On Intelligence
December 27th, 2008
I’ve found an interesting video. In the 20 minutes this video lasts Jeff Hawkins presents his theory of intelligence, which is very interesting in my opinion. I think, Jeff Hawkins might have discovered one very important piece in the puzzle of understanding the human brain.
If you are interested further in this topic you may want to read the book “On Intelligence” by Jeff Hawkins. I did not do this, yet, but I will surely do so in the future. There is also a website belonging to this book: www.onintelligence.org

I’ve written two small Haskell modules and published them here.
Cursor acceleration under Mac OS X
December 15th, 2008
I’ve bought recently a Macbook Pro and was very annoyed by the cursor acceleration of Mac OS X: Either the mouse cursor was moving very slowly or (if you moved the mouse faster) jumped nearly from one screen edge to another.
Luckily I could solve this problem now. You can download a file name “killmouseaccel.tar.gz” from this forum thread (somewhere in the middle). It contains the program killmouseaccel. You have to start it from a terminal:
/path/to/killmouseaccel mouse
Instead of “mouse” you can also specify “trackpad” or even both. For me this program works very well and it is free unlike most other solutions (e.g. USBOverdrive or SteerMouse).
