Re:If You're Too Busy to Meditate, Read This on Saturday October 13, 2012 @07:37AM (#4648382)
I've been meditating pretty much every day for a few months now, and the thing that got me into it was getsomeheadspace.com

I've found it incredibly helpful - having a different guided meditation to do on the train every day makes the London commute, whilst not blissful, certainly better.

Very small point.

Nowhere does the article state that any Canadians have ever been to the moon.

Re:Bye-bye kindle on Friday May 29, 2009 @08:28AM (#631925)
I haven't looked into this for a while - but isn't one of the advantages of the Kindle the ecosystme that surrounds it - in the same way that the iPod is not just an mp3 player - i.e. the iTunes ecosystem?
well one of the first robots that i saw one of these guys build does pretty much exactly that - so worth getting in touch - they know about where to get all the parts, pre-packaged kits and all kinds of stuff
these guys meet up regularly in my town (Brighton, UK). Might be worth talking to some of them via the forums: http://robotbrighton.ning.com/

fluffyemily on twitter runs the group so she might be of some help too.

I know this is getting off topic, but the original Monkey Island handled it beautifully

localized versions? Are there any domains like .in which mean "in" in other languages?

They moved on to http://socialbrowse.com
i don't seem to get the popups :(
I tried it, and it wouldn't let me as it had been tested too much in the last 24 hours
I agree, it seems to me that like many things in life, the answer lies between the extremes
Very small point, but equity is mentioned
Re:Ask HN: Goal Setting Software on Thursday January 29, 2009 @08:07AM (#456282)
yeah, i haven't tried that myself, but I don't think it would improve my current situation that much...
Re:Ask HN: Goal Setting Software on Thursday January 29, 2009 @06:35AM (#456204)
Just to further clarify what I want, I like to break tasks down so that I'm constantly working on the "Next possible logical step" no matter how small.

Most of the time I just write them in a list in a text editor, but then i get to the point where i need to clear out my scratchpad - thus losing track of my progress.

Obviously seeing my progress in a chart/graph is not necessary to get stuff done but it might help with motivation :)

Ask HN: Goal Setting Software

Hey people,Does anyone know of any good web based software out there that allows me to keep track of goals and the stuff I need to do to make them?I used to use todo lists, but they're not quite what I'm looking for. I want something more along the lines of a roadmap, kind of what Trac has if anyone has used that...Cheerskev_the_dev
