It’s all in the switching time — Why multitasking is a farce
Summary: Computers have little overhead when it comes to switching tasks. Humans don’t. We take too much time moving things from long-term storage back to short-term memory.

Minor site update
I’ve added a lightbox view for photos now. I’ve back-updated several entries as well. You can now click on the images and get a neat effect. This makes viewing images more neutral than on the current background, especially for the contrast — highlights and shadows are perceived better by the eye. It’s like the best of both worlds. I get to keep the easier to read dark text on light background and also have a dark background for viewing photos.
