Skype has also been plagued with billing issues. I had a subscription years ago, that bank card is now expired. I cancelled the subscription, years ago.. as soon as Microsoft bought Skype, I started getting emails saying my card was declined, with no recourse, no way to cancel the subscription they tried to start up on me again...

Mega Finds New Home, Dotcom Says 115

hypnosec writes "Kim Dotcom has revealed that Megaupload's successor, Mega, which is reportedly launching on January 20, 2013, will be operating through a new domain name: Mega.co.nz. Through a tweet Dotcom announced that Mega has found a new home and that the new domain name is protected by the law. Dotcom also revealed that lobbyists won't be able to do anything about this, as 'judges are not influenced by politics in New Zealand.' Recent announcements about Mega's domain — Me.ga — didn't go as planned following a decision by the Government of Gabon to suspend the domain name. Dotcom had announced at the time that despite the blockage, Mega would launch as planned."

Hobbit Pub Saved By Actors Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen 169

Fluffeh writes "Recently the Hobbit Pub in England was sued for rights infringement, but it seems Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen are going to re-pony-up the cash to keep the pub alive. Landlady Stella Roberts said she had been shocked by the actors' offer. She said: 'I had a telephone call on Saturday evening, while we were trading, from Stephen Fry's business partner and manager. That's when he told me. I was very shocked. They've said as soon as they finish filming they would like to come down and visit the pub.' However Ms Roberts said she was not celebrating just yet. She added: 'Until everything is in black and white, on paper, we're going to be a bit reserved because it could be $100 this year and $20,000 next year.'"

3.) Energy-drinks / sugary snacks nearby. Gotta keep the brain fueled up.

You mentioned energy drinks... I would like to add if I drink an energy drink on an empty stomach, I feel horrible from the sugar crash... Eating protein before and after helps me balance out...

Also, eat something healthy for breakfast... fruit is great because it's easily digested and takes minimal time to prepare! If you neglect your health now, you will pay for it later. I also gave myself kidney stones drinking 3+ energy drinks a day, they're not kidding when they say they're unhealthy! =)

At least not until the days work is done. Or you don't have any work the next day, depending on the person. Keeping your system clean definitely helps if you have to transition back from home employment to outside employment... It's a lot easier to pass a drug test if there isn't anything in your system... =)

Comment Pomodoro Technique (Score 1) 480

Try checking out the Pomodoro Technique... the basics of it are you set a 25 minute timer, work for 25 minutes uninterrupted, set a 5 minute timer and take a 5 minute break, after the 4th work session ("Pomodoro"), you take a longer break (15-30 minutes)...

This has helped my focus by having planned lack of focus moments... =) Hope this helps...
