Who Gives a .... Anyway

So on the 26th of October 2012 Microsoft released hardware and software for their new Windows range I have been so excited about this release, since their first tablet was released just after XP in 2003. Their tablet version was great it had a fantastic new concept Inking. I used this extensively from 2003 until recently. It allows you use a computer for computer stuff and also have the ability to use it to replace your standard A4 pad of paper. With journal and one note and later Evernote I had a device that could finally replace paper. Except for two things: Size and portability. Even with small laptops from HP it was still too big It took too long to go in and out of sleep mode These two reasons was why I think the product from Apple suddenly became the gadget to have. Everything you can do on an iPad can be done on a standard Windows tablet, but you need to get past the turning on and lug-ability of the device. . So this is why I was excited to see the...

The Buddhists say we all have a purpose in life our or Dharma. This belief is a confusing one for me when looking at Buddhism. Most of the religion is about acceptance of all. Everything arriving is of the moment after all Zen is the epitome of Buddhism. This is what for me makes Dharma so un Zen. It seems to imply that we need to spend some of our life looking for our Dharma and then the rest of our life fulfilling it. I think you could spend your whole life looking for it. Never mind living it. Perhaps it is more of an acceptance that you are the one and only you (sorry Nic Kurshaw) and everyone Is the one and only them. Now that is a little more Zen.

Over a decade When I was doing financially well for myself. Having started a successful business my...

FROM:  Why Coding Style Matters | Smashing Coding Tools To Help Don’t be afraid of using tools to help enforce coding style. Web developers have an unprecedented number of tools at their fingertips today, and many of them can help ensure that a coding style guide is being followed. These range from command line tools that are run as part of the build, to plugins that work with text editors. Here are a few tools that can help keep your team on track: Eclipse Code Formatter The Eclipse IDE has built-in support for code formatting.

Worry is it worth it, or how to not worry Turning worry in to concern is what you would like to do with all worries, heatlh, wealth, love and life. Here are some thought I have gathered in understanding a Anxious part of my life, and how to get around it: William Janes quote; “When once a decision is reached and execution is the order of the day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the outcome” from MAD magazine An attitude we wish to adopt. To deal with worry: - gather facts objectively as if you are an outsider - use those facts when the thing you are worrying about actually happens. Action List - create a plan to stop worry From Gayland Richie: four questions to answer. You must write down and answer: 1. What am I worrying about? 2. What can I do about it?
