<p>Taxonomy is as important for IT people as the &#8220;Petrificus Totalus&#8221; spell is for Harry Potter. Carl Linnaeus was the <strong>father of Taxonomy</strong>, a Swedish botanist who laid the foundations for a classification system that is now widely used in biological sciences. My mind is now boggling at this inspiring discovery of how Linnaeus came up with the name of the morning flower, otherwise known as COMMELINA:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Delightful Linnaeus, who dearly loved his little joke, himself confesses to have named the day-flowers after three brothers Commelyn, Dutch botanists, because two of them—commemorated in the showy blue petals of the blossom—published their works; the third, lacking application and ambition, amounted to nothing, like the third inconspicuous whitish third petal.&#8221;</p>
<p>From A Country Year: Living The Questions.</strong></p>
<p>In the eyes of Linnaeus, a white subtle petal represented <strong>indolence</strong>. I will never look at flowers the same way again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While trying to find a costless and speedy way to run objective C on Windows, I suddenly came up with three different solutions -equally time consuming but yet efficient. (I love using dashes btw.) :) (And smilies too.) So, having this &#8216;unique moment in time where a coherent ammount of knowledge was appointed to a certain neural alleyway of mine&#8217; I immediately felt the need to commemorate my &#8216;late&#8217; brain cells &#8211; the ones that departed a long time ago and took my knowledge of C++ with them. (I told you I loved dashes.) So, this short post was written in loving memory of a particular procedure of a brain and in celebration of a new systematic method of studying. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think you can be any more geekier than that&#8230; :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Οπωσδήποτε θα μπορούσα να γίνω μιά καλή συγγραφέας.</strong> Θα έγραφα μόνο για αναγνώστες με σύνδρομο ελλειμματικής υπερ-κινητικής προσοχής. </p>
<p><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/4/6332393_d2046b1c5f_m.jpg" alt="Adhd and Proud" title="Adhd and Proud" border="0" align="left" style="margin-right:10px;" border="0" />Διάβαζα το απόγευμα τη γνώμη του Ruchir Sharma για την πορεία <strong>ανάπτυξης</strong> της <strong>κινεζικής οικονομίας</strong> κι εκεί κάπου ανάμεσα στις σκέψεις “κάτι χτύπησε, τo <strong>twitter</strong> θα ήταν”, “πάλι άφησα ανοιχτό το θερμοσίφωνα&#8230;”, <strong>“το Μανχάταν είναι νησί;”</strong> και “μήπως να διάβαζα εκείνο τον τόμο <strong>Κόναν</strong> που έχω αφήσει στη μέση” (<strong>μωρέ που τον έβαλα;</strong>), ήρθε και σφήνωσε κι εκείνο το αγγλικό “<strong>short attention span</strong>”, μιά φράση που ακούνε συχνά άνθρωποι με έλλειψη προσοχής&#8230; στην Αγγλία. <strong>Στην Ελλάδα δεν θυμάμαι πως μου το είπαν γιατί δεν πρόσεχα. </strong>Οι άνθρωποι με σύνδρομο ADHD (Attention – Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) αναφέρεται ότι δεν προσέχουν ότι τους λένε, μιλάνε ακατάπαυστα και πετάγονται από το ένα θέμα στο άλλο. </p>
<p>Μόνο η σκέψη μου μιλάει ακατάπαυστα και είναι αδύνατο να την παρακολουθήσω αυτή τη στιγμή αλλά το ένστικτό μου λέει ότι αν κάνω υπομονή μέχρι το τέλος θα με οδηγήσει σε κάτι <strong>σπουδαίο</strong>. Οι άνθρωποι με σύνδρομο ADHD αναφέρεται ότι, μπορούν να κάνουν σπουδαίες ανακαλύψεις. Σκέφτομαι ότι η Κίνα θα σταθεροποιήσει την Παγκόσμια Οικονομία. Αναρωτιέμαι αν υπάρχουν ADHD groups στο Internet. Αν υπάρχουν θα είναι κι αυτή μιά σπουδαία ανακάλυψη. Όχι τόσο σπουδαία βέβαια όσο αυτή για την σταθεροποίηση της Παγκόσμιας οικονομίας&#8230; :)</p>
<p>Οι πολυσύλλαβες λέξεις πάντοτε πρόσφεραν ρυθμό στην κωμωδία. Όπως η λέξη <strong>“σταθεροποίηση”</strong>. Είναι μιά πολύ αστεία λέξη αν την χρησιμοποιήσεις σωστά. Μαζί με άλλες πολυσύλλαβες λέξεις.</p>
<p>Στην πραγματικότητα μου αρέσει που το μυαλό μου πετάγεται από το ένα θέμα στο άλλο! <strong>Που είναι το κακό με το να αλλάζεις συνέχεια σταθμούς στο ραδιόφωνο;</strong></p>
