude for the present moment and the fullness of life now is true prosperity. It cannot come in the future. ...<br><br>Tolle concludes, "So give up waiting as a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting . . . snap out of it. Come into the present moment. Just be, and enjoy being. If you are present, there is never any need for you to wait for anything. ..."
Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now is amazingly silly in places, but occasionally it's also rather thoughtful. The basic theme: be here now. In Chapter Two, for example:
Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
Observe your feelings, Tolle counsels, but don't identify them with your self. "Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware ... of 'the one who observes,' the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence."
And don't get angry or frustrated when you have to wait. From Chapter Four:
... many people are waiting for prosperity. It cannot come in the future. When you honor, acknowledge, and fully accept your present reality — where you are, who you are, what you are doing right now — when you fully accept what you have got, you are grateful for what you have got, grateful for what is, grateful for Being.

Tolle concludes, "So give up waiting as a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting . . . snap out of it. Come into the present moment. Just be, and enjoy being. If you are present, there is never any need for you to wait for anything. ..."
So try to ignore Tolle's asides on energy fields, his musings on "why women are closer to enlightenment" because of collective cosmic consciousness, mystical menstrual flow, etc. Just be, now and here.

Here’s version 0.2 which seems to work now … it puts the reference page URL (from which the highlighted scrap comes) into double-square-brackets so no problem with trailing “.” in a URL (Oddmuse parser apparently does what’s usually the right thing and doesn’t include a period at the end of a URL in the link, since generally it’s the end of a sentence!) and it changes newlines into double-newlines so that the copy/paste scrap looks more reasonable in the wiki …

http://www.gtdtimes.com/2011/12/18/david-allens-advice-on-making-gtd-simpler-to-adopt/
Someone new to GTD asked David Allen for advice on making GTD simpler to adopt.
David answered this way . . .
It’s hard to get it any simpler than this:
Keep meaningful stuff out of your head
Make action and outcome decisions about the stuff sooner than later
Organize reminders of those items in easy to view places
Review it all and keep it current
Any one of those elements without the others won’t really produce that much value.

Rather, when I step back and evaluate what has happened, I'm reminded about the fundamental flaw in Google's strategy, and the fundamental flaw in cloud computing. All the trends in computing are moving away from a world in which the user has control, and towards a model in which the user is merely a consumer.
Consider web applications. These are often touted as the replacement for desktop applications, offering many advantages, like seamless upgrades, a globally distributed network of backups, and accessibility across a wide variety of devices.
Consider app stores. Users are herded into obtaining the programs for their computing devices from fenced off stores, the virtues of which are lauded widely: higher average app quality, reduction of malware, and, again, seamless upgrades.
Consider email. This one is a bit more subtle, but the reason that the original web applications (email, IRC, usenet, websites) were successful was that they were federated. In simple terms, that means that anyone could run their own email server and communicate with anyone else that ran an email server. It was, in essence, peer-to-peer. The same is true of IRC, usenet, and websites. But today, we have consolidated providers that the vast majority of users flock to. The modern day killer apps aren't IRC or usenet, but social networks, and those have emerged in the form of Facebook, an enormous walled garden. Efforts have been made to make a federated version of Facebook (see Appleseed and Disapora), but none have made significant inroads. Users' data is being removed from their control, and in most cases, they don't even know it.
When we remove control from users, we remove the option for them to retain the tools they like, instead forcing them to "upgrade" to whatever new version is deemed "better". This model works very well when the dictator is benevolent. It works best when the code for the tools is open, and can be forked into new versions when the official version is not desirable to a large group of users. But what about when the dictator making the changes is malevolent (i.e. the service provider's interests don't align with the customers' interests), and the code is not available? In those cases, which are the vast majority, the users are locked in, and without recourse.

To bring this back to programming languages, one thing that always bothers me is why new ones keep appearing. I start saying things like "I guess language n-1 wasn't that great since language n came along and people jumped to it". How long did that most recent one last? A year or two?
Meanwhile, I'm back on language n-bignum, and yet I still manage to get things done. Better still, since I"m not chasing the shininess in that realm, I can spend those cycles on other things.
It would be different if I was stubbornly clinging to a programming language where I could not get things done. At that point, it would be obvious that I had lost hold of a pragmatic reality and was operating on some other premise.
That's about where the conversation got before I realized that it wasn't doing anything to further the cause of actually scheduling our hackathon. We were worrying about things which might not even matter. The fact that one person prefers Ruby and the other prefers C++ might turn out to be totally irrelevant depending on what we try to build.
We decided to just schedule it when time opened up in our respective calendars and then see what happens. It definitely beats having hypothetical language debates until the heat death of the universe.
At some point, you just have to shut up and make stuff.

Specifically, the bookmarklet is a little chunk of javascript that might look like:
javascript:location.href='http://zhurnaly.com/cgi-bin/wiki?action=scrapbook;id=SandBox;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+';scrap='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
which is meant to produce a URL that looks like:
which would be generated if the user highlighted the words “Oddmuse is a wiki engine” on the Oddmuse main page.
The goal is to go to the page in the id= parameter (in this case, SandBox) and draw an <hr> followed by the url= parameter followed by the scrap= parameter (un-encoded so it’s regular text).

