An interesting aside on the practical implications of trying to get things done in today's multi-communication channel, always-on environment. Includes the neat idea: "When possible, I group all calls (conference, group or otherwise), meetings and anything where I’m not actively working, back-to-back or generally very close to each other. This way, my day isn’t broken up into little chunks. I can focus and produce effectively without having to worry about a call disrupting my workflow. This is a little harder when you’re handling many things at once and clients have their own schedules, but generally I aim to have them grouped." I really hate having my day broken up into chunks. I like to get my head down and get on with things, without the lingering alarm bell on the horizon telling me that I have to be somewhere. That's how I get my best work done.

Fascinating and almost comprehensible discussion of failures in often expensive software in the area of image scaling. "Technically speaking, the problem is that "the computations are performed as if the scale of brightnesses was linear while in fact it is an exponential scale." In mathematical terms: "a gamma of 1.0 is assumed while it is 2.2.""