<p>Σίγουρα θα μπορούσα να γίνω μιά καλή συγγραφέας. Περισσότεροι από το 50% των ενηλίκων παραδέχονται ότι υποφέρουν από σύνδρομο ελλειματικής προσοχής. Αυτοί είναι οι δυνητικοί μου αναγνώστες&#8230;! :)</p>
<p><em><"Πολλές φορές οι άνθρωποι με ADHD έχουν μια άλλη αίσθηση για τα πράγματα. Έναν τρόπο να βλέπουν στην καρδιά των πραγμάτων όταν οι άλλοι χρησιμοποιούν μεθοδικούς τρόπους. Δεν μπορείς να εξηγήσεις πως βρήκες την λύση ή από που είχες την ιδέα για την Ιστορία ή πως έφτιαξες έναν τέτοιον πίνακα ή πως ήξερες τον σύντομο δρόμο για την απάντηση αλλά <strong>απλώς το νιώθεις.</strong>&#8220;</em></p>

<p><strong>Youth unemployment</strong> in France is at <strong>25 percent and rising</strong>. “youth unemployment 2009” is a <strong>Breakout!</strong> term in Google Insights. </p>
<p>Iranian women had, on average, 7 children in 1984. In <strong>2006</strong>, they had <strong>1,9</strong>. Ageing populations are <strong>rising</strong>.</p>
<p>Multinational memberships have a far greater impact in the global map of world politics. <strong>Countries are no longer supreme.</strong> Obama-less?</p>
<p><strong>Sovereignty</strong>, autonomy, independence and the <strong>assertion </strong>of <strong>power</strong> are not to be found in <strong>pre-election programs</strong> of <strong>Hellenic political parties</strong>.</p>
<p>Germany and France, were historically and still are the <strong>most influential</strong> nations in Europe. Why?</p>
<p>Politics can&#8217;t be understood outside a <strong>global context</strong>.</p>
<p>Voting is not an <strong>act</strong>. It is an <strong>act in concert</strong>.</p>
<p>I could probably <strong>tweet</strong> what I&#8217;m thinking&#8230; :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3594/3500126985_2cb414146f_m.jpg" alt="A field of 140 characters" title="A field of 140 characters"  align="left" style="margin-right:10px;" border="0" />Inevitably a creative self finds inspiration in the most strange places. <strong>Twitter </strong>seems so obvious and simple, and yet is endlessly complex. And so large and perversive, that if one tries to explain its functionality and its significance in a small context, he will completely and utterly fail. It takes a lot to offer an ample narrative of Twitter, whereas it takes far more less to use it. A Twitter user may compose a <strong>tweet </strong>(a text-based post) of up to 140 characters. Most of us are able to write short 140-char updates of our everyday living which Wikipedia categorizes as “Self-Promotion”, “Spam” or <strong>“Pointless babble”</strong>, a term that statistics find extremely accurate for 60% of the Twitter users. But who can really say that? Twitter is based <strong>in the notion of a “spontaneous” method of reproduction of information</strong>. <strong>“Pointless babble”</strong> is nevertheless, <strong>information</strong>. Kind of, everlasting one. It will stay in your profile page forever. That&#8217;s why tweets remind me of photographs. They capture this <strong>decisive moment in time</strong> where you were&#8230; spontaneous. And that&#8217;s why Twitter is ranked as one of the most popular websites worldwide. Because it <strong>allows you to be</strong> spontaneous.</p>
<p>I thought this very nature, makes Twitter <strong>a perfect means of inspiration</strong>. And without much effort or guilt I wrote my “pointless babble”. The one that you just read and what follows&#8230; :)</p>
<p><em><strong>I tweet the ones not afraid to love with boundaries.<br />
Because love grows on a 140 characters field every afternoon.<br />
Never mind the bounden fields. You are the greenest forest. </strong></em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s my <strong>#poetry</strong>, my first <strong>#poetweet</strong> (in two parts). Not at all &#8220;pointless&#8221;. Forget the #irony. Should I make it more obvious? </p>
<p>It&#8217;s #love. </p>
<p>#present.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s a love present in time.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Thank you Twitter for reflecting a culture&#8217;s way with the world!</strong></p>
<p>And since this is my first post in English let me buy you a Twitter song as well&#8230; :) </p>
