Comment GTD / David Allen (Score 1) 352

The algorithms and architectures found in code help you manage workflow and data. You'll need those same skills in other areas of your life so you can be effective. IMHO - the best book for figuring out how to handle time and mental energy is "Getting Things Done" (GTD) by David Allen. Here is the best summary I've found for condensing the book's 288 pages down into less than 4000 words.

Someone will post videos from the changing room at a gym and get sued.
An employee will sue after being fired when management jacks into the camera on the company issued goggles to observe them and sees something risque.

How Does a 9/80 Work Schedule Work Out? 1055

cellocgw writes "My company is in the process of implementing a version of '9/80,' a work schedule that squeezes 80 hours' labor time into 9 business days and provides every other Friday off. I was wondering how this has been implemented in other companies, and how it's worked out for other Slashdot readers. Is your system flexible? Do you find time to get personal stuff done during the week? Is Friday good for anything other than catching up on lost sleep? And perhaps most important, do your managers respect the off-Fridays, or do they pull people in on a regular basis to handle 'crises?'"

The 3 digit "security number" at the end of your credit card number is probably on the back of your card where you sign your name. (Or at the end of and above your numbers on your MasterCard.)

Asking for this is a "good thing" because this additional set of numbers is typically harder for crackers to acquire than the digits on the front of your card.
