Jury duty
Jury duty
06/09/2004 07:35 AMOff to jury duty this morning. I recognize it as a civic duty, but
that doesn't mean I want to do it. I've got a bunch of uncivic things
I'd rather do instead (like live up to my obligations to my clients,
work on a book, blog, play Zuma...). I have mixed feelings, but
please-don't-choose-me seems to be beating it'd-be-fascinating by
about 2:1....

On the avoidance of harm...
On the avoidance of harm...
03/13/2003 10:16 AMThere's some fascinating stuff around about the relationship of
depressive illness to strategies of harm avoidance:
Clinical depression is associated with two modulations
occurring simultaneously and chronically, dysphoria and the
generalized stress response. Dysphoria is a modulation that is part of
the harm perception/avoidance axis. This is an emotion we all feel
when we perceive a futility in our current behavior and experience
disappointment. In contrast, we experience anger and aggression when
the disappointment is perceived as being caused by an external source.
When the disappointment causes dysphoria, the modulation shift
increases behavioral inhibition, increases anticipation of harm,
increases harm avoidance, increases introspection, decreases
exploration of the environment, decreases reactivity to external
stimuli, decreases appetite for food and decreases sexual
appetite.
In short, it coordinates functions that allow us to retreat,
introspect and to redirect our efforts in a more effective direction.
In this instance, dysphoria facilitates adaptation to disappointment.

I like that. Dysphoria faciliates adaptation to
disappointment. Lots of interesting things fall out of
investigations like these, but this sense of harm avoidance is the one
that interests me most - that the depressive personality and the
introverted personality are heavily connected. That the wallflower
reacts to disappointment, attributed internally. Fascinating
stuff.

08/20/2004 08:05 AM
By detecting and processing electrical activity from
lightning strikes, the Insight StrikeFinder helps pilots to avoid
dangerous weather that can turn a small aircraft into a aluminum
coffin. Compiling and interpolating data from thousands of strikes
"gleaned from the background noise," the StrikeFinder lets pilots
determine if that impending storm cloud is really as dangerous as it
might seem, preventing unnecessary detours that might take them
unnecessarily off course.
The StrikeFinder is available in two models - the new model with an
ultra-bright LED display can be had for just $4,700, while the
original models are a relative bargain at $3,900. (Thanks, Rob!)

Wired News Discovers The Tools Of
Registration Avoidance
Wired News Discovers The Tools Of
Registration Avoidance
07/20/2004 11:16 AMWe've explained over and over again why newspapers that think they
need to force users to register to view their paper are making a big
mistake. They're shrinking their ad inventory, pissing off the
readers they do have and
getti
ng dirty useless data on the registrations they are getting.
While many newspapers claim that their audience levels have reached
the same levels as they were before they put in registration,
shouldn't that make them wonder how big they would be if they had no
registration at all? Instead of registrations, shouldn't they be
looking to
give
their readers something of value? Anyway, for those of us who
read an awful lot of news sites and get constantly hung up by annoying
registration required sites, Wired News has put together an article of
tools
people use to get around registrations. Most regular news surfers
probably use all of these pretty frequently, but they include services
like BugMeNot and Mailinator, both of which I find myself using on a
daily basis. Obviously, the decision is up to the sites themselves if
they want to include registration, but it shows a decided lack of
understanding of what makes the web work.

Office 2003 Tool: Local Installation
Source Tool
05/28/2004 01:48 AMThe Local Installation Source Tool is a wizard to help manage your
Local Installation Source (LIS) on computers running Microsoft Office
2003. The LIS Tool allows you to enable or disable LIS, and to move
the MsoCache folder to a new volume. This download is intended for use
by customers and network administrators with LIS issues who contact
Microsoft Product Support Services.
Local Installation Source is a Setup feature. When a user installs
Microsoft Office 2003 from a CD or a compressed CD image on the
network, Setup copies any required installation files to a hidden
folder on the local computer. Microsoft Windows Installer uses this
local installation source to install Office, and the local source
remains available for repairing, reinstalling or updating Office later
on. Users can install features on demand or run Setup in maintenance
mode to add new features without their original media.

Double duty at home
Double duty at home
09/10/2004 02:43 PMMy wife (Carolyn) just had knee surgery to repair a torn medial
meniscus, so I'll be doing double-duty at home for a while to make
sure she can take it easy. As a result, I'm going to be slower
replying to blog comments, email and forum messages for a few
days.
Carolyn had her first physical therapy session this morning, and
she's doing very well so far. I had the same surgery a few years back
and remember recovering very quickly, and thankfully it looks like her
recovery will also be quick.
