A cheap and effective solution to lower back pain caused by sitting.

Picture of Nada Chair Back-Up
I have been working on computers full time for over 15 years now, and suffering from related back pain for about 9 years. In that time I have literally tried every ergonomic chair on the market. Okay, there are a few I haven't tried due to not being able to find them in a showroom, but here's a short list of what I've tried in recent memory...

This post has been moved to my new Ergonomic Reviews blog. Check out the full post here:

Hey, cool beans! Very glad you've got something that works for you at last. Hope to see you wearing it at the poker gome this weekend.

Strange, my comment only shows up if I try to post another comment. Ya got the 'need approval' option turned on or something?

Ah, well even though i tried refreshing the pageseveral times before making that last comment, I am now seeing both my comments and expect to see this one show up as well.

Too bad you missed the poker game. Wanted a chance to see the Nada in person. Ah well, maybe next time we frag some n00bs in CS...

Nope, no moderation, but blogger.com seems to suffer from caching issues. Same thing when you post a new article...I often have to do a "shift-reload" to see a new post. You could also append some random querystring such as "?randomtime" to the URL, just to make sure you're not seeing a cached page. This whole site is run off a template system similar to the "Smarty" template system which is probably designed to compile the scripts once and serve the compiled templates from a temp dir on the server, and (though I don't see how a Google programmer could ever make a mistake) it appears they could stand to tweak things.

Sorry I didn't make the game, but I got absorbed in a new programming project. I've resurrected my PHPLive Free Desktop application. I had a false start when I did the first version...I was so happy I got the UI issues figured out that I never got around to understaing the AMFPHP system enough to finish the application. I spent all weekend using brute-force stubbornness to get things going. Now I'm through the worst of the learning curve and I can get on with my redisovery of OO programming. I'm so used to writing procedural script code that it took me a full 3-day weekend to get my bearings again with writing classes. I'm doing it in both PHP4 and Flash ActionScript2, and despite the excellent php web site I've had a hard time finding answers to questions about things like using #include in classes. I just can't fucking understand why the FUCK you can't include a file with a bunch of variable (property) declarations in your class. PHP just can't handle it, but it took me most of a day to figure that out because I'm debugging a flash movie that is calling the PHP classes on the server through a PHP serializer/deserializer that let's Flash and PHP pass objects back and forth and translates them back and forth between their native formats. After about 14 hours of high blood pressure, I finally discovered a crucial debugging class that is barely mentioned on the AMFPHP web site. I'm now using it to figure this shit out.

Laura's here, gotta go.
