The following applies to example files from material published by O’Reilly Media, Inc. Content from other publishers may include different rules of usage. Please refer to any additional usage rights explained in the actual example files or refer to the publisher’s website.

O'Reilly books are here to help you get your job done. In general, you may use the code in O'Reilly books in your programs and documentation. You do not need to contact us for permission unless you're reproducing a significant portion of the code. For example, writing a program that uses several chunks of code from our books does not require permission. Answering a question by citing our books and quoting example code does not require permission. On the other hand, selling or distributing a CD-ROM of examples from O'Reilly books does require permission. Incorporating a significant amount of example code from our books into your product's documentation does require permission.

We appreciate, but do not require, attribution. An attribution usually includes the title, author, publisher, and ISBN.

If you think your use of code examples falls outside fair use or the permission given here, feel free to contact us at <permissions@oreilly.com>.

Mind Performance Hacks scripts

==============================

About these scripts

-------------------

The two scripts in this archive are 'dominate' and 'pyro'.

### dominate ###

The dominate script helps you remember long lists of things with the

Dominic System (or with Tony Buzan's SEM^3 system, if you supply the

right data). It appears in Hack #8, "Dominate Your Memory".

Usage example:

$ perl dominate dominic.dat 8071 8100

### pyro ###

The pyro script is so named because it is the indirect descendant of a

HyperCard stack called Inspirograph, and because while I was writing

it, I was reminded of the Creative Fire of the Stoics, and also

because it allows "expyration" (breathing out every possible

permutation of the data in a file) as well as "inspyration" (breathing

in a few permutations and allowing them to inspire you). It occurs in

Hack #20, "Force Your Connections" and Hack #49, "Roll the Dice".

Usage examples:

$ perl pyro utopia.dat place

$ perl pyro utopia.dat place all

$ perl pyro whattodo.dat activity

$ perl pyro whattodo.dat funhome

$ perl pyro whattodo.dat funout

Read _Mind Performance Hacks_ by Ron Hale-Evans, O'Reilly Media,

February 2006, ISBN 0-596-10153-8, of course!

I hope you have anywhere near as much fun with these scripts as I

do. Plus, they're free as in freedom, so hack away, and if you improve

them, please let me know.
