“An Ancient Piece of Computer Lore in a Place You’d Never Expect” or “Dungeon (Zork) Map in Duplicity” | Porkrind Dot Org Missives
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/27
More than 2 years ago, I wrote about InfoCom adventures before, and recently noticed that since then a Zork map I saw like 30 years ago is now online in a digital scanned version.
Cool!
Thanks David Caldwell for putting it online.

I didn’t know there even was a Zork User group (:

Programmer Interrupted: Chris Parnin on the how/why/effects/preventions of interruption
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/10/09
About 9 months ago, Chris Parnin – a student on the empirical, hci, and cognitive neuroscience aspects of software development – wrote a great blog entry named Programmer Interrupted.
He writes a ton of information about the how, why and effects of interruptions, which not only affects programmers, but any power user or life hacker. His article has a great number of links to insightful articles with background information (one of the first, Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule, helped me so much to explain my planning to other people).
I set aside a couple of hours to read and grasp some of it, and plan to read the content links he refers in more detail.
Recommended reading!
