Via Pete, 17 Articles and Some Notes on Sleep and Napping: "In order to get up to speed with some of the finer yet important details on sleep and napping, I did a little online research. The idea is that in order to get the most from life, training and recovery, a person needs to be well rested. My objective is to find a sleep strategy that allows me to get the most "bang for my buck" in terms of hours spent sleeping."

Very interesting. I've started getting up a bit earlier over the last few months in an attempt to fit more things into the day (like running regularly) and squeeze more out of the average day. Hmm - where at FP towers can I find a suitable location for a lunchtime nap, I wonder...

Why are mobile application sales dropping?: "the developers I talk to are not Java houses making simple add-ons like games and ringtones. There are anecdotal reports that sales of those are going pretty well. What I'm talking about is sales of more substantial applications, generally written to run native on the device's operating system. If the phone is becoming a multimedia computer, as some vendors claim, sales of these more sophisticated applications ought to be booming."

So sales of complex applications for mobile devices are stalling, whilst those of simpler ones are doing well.

Ninjas needed: "Extras needed for the next Brighton Wok film shoot - we need martial arts trained fighters to star in the largest fight scene in Brighton Wok so far. If you’ve been waiting for your chance to star, fight and die in this film then this is it!"

How Long Would It Take if Everything Went Wrong?: "While it's impossible to give a perfect estimate, it's a good idea to start with the worst case scenario and extrapolate backwards to the best case."

Finding bugs with FindBugs: "However, there's a class of development tool that can also be used to root out bugs before they happen, and that's a static code analysis tool. In contrast to dynamic analysis, which involves looking at code that's running, static analysis focuses on source or object code (byte code in the Java world).
One such tool is FindBugs, which analyses Java byte code to flag potential errors."
