Simplicity In the Age Of The GUI

evenprime writes: "Wired is running a story on Mark Hurst's extremely retro GoodEasy computing environment, and how it's old fashioned *nix approach to computing -- flat text, small simple programs that can be chained together -- increases user productivity" It's an interesting, hyper-simple approach, though any user outside of Mark's agency would have to apply some creative adaption. Every few months, I try to re-organize and simplify the documents and programs on my system, this looks like a good experiment for the next time.

We can just think about how horrible this tragedy is for 24/7 and get all bent out of shape (like the terrorists want to), or we can calmly multitask and cover other issues of the day as well as thinking about the World Trade Center being airplane bombed. We can't let them stop our way of life.

I'm not trying to say that everything will be the same as before, because it won't. It will never be business as usual again. But we also cn't freak about this.
