How to take Reference card
Ref. : @blog, Output without input is impossible
I’ve been reading Shoichi Watanabe’s “Chiteki Seikatu no Houhou (A way of intellectual life)” since last monday. This book is one of a reference of the PoIC manual, and a bible for me. This morning, I found a hint about taking Reference card in this book unexpectedly.
In topic “Problem of card system” (p.p. 74-75),
Taking card is harmful for reading book, because it interrupt reading. The best way to avoid this problem is to buy a book. Then you can put line where you like, put circle where your heart moves. It is possible because it is your own book. … This hack is for a general book. This is not true when reading technical book. (Translation by Hawk)
For general book, such as hobby, enlightenments, whatever, we should be more relaxed. Our enjoyment must not be spoiled by taking card. But for technical book we must not hesitate to take Reference cards.
So it is natural that a characteristics (or distribution of cards) is different between Dock @home and @office.
# I didn’t expect the solution is in this book at all. This kind of miracle sometimes happen for “analog” book. :)
