Lots of Links

I found a couple links. This first one is a blog post on Ego Development (I found it through a Lifehacker post though). It's titled "10 Exercises for Better Focus and Concentration." I read the post and it is very good. I am not sure, exactly how or why these tricks would make you concentrate better, but I can see how you would pay attention more to detail. Either way, it couldn't hurt to try it. Right? Another one, on the subject of tests and concentrating, is a post from Degree Directory titled "How to Cram for a College Exam." Although the title may be limiting, I am sure it could work for any test. Although, in some testing situations, cramming might not be the best, the sleep might be more important, otherwise you might not be able to focus. But check them out anyways.

Prism. Perfect name for it's, almost, perfect program. Prism is from Mozilla Labs and is great.

"Prism now provides a cross-platform way to integrate the web platform with the desktop environment, and developers don’t have to lift a finger to desktop-enable their web applications, while users have the choice to use their favorite web apps in their browser, on their desktop of choice, or in both places."

It is now a prototype downloadable for Mac and Linux, whereas previously it was only available for Windows. So YEAH for all you other users out there. It is really really REALLY useful. It's used like a browser window, but for a specific website. For example, one that only opens to Facebook. You can do everything you could with a regular browser window (except navigate back and forth, and no tabs either) while not doing it on your browser. Instead of having to open up your browser and then finding the site, either through bookmarks, or god forbid typing it, and going that way; Prism skips the middleman and goes straight to the website in question. It's great. The only thing I have a problem with (besides the ones in parenthesis above) is that I will soon have too many to keep track of, and, it could just be me, but I don't know how to get icons. It could be that I am using an older version, but I really have no idea how to get a specific favicon to go with the webpage I want to open.

So that's it for today.
