all you need to know about …

.htaccess

(Assuming youre running apache – if not, verify what your server is running with Netcraft)
And dont forget to read the documentation of htaccess by the maker of the webserver, The Apache Foundation. And their authorisation tutorial. Very handy.
Create your htpasswds here, if you dont have shell access.

And last, but not least, askapache, with loads of examples.
This is rather good, too.

Saw this about Guice, a dependency injection implmentation. Its a pattern.

Dependency injection is an expression coined in Martin Fowler’s article Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection Pattern.

... so says Jakob Jenkov ...
Hmm. Patterns, patterns, patterns.

TVA - Theory of Visual Attention

“... theory of visual attention (TVA), which assumes four separable attentional components: processing speed, working memory storage capacity, spatial distribution of attention, and top-down control. ”

From the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society

A full article referring to TVA, about “Parameter-based assessment of spatial and non-spatial attentional deficits in Huntington’s disease”.

And the original paper from 1998, “A Computational Theory of Visual Attention”

Cognitive Psychology – great pdf giving an idea of the breadth of the subject. Having Adult ADHD myself, anything cognitive and psychological is interesting material.
