Ricky Buchanan replied on September 07, 2009 20:25 to the question "Can I break the one hour into 2 half hours or 4 15 minute sessions a day?" in Posit Science:

Due to severe ME/CFS I only have a few hours a day when I am functional, and the most I can manage per day is two 15 minute practices - which lets me do half of a regular "session".


Am I best to pause the program on each exit and tell it I'll be back, so I spend two days doing each BFP "session" or to skip the final two exercises of each "session" so I'm doing just half of each session? Or does it not really matter?


I've been pausing the program so I complete each "session" before I start the next one, even if it takes me 2-3 days, but it's occured to me that it might be better in terms of brain plasticity to do the basic exercises (The sweeps and Tell Us Apart) almost each day and then come back and do the more advanced exercises with words/sentences in a few months.


If there's likely to be little or no difference in outcomes, I'll probably stay with my current method as it lets me do more varied exercises but I'm very motivated to see if the BFP can help with my ME/CFS related "brainfog" so even if it's more monotonous I'll stick with it.

How can I best use 30 minutes a day of BFP?.

Ricky Buchanan asked a question in BackType on September 07, 2009 04:52:

Does the Wordpress plugin work with wp2.8.* blogs?

The BackType Connect plugin on wordpress.org lists the maximum WP version supported as 2.7.1 - an obsolete version. It seems from the comments here that people are running the plugin on 2.8.* blogs is this correct? If so, could you update the wordpress.org listings to be current - at the moment it gives a warning if I try to install in on a 2.8.* blog.

A comment on the idea "Save/restore app/window layout" in Irradiated Software:

I'd love this feature for a completely different reason - I have an application which, annoyingly, changes the display resolution whenever it's run. Which, of course, messes up the window layout of anything else that's running at the time. – Ricky Buchanan, on September 06, 2009 01:50

What's with some accounts being named "Dormant" now?

There's a bunch of accounts still showing up on the front page but renamed to Dormant, Dormant1, Dormant2, etc. What's happened?

Some of them come true, yes!

A comment on the idea "Private Messaging Function" in I So Wish:

I'm cool with either as long as it's private and secure. And I want comment contents emailed to recipients of notification emails anyway, so the two options are essentially identical. – Ricky Buchanan, on January 19, 2009 00:32

A comment on the idea "Private Messaging Function" in I So Wish:

I think being able to mark comments as only for the wisher would suit fine. Bonus points if one can leave private comments on the person's home page also as can now be done with public ones. – Ricky Buchanan, on January 14, 2009 06:59

Superfluous "Add as friend" links

"Add as friend" link shows up for people who are already friends and for oneself. They should only show up for members who are not me and not already friends.
