Training the Mind -- The Leader's Way, Chapter 3

Why do we want to train our mind?

The purpose of training your mind is to

1. Be clam, collected, and concentrated all the time (especially when making decision).
2. Enable the mind to analyze things quickly.

Training your mind to the perfection is too difficult. So you should aim at steady progress.

Commonly Used Windows Shortcuts

Are you using Windows 7? Do you perfer keyboards to mouse? If you do, you might want to read on.

I am a Windows user, and I hate to take my hands off the keyboards. I love shortcuts. I am quite happy that Zia Munshi compiled and published 20 commonly used short-cut on Windows website. In fact, I learned it from Windows Weekly Show with Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott. Feel free to check their websites out.

Assistance and Ethics

How much help is too much?

Recently, I've received and seen quite a bit of emails asking for help. I understand the frustration. I was there, frustrated of not knowing what to do. But some of the questions went a bit overboard.
While I am willing to help, you've gotta help yourself too. Here are the questions that I don't think I will be able to comment on

• I want to implement this protocol. Please send me the code.
• I don't know what's wrong with the code. Can you help debugging my codes?

If the help you needed is one of the above, I might not be your best resource.

Synaptics: Disabling touch page, gestures, and more

Are you using a laptop? Does your laptop has a TouchPad? Does the TouchPad messup with your typing rhythm? If so, read on.

Accidental Touch on a TouchPad: What's an annoyance

I've got a new Fujitsu S6420 few months ago. This is a nice laptop. The size is compact. It is easy to carry around. But because of its compactness, the touch pad is so close to keyboard. While typing my thumb would accidentally touch the touch pad. The cursor position would change and mess up my typing. I am kindda guy who don't like taking my hand off the keyboard. So, I get really annoyed when my hand accidentally touch the keypad.

Classifiers: A Multi-Target Packet Forwarder

Note: This is a detailed note for the book, Introduction to Network Simulator NS2. You may have to read chapter 6 of the book for better understanding.

Introduction
This post is a sequel of the previous post, which demonstrated the relationship of classifiers, routing modules, and nodes:

• What are they, their purposes, their relationship,
• How to configure them conceptually, and
• Using $ns node, how a default classifier, namely “classifier_”, is created and put in a node.
• Putting a routing modules rtnotif_ and ptnotif_ in a node using "$ns node"

Taking The Right View -- The Leader's Way, Chapter 1

"Right view relates to the intention behind the decision. Right conduct refers to the quality of actions."

Right View

Right view is based on three following facts:

1. Having right intention
2. Understanding cause-effect law
3. Having right state of mind

Having right intention is to think about self and others: not self, not other, but both self and others.

How to Read My Book

At the beginning, there was frustration.

First of all, I would like to thanks everyone for purchasing the NS2 book. The book was motivated by my frustration when I learned NS2 a long time ago. I guess everyone would at one time share that frustration with me. NS2 is a great tool. It has numerous modules.
Unfortunately, it does not have enough good documentation. With that, I began writing the book in order to help you guys get started with NS2. I appreciate everyone coming to this website, and every comment that you have on the book. Again, thank you.

What’s in This Post

So far, what we have looks like the figure below. In the previous post, I discussed how the blue block (classifier_) is inserted in to a node.



This post focuses on how two yellow blocks are placed into a node.

[BookReview] THE Leader's Way: Business, Buddhism and happiness in an interconnected world by His Holyiness The Dalai Lama and Laurens Van Den Muyzenberg

At first glace, business and religion seem to live in different world. But, in fact, both share the common purpose. They both seek happiness.  

The main idea of this book is to apply right view and right conduct to the free market world. The book consists of three parts. Part one focuses on a personal level. It presents the meaning of right view and right conduct that a leader should have, and instructs how one can train his/her mind in busy daily life. Part two moves on to what role leaders should play in an organization. Finally, Part three discusses the right role of the organization in our society.

Text-to-speech and Audiobook

Texts are in a book. Speech is a form of audio. When we convert text to speech, we should get an audiobook, right? Not quite!! In fact, text-to-speed and audiobook are quite different.
