Sci-fi novel recommendations

Spotted this list of 32 highly recommended sci-fi novels over at How to split an atom in my Google reader yesterday.

Surprisingly, I have read quite a few of those on the list:

  • Foundation, by Isaac Asimov. (and the rest of the Foundation series)
  • Time machine, by H. G. Wells.
  • Animal farm, by George Orwell.
  • War of the worlds, by H. G. Wells.
  • I robot, by Isaac Asimov.
  • Ring world, by Larry Niven.
  • Dune, by Frank Herbert. (and all 3 books from the originally intended trilogy)
  • The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, by Douglas Adams (all except for the final book in the expanded trilogy)
  • 1984, by George Orwell.
  • Ender’s game, by Orson Scott Card. (and the rest of the Ender, Shadow series)

Mac DIY

Was trying to find information regarding the RAM for my particular model of G4 Powerbook because I planned to upgrade the puny amount of RAM (512MB in total, 256MB soldered) that came with the machine, and happened on the following DIY sites. Very helpful, I must say. As an example, here are illustrated guides for upgrading the RAM.

  1. Steps for RAM upgrade from ifixit
  2. Another guide from Macinstruct
  3. All you’d want to know about RAM for Powerbooks

Work smart

I am a firm believer that if anything it is always easier to change yourself than others. Well, this is really taking it to a different level. Instead of the old saying, “If you can’t beat them, join them.” this is even more innovative, don’t you think? 🙂

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
