This is another example of an idea which came to me in a dream. It may well be crap but i lack the perspective on it right now to judge.
A section in the menu of a GUI which sorts the applications into most used by time period, so for example, a programme users only have for designing Christmas cards
would be under December, one for processing tax would be in April and so forth. Or, break it down into smaller periods so that different days of the week have different menus, so that tasks allocated or simply more likely to occur on those days would become more accessible.

His halfbakery ideas come to him in dreams! He must be the one we have waited for! He is the one legends spoke of! He will be our leader! |

I like it - a sort of programmatic crop-rotation - a recoupling people with the natural ebb and flow of the world around them, using a computer desktop feature. |
|
|
Nice implementation of context aware application availability. This would be *much* better than Windows simply complaing about "unused items on desktop". |

Will there be juniper bushes ? |
|
|
Not only will there be juniper bushes, [ of ]; there will be unnecessary punctuation and liquor brewed directly from juniper berries. |
|
|
There was another dream one, about a urine-powered laptop. |
|
|
I also had a dream about [UnaBubba] last night, incidentally, where he was an NRA member living in the Northern Territory. |
|
|
//there be juniper bushes//... //juniper berries// |
|
|
A miracle! A miracle! He has made the bush fruitful by His words. They have brought forth juniper berries. |
|
|
I've not seen a fruitful Bush in over a decade now... |
|
|
Of course they've brought forth juniper berries! They're juniper bushes! What do you expect?! |
|
|
//What do you expect?// Unremarkable ... if you have
juniper bushes to start with. Starting with primordial soup,
or quark-gluon plasma, to make juniper bushes bring
forth juniper berries is darned impressive. |

A witch! A witch! Can we we burn [nineteenthly]? |
|
|
Not sure how flammable i'd be without help, [Dub], though there's always spontaneous human combustion i suppose. |
|
|
[Mouseposture], isn't it creation ex nihilo though? |
|
|
<points at [nineteenthly]> He turned me into a newt! |
|
|
Can you prove you were not always one? |
|
|
But [jinbish], you got better didn't you? |
|
|
[19thly]: er... yeah... I guess...
[poc]: Depends who you ask! |
|
|
(Also should re-emphasise that it's a great idea) |
|
|
Maybe you're a newt dreaming you're human. |
|
|
//I used to think// No longer? What convinced you
otherwise? |
|
|
If one was a newt, it might be impossible to imagine hearing or being sober, in the proverbial sense. |
|
|
Very clever, Mr. Tindale, but it's newts all the way down. |
|
|
True. Makes me think it'd be nice to be able to understand OOP. |
