Let us define 'abstraction' as 'hiding' for the purpose of this post. A 'level of abstraction' therefore is amount of hiding details of a particular kind. Elements are in a sense different 'kinds' of 'bricks' that build a level of abstraction.

Questions?
Questions can be crazy! Look at interviewers on TV. They create so much trouble with simple things and cause put good guys in trouble even if everything they said and did was right they are made to look bad. Why? The trick is in questions they ask.
Questions can be incorrect. What question implies could be out right wrong. More cunning is the warrant of what is implied in a question being wrong. It is hidden so deep that question looks all right. Yet something is odd about it! Wish I could give an example here. I will come up with one.
Therefore, it occurred to me: why do not we have Integrative Calculus? Propositional calculus does not cover questions because questions are not propositions. However there is lot of contribution from questions to everyday logic that propositional calculus can not capture. We therefore need a formal system that can account for questions. I dug to see if there was some research on this topic. Sure, there is. It appears that there is a proposal here.: : in 2001. I am only 9 years behind! A lot of improvement ; It used to be 20 years! But it is not clear how sound the proposal is. There is definitely some scope.

Navigation History Tree
I always wanted a feature in all kinds of exploratory software utilities: navigation history. Isn't that obvious? Apparently not to firefox or Ie or even the I Suffer !
But someone thought about it; way before I did! A Bob from somewhere thought long ago when I was still learning how to use Multi-ICE, about the need for such a tree. Opera and Konqueror were supposed to have it. I have not seen them!
Got some time? Write a firefox plugin. What say? So I begin here! My ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ೦.೯ ಆಟ plugin (hejjeh 0.9 alpha)! Will tell ya when it is ready.

Why $?
The variables in Perl and bash scripts need a $ behind their ass. Why do we need $ in a free stuff like Perl? Let me know if you have an intelligent answer or atleast a solution :)
