You cant be free even if you go to the toilet

Another Google's innovation - Testing on the toilet.

I guess we all do it, when we are away from work, our mind relaxes and fresh ideas germinate. But to spread it corporate-wide, as a culture - that needs some guts. Personally, I do palming to cool down my eyes after sitting so long in front of the monitor, when I am "there". I also try to relax and keep my mind blank for some time. Sure enough, it has a good effect.

This is actually pretty cool. The NY Java Sig has been meeting at Google's office for about a half year. I always looked forward to reading these. Had to make a point of going to the toilet at the sig . I think it's great they are making these available to the public.

Okay, I should have explained. Here it is.
It is called the Bates method.

That's really useful, I suffer from eye-strain a lot. I'm going to start using that. Thanks!


Pounding at a thick stone wall won't move it, sometimes, you need to step back to see the way around.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
