Did you find the ”concentrate to what you’re holding” way to zen by yourself, or have you been taught these techniques? I’m asking because it’s precisely one of the techniques mindfulness experts speak of: to concentrate on your sensations of your surroundings or a specific part of it.

Doch, Björk on nimenomaan poppia eikä sellaisena juurikaan pyri kappaleissaan sellaiseen monotonisuuteen kuin mitä minä enimmäkseen kuuntelen.

Pitääkö tarkastajalle näyttää henkkarit? Mitä jos niitä ei ole mukana? Mitä jos valehtelee henkilöllisyytensä?

(Ei sillä että kannustaisin sellaiseen, tuli vain mieleen.)

Itsehän olen sitä mieltä, että vasta seitsemän minuutin kohdalla aletaan puhua kokonaisista kappaleista. Miellän sitä lyhyemmät kaupallisista syistä, kuten MTV:llä esittämistä tai radiosoittoa varten editoiduiksi.

I try to do my bit of keeping the web fluent by minimizing the amount of link rot affecting my own site. This means keeping track of local 404’s and fixing them, as well as manually updating broken external URL references I come across.

I’ve seen redirects suggested as one solution to combat link rot. When all links point to local redirect addresses (such as example.com/?r=123456), the actual target URL can be kept in a database and updated throughout the site in one place in the face of link rot.

However, on the user side I generally dislike redirect systems myself, as they make picking up the actual target URL’s somewhat cumbersome (have a look at the title links on a Google search results page for example).

Then again, maybe I’ve used sites that do employ redirects but do it transparently enough for me not to even notice.

Is a transparent (or nearly-so) redirect system at all possible? Are such systems available already, or should I roll my own?

Also, I’d be interested to hear if there are other major cons in utilizing redirects. So far, the user annoyance I mentioned above has been enough to keep me from planning ahead with this technique.

According to upstream this has been fixed in Gnome 3.0.

Mitähän tuo kartta oikein mahtaa kuvata? En ole keskimääräistä tyhmempi, ja kun en kuvan tarkoitusta ymmärrä, ehdotan, että siihen lisätään jonkin sortin selite.

As I reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/524497

There’s a usability issue with the login screen’s panel being at the bottom of the screen. It should be at the top, or at the very least the elements that are present in both the login screen and the desktop (the clock and shutdown menu) should be positioned consistently. It’s very confusing as it stands, with the clock and the shutdown function jumping from the bottom of the login screen to the top of the desktop screen when we log in.

Either the top of the screen is the accessibility-wise better place for these elements, in which case they should be there *during the login screen also*, or it isn’t, in which case they shouldn’t be there when we get to the desktop *either*. They shouldn’t be in one place on one screen, in another place on another screen.

Do you know of a way to move the elements around on the login screen? Specifically I’d like to move the bottom panel to the top.

I’ve actually reported this as a bug on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/524497#) and even tried fiddling with the greeter’s source code myself, but it was just useless guesswork with my non-existent GTK knowledge.
