Whoever tried to put some flash object on some page encounter this famous flash internet explorer problem forcing the user to double clcik on the flash to get it activated.
Here is some fix for the problem:

function fixit(){
	theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
	for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) {
		theObjects[i].outerHTML = theObjects[i].outerHTML;
	}
}

Then call the function after you insert the flash object, just like that

Get yourself productive today

1. Identify outcome : not activity, outcome. What are you producing? What will be left once you finished doing what your are doing? Don’t do work for work, but identify clearly the result your are supposed to do. And get the shortest path to it.

2. Cut off interuption : close email, TV, radio, your phone, the people around, your thoughts of projects for tomorow – and focus on what do you need/want to produce know.

3. Take your time : Yes! This is being productive. Get yourself out of this illusion that by trying to finish this 4h work in 1h you save your time. You just burn your nerval system and the task doesn’t get done anyway. As rule, fuck off time prevision on how long it will take. If you need to do what your doing at all, then do it. Else do something else. It will take it will take, but heck, you need it or not. If you don’t then don’t spend even one extra second on this task.

4. Stop every hour, and check if you still to be doing what you are doing ? is it getting you closer to the thing you need to achieve. So that it will take you out of the thinking mode that you need to be doing anything. You need to produce an output – a coffea, a workplan, an article, a piece of software, master some kind of new competence, learn some new stuff. Focus on outcome – and do it regularly.

5.Once done, evaluate your objectives again, check out how this got you closer to your goals. And move forward.

The new economic model according to…

Very enjoyable video from sxephil

Humor aside, it is just one out many other people over the internet making out of nowhere a new economic model. As if economist didn’t know how to build an economic system. But the problem is not really with the system itself but really with people that make this system operate.

What ? Bank didn’t know they produced money that have only a financial value but no real connection to the reality ? Economists didn’t know that such a behaviour would lead the world to a global crisis ? For the past 10 years we have been producing money that have no real value, but a serie of number on a screen. Today, the amount of money that is supposed to be in world does not exist in the real world.

The lack of balance in this world economy is source of the crisis. The lack of balance come from our own incapacity to deal with our desir to possess.

Ashlag describe this crisis as the result of a lack of equilibrium with the laws of nature. Having the world have laws, so has our society. Not legal laws, but physical laws, laws that stem from our own nature, human nature. Human nature is desire to receive, Ashlag say. So if we don’t study the laws of the desir to receive to see how to stabilize its satisfaction, we end up in crisis.
