Screenshot Captor / Comments on ScreenshotCaptor - Beta Version - 2.12.01 to 2.24.01
« Last post by mouser on September 19, 2006, 06:35 AM »
v2.21.02 BETA released.

This version has the long requests non-automatic save option (See On Capture tab).
This is still a bit experimental so use with caution:
when you enable this option, each new capture will not automatically be saved (unless you modify it), so new images will overwrite old until you save.

It should speed up captures significantly, but you have to be careful you dont take 10 captures in a row in this mode without saving and then open up the window to find only your last capture has been kept.

I look forward to hearing your impressions of this new mode and whether you find it useful.

(note: i've started locking the update threads so please post impressions on a separate thread).

v1.10.02 was just uploaded.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EARLY BETA AND UPDATES MAY BE FORTHCOMING THIS WEEK, SO WAIT UNLESS YOU WANT TO HELP TEST.

It's also just a minor release - i'm reluctant to add major stuff while i'm still fighting with myself over v2 design, but i will try to tinker and experiment around the edges with farr v1 so that i don't forget about it.

« Last post by mouser on September 19, 2006, 03:49 AM »
house i know you wont be surprised when i point you to wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback

the most common definition i know of is that a trackback is used to keep track of people who link to a blog story.

so your blog will be notified when other people refer to your blog story, and keep a list of such referals so that you can easily see who links to your stories.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Setting a short delay for pasting into an active window?
« Last post by mouser on September 19, 2006, 03:43 AM »
the new beta version tries to do superfast paste now;
JEdwardP i think perhaps the solution is not to try to trigger a paste and then quickly switch to target window, but rather to FIRST click in target window, then bring up chs and tell it to send a clip to last active window.

you can install over old version, i always do.
thebat has a history of frequent beta updates, and occasionally buggy updates.
in general i wait a week or so between updates before installing beta versions.

as far as major updates, they went from v2 to v3 very rapidly, which upset a lot of users, but they've been on v3 for quite a while now.

Living Room / Nice blog essays on Fixing Peer Reviews and Collaborative Research
« Last post by mouser on September 19, 2006, 12:54 AM »
I've been reading http://hunch.net/ for their take on machine learning articles but they've been posting some nice essays recently on the underlying frameworks for reviewing papers, etc.


Reviewing is a fairly formal process which is integral to the way academia is run. Given this integral nature, the quality of reviewing is often frustrating. I’ve seen plenty of examples of false statements, misbeliefs, reading what isn’t written, etc…, and I’m sure many other people have as well.

Recently, mechanisms like double blind review and author feedback have been introduced to try to make the process more fair and accurate in many machine learning (and related) conferences. My personal experience is that these mechanisms help, especially the author feedback. Nevertheless, some problems remain.

The game theory take on reviewing is that the incentive for truthful reviewing isn’t there. Since reviewers are also authors, there are sometimes perverse incentives created and acted upon. (Incidentially, these incentives can be both positive and negative.)

Setting up a truthful reviewing system is tricky because their is no final reference truth available in any acceptable (say: subyear) timespan. There are several ways we could try to get around this.

Developer's Corner / Blog Essay: Important Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each Other
« Last post by mouser on September 18, 2006, 03:39 AM »
Important Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each Other
Nice essay.

One thing I have learned in my experience with startups is that if you are not careful, you are as likely to experience as many challenges with your co-founder(s) as you are with the business itself.   The following are some of the most important questions that should be resolved as early in the process as possible.  In most cases, these issues only get more difficult over time...
1.  How should we divide the  shares? ..
2.  How will decisions get made?  ..
3.  What happens if one of us leaves the company?  ..
4.  Can any of us be fired?  By whom?  For what reasons?  .. 
5.  What are our personal goals for the startup?  .. 
6.  Will this be the primary activity for each of us?  ..
7.  What part of our plan are we each unwilling to change?  ..
8.  What contractual terms will each of us sign with the company?  ..
9.  Will any of us be investing cash in the company?  If so, how is this treated?  ..
10.  What will we pay ourselves?  Who gets to change this in the future?

as you say i dont think GTD has a real counterpart to DIT's notion of WILL DO lists.  as you say, forster advocates having a list for the day that respresents a real commitment of what you WILL do that day, which i like.

I think one of the issues that keeps coming up here is managing projects that dont have such simple discrete single-action tasks.  i think this is definitely worth asking more about, and forster clearly has thought about it as his discussion on tricks to making progress against the resistence of this stuff shows.

as nudone suggests, there is surely an element of novelty that helps all new systems work at the begining, like diets.  but most quickly lose their power, so it definitely taks some practice to see which ones hold up over time.
