Does anyone know any good sites for sort either fiddling technology or sort of little mental things like being able to remember stuff? Sort of little hacks, that's the best way i can describe it.
Try hackergames.net and specifically http://3564020356.org/.
(Which isn`t working for me at the moment ...hope it`s not dead)
Should change the way you look at data. Teach you how to "zen" and "trance" and more importantly to be a stubborn bastard as far as lateral thinking goes. All usefull little tricks when it gets to the real world. On par with playing Go and learning a martial art. ( Come to think of it... "hacking" can be thought of as martial arts for the computer generation)