Enlightenment could be nothing more (though this would be far from nothing!) than a supremely joyful state in which we feel all matter and life contained within the universe are one. Though Buddhism presumes the knowledge and wisdom one can gain from enlightenment actually reflects the truths about the cosmos, the skeptic in me recognizes this to be a first principle—meaning it’s unprovable. And the scientist in me recognizes that our brains—again, marvelous as they may be—may actually not be marvelous enough, and that the experience of enlightenment (a life-state that’s entirely reasonable to believe is possible given that many have reported experiencing it) doesn‘t actually describe the way things are, but simply represents the most enviable life-state we can experience.

All Over Me- Josh Turner
Well the weather man says it's gonna be a hot one, heard it on the radio,
Load up the boat, grab your girl if you got one, nice little breeze gonna blow,
Baby I'm on my way to come and getcha, meet me at the end of your drive,
Grab your shades and your string bikini and your Coppertone 45,
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good times, girl let me look at you,
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet, honey let your hair down too.
I know a spot down on the river, underneath the Sycamore tree,
Save all your kisses, but bring on your sweet love, pour it all over me
All over me.
We can build us a fire when we run out of daylight, let it light up your face,
Lay on a blanket, listen to the river, get a little carried away
Well I can take a side kiss on your sweet lips, ain't gonna want it to end,
So when the morning comes, we'll roll on out, and do it all over again
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good times, girl let me look at you,
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet, honey let your hair down too.
I know a spot down on the river, underneath the Sycamore tree,
Save all your kisses, but bring on your sweet love, pour it all over me
All over me.
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good times, girl just look at you,
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet, honey let your hair down too.
I know a spot down on the river, underneath the Sycamore tree,
Save all your kisses, but bring on your sweet love, pour it all over me
All over me.
Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
Pour it all over me,
All over me.
Two scholars, Philip E. Tetlock, professor of management and psychology at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, and Gregory Mitchell, a professor of law at the University of Virginia, have done provocative and useful work analyzing the pluses and minuses of liberalism and conservatism.
In “Liberal and Conservative Approaches to Justice: Conflicting Psychological Portraits,” Tetlock and Mitchell argue that the liabilities of conservatism include the following:
“Conservatives are too prone to engage in zero-sum thinking (either I keep my money or the government takes it). They fail to appreciate the possibility of positive sum solutions to social conflicts.”
Conservatives hold “the laissez-faire ‘minimal-state’ view that, although we have a moral obligation to refrain from hurting others, we have no obligation to help others. Conservatives cling to the comforting moral illusion that there is a sharp distinction between allowing people to suffer and making people suffer.”
“Conservatives fail to recognize that even if each transaction in a free market meets their standards of fairness (exchanges between competent adults who have not been coerced or tricked into contracts), the cumulative results could be colossally unfair.”
“Conservatives do not understand how prevalent situational constraints on achievement are and thus commit the fundamental attribution error when they hold the poor responsible for poverty.”
“Conservatives overgeneralize: From a few cases of poor persons who exploit the system, they draw sweeping conclusions about all poor persons.”
“Chance happenings play a much greater role in success or failure than conservatives realize. People often do not control their own destinies.”

Gettin' You Home (the Black Dress Song) lyrics
Tuxedo waiters, black ties
White tablecloths and red wine
We've been plannin' this night
Lookin' forward to it for some time
Honey, I know you love gettin' dressed up
And you know I love showin' you off
Watchin' your baby blue eyes
Dancin' in the candlelight glow
All I can think about is gettin' you home
Walkin' through the front door
Seein' your black dress hit the floor
Honey there sure ain't nothing
Like you lovin' me all night long
And all I can think about is gettin' you home
I don't need this menu, no I don't
I already know just what I want
Did I hear you right? Did you tell me
Go pay the waiter and let's leave?
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/chris-young-lyrics/gettin_-you-home-(the-black-dress-song)-lyrics.html]
Now honey, I know by that look in your eyes
And your hand drawin' hearts onto mine
That our night out of the house
Ain't gonna last too long
When all you can think about is gettin' me home
Walkin' through the front door
Seein' your black dress hit the floor
Honey there sure ain't nothing
Like you lovin' me all night long
And all I can think about is gettin' you home
Walkin' through the front door
Seein' your black dress hit the floor
Honey there sure ain't nothing
Like you lovin' me all night long
And all I can think about
All I can think about
All I can think about is gettin' you home

When you're writing working code nearly as fast as you can type and your misstep rate is near zero, it generally means you've achieved mastery of the language. But that didn't make sense, because it was still day one and I was regularly pausing to look up new language and library features!
This was my first clue that, in Python, I was actually dealing with an exceptionally good design. Most languages have so much friction and awkwardness built into their design that you learn most of their feature set long before your misstep rate drops anywhere near zero. Python was the first general-purpose language I'd ever used that reversed this process.

This caused me to examine and
re-examine the subject. I gave it a great deal
of thought ; I examined and studied it from every

side; indeed, it was seemingly present with me
continually. Often an idea about it would occur
to me which seemed to have force and make
perfect answer to some of the things that were
said and written about my actions. I never let
one of those ideas escape me, but wrote it on a
scrap of paper and put it in that drawer. In
that way I saved my best thoughts on the
subject, and, you know, such things often come
in a kind of intuitive way more clearly than if
one were to sit down and deliberately reason
them out.
"To save the results of such mental action
is true intellectual economy. It not only saves
time and labour, but also the very best material
the mind can supply for unexpected emer-
gencies. Of course, in this instance, I had to
arrange the material at hand, and adapt it to
the particular case presented. But that was an
easy task compared with what immediate original
composition of such a paper would have been.
