The details of my life are quite inconsequential.. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

90% of your work is for less than %10 of your clients, whether your "clients" are internal or external to your organisation.

Sack these clients where ever possible, (when they are not 90% of your income).

You will be more productive, happier, and all your remaining clients will be happier as well.

basicplus2··on Vaccum-chamber quantum sensor device could allow GPS-free navigation
This reminds me of a spacecraft navigation system that employed an almost perfect sphere, that floated inside the centre of chamber that employed a detection system that corrected the spacecrafts direction to keep the sphere in the centre of the chamber. On the drawings it was referred to as the space crafts "consciousness"

Unfortunately i cannot find any reference to it anywhere.
