    Tip for Improving Focus

    Here's a tip I picked up a few months ago: try listening to white noise when working.

Note that not all 'white noise' is the same, white noise has a specific mathematical description...

    Murdoch on the Ropes

    News of the World shut down, now The Sunday Times and The Sun implicated in phone hacking too. No way in hell will he get B Sky B now. Just saw his New York biographer on the news claim it could be the end for him. Interesting times.

    Goddamn Katy Perry

    Heard this fucking song on the radio the other day and can't get it out of my bloody head. It's not that bad, just not what I'd ever want to be heard humming. Good excuse to check out this video though... YouTube - Katy Perry ~ E.T. (with lyrics)

    Need something to help my productivity

    Anyone know of any programs on the Mac that can block all but certain sites for defined periods? I procrastinate or get distracted far too easily and would really benefit from being able to block all but the sites I'm working on for an hour or so at a time. I mainly use firefox. Anyone know...

    Anyone with experience of Rackspace Cloud or offer a suggestion?

    Would you recommend? I've used their dedis before and they were great (but v.expensive). Just wondering if anyone had a view on their cloud services.

    This could be a very dumb question, but I'll openly admit I'm a newb at the adserving/media buying end of IM. I'm wondering how Fetchback do what they describe on the page linked. Essentially they are a retargeting agency that allows a single 'super' cookie to be used to behaviourally...

    Liberal

    Just curious, as the word seems to have an entirely different meaning in the US to Europe- what does it mean to be, or to call someone, a liberal in the US? It often seems to be thrown around as someone who is pro-social justice, and government, which traditionally would be a position far from...
