6 lois à connaître pour mieux organiser son temps de travail
Nous avons beau rédiger nos planning en heures de travail, nous sommes forcés de constater qu’une heure de travail ne ressemble pas à une autre. Outre la nature de l’activité, plusieurs facteurs entrent en jeu : le stress, le plaisir, l’apprentissage, l’enrichissement personnel que l’on en tire, le niveau d’énergie, la frustration ou l’insatisfaction.

The Ups & Downs: How Startup Life is Like a Rollercoaster
This guest post is written by Mark Fabian Henkel (@mrkhnkl) Co-founder and CEO of Paymill, a young startup that offers the fastest and easiest way to integrate credit and debit card payments in websites and mobile applications. I sometimes wonder why Start-up CEOs or other entrepreneurs are not committing suicide more often. Just kidding! But honestly who can stand this rollercoaster without any injuries? The answer is simple: It is the belief in success, the confidence in a happy ending that keeps everybody working on his dream – somewhat similar to gold-diggers. But what exactly is the rollercoaster? You sit in the car, front seat of course, and you accelerate. Just like in a real rollercoaster, there’s this short moment of perceived invulnerability – just before the car runs down again, you see the loop approaching and start to feel sick. And the free-fall, you know that special moment in a rollercoaster-ride shortly before the end.

How to sail around the world for free: Five ways to live the dream
You don't have to be a wealthy yacht owner to sail into the sunset. CNN takes a look at five ways to travel the globe for free. Many private yacht owners offer free food and board for volunteer crew members. "It's not necessary to have sailing qualifications, it's more important to have the right attitude," said Kylie Gretener of findacrew.net. When 84-year-old Alaskan Jo Ryman Scott (pictured) and her 86-year-old husband, Dick, joined a yacht in Greece recently, they had no previous sailing experience.

Setting Up Tomcat For Remote Debugging - WG: Programmer's Cafe
Tomcat can be configured to allow a program such as eclipse to connect remotely using JPDA and see debugging information. (powerpoint presentation) To configure tomcat to allow remote debugging, start tomcat using the catalina startup script (from your tomcat home) instead of the normal startup script like so (tomcat must be stopped before you can change over): WIN: We recommend adding this stuff to your startup script so that you are always running tomcat in debug mode. Open the startup script in (your_tomcat_home)/bin (WIN: startup.bat, UNIX: startup.sh) Add the following lines at the first blank line in the file (around line 8) WIN: UNIX: Change the execute line at the end to include jpda start WIN: UNIX: Run the startup script when starting tomcat to run tomcat in debug mode If you're concerned about opening up the known port for debugging, you can change the port on which JPDA listens by setting the JPDA_ADDRESS environment variable to something else (e.g. 38000).

Lima’s $1.2M KickStarter joins the Top 10 most funded campaigns. What’s next?
Yesterday evening at 7:00PM, French startup Forgetbox wrapped up their 60-day KickStarter campaign for their flagship product Lima, which was looking to crowdfund $69,000. They surpassed that goal – in fact, they did it in less than 24 hours. In the 59 days that followed, they managed to crowdfund an additional $1,160,074 from a total of 12,840 backers. As of today, Lima becomes the 6th most-funded technology project on KickStarter, behind well-known companies like the Oculus Rift & LIFX, and ahead of (that is, more total crowdfunding) SmartThings, a major player in the Internet of Things industry. “Each one of our devices is good on their own, but nobody ever bothered to make them work together.” The product that they crowdfunded is innovating in the network attached storage(NAS) space; however, you won’t hear the team use this term once in their video. What happened from Day 2 to Day 60? Pulling the Plug on ‘Plug’ & the origins of ‘Lima’ Is crowdfunding a fading trend? What happens next?
