 For some time now I’ve suffered from [Computer Vision Syndrome](http://www.mdsupport.org/library/cvs.html) (CVS). Most computer users have CVS to some degree or another — it’s pretty common. I also seem to have a susceptibility to flicker vertigo as well. Strangely enough, I’ve been unable to find very much material that talks about flicker vertigo in terms of computer use in an office environment. The only things I can find are advisories for pilots who fly propeller driven aircraft and helicopters.

 I picked up the June/July 2006 issue of [Scientific American Mind](http://www.sciammind.com/) solely for the article on the [Science of Burnout](https://www.scientificamerican.com/magazine/mind/2006/06-01/). I was feeling particularly frustrated with work at the time and it was nice to read an article telling me that things I had been feeling were not out of the ordinary.

 Back in 2004 I wrote a piece about working in a cubicle ([Why I Hate Working in Cubicles]({{ site.baseurl }}{% post_url 2004-02-17-why-i-hate-working-in-cubicles %})). The main thrust of my entry was not so much that cubicles themselves are bad, but the overhead lighting was killing me.

 I’ve been receiving [Make](http://www.makezine.com) magazine since its first issue, so I decided it was about time I actually make something. I picked the Jam Jar Pulse Jet from issue 05 ([more info here](http://makezine.com/05/jamjarjet/)). This project was really easy — the hardest part was finding the canning jars in Wal-Mart. Here’s the finished product:

@@ -11,20 +14,24 @@ Then I went and [RTFM](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/manual/index.html).
 
 [FindBugs](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/index.html) has a [filtering system](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/manual/filter.html) that makes `@SuppressWarnings` look amateur. Here’s an example: in the `SoapRequestProcessor`, [FindBugs](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/index.html) marked a warning that an `Exception` was being caught when no `Exception` was being thrown. After looking at the code and verifying that the try block in question throws several different exceptions, I created a filter entry. The entry looks like this:
 
-    <Match>
-      <Class name="org.megatome.frame2.front.SoapRequestProcessor"/>
-      <Method name="getEvents"/>
-      <Bug pattern="REC\_CATCH\_EXCEPTION"/>
-    </Match>
+```xml    
+<Match>
+  <Class name="org.megatome.frame2.front.SoapRequestProcessor"/>
+  <Method name="getEvents"/>
+  <Bug pattern="REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION"/>
+</Match>
+```
 
 This tells [FindBugs](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/index.html) to match a specific bug type in a specified method in a desired class. This entry can be used in both an inclusion or exclusion filter — I use it to exclude that warning from the results.
 
 Here’s a more complex example:
 
-    <Match>
-      <Class name="~.\*introspector\\.Bean\\d+" />
-      <Bug pattern="EI\_EXPOSE\_REP,EI\_EXPOSE\_REP2"/>
-    </Match>
+```xml
+<Match>
+  <Class name="~.*introspector\.Bean\d+" />
+  <Bug pattern="EI_EXPOSE_REP,EI_EXPOSE_REP2"/>
+</Match>
+```
 
 There are some test classes that don’t exactly follow good rules of programming when it comes to dealing with mutability. Since they are test classes, I don’t really care to fix them. Instead I set up the filter to match all classes in an introspector package named Bean1, Bean2, etc. Simple as can be!
