Updated Blogging By Email

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I’ve fixed the wp-mail file for blogging-by-email. You can get the latest under the “Blog By Mail With Categories” page.

In other news, I finally got my poster from the ‘07 IA Summit online. Check it out here: Nucleus poster

Outlook Killer

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Yesterday I read that the coming Outlook doesn’t support a lot of best practices in HTML design for emails.

Today, I see that Google has a pretty nifty tool as a demo which looks like it’s not too far from what I’d seen of Ximian’s Evolution before Novell bought it.

How much longer before Google announces it’s Outlook killer?

IA Summit, Here I Come!

I checked out my situation in March and it does look like I’ll be able to attend the IA Summit.

A Replacement for Outlook

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

In my quest to find an online replacement for MS Outlook, I’ve found AirSet which can be integrated with BaseCamp for project management as well as sync’ed with Outlook and my Palm via a downloadable component. I guess you have to throw RemoteCalenders in there too.

Now Using Taskline

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

I finally bit the bullet and bought a license for Taskline.  I like it a lot.  I learned about Taskline after reading this guy’s blog and let me just say, I thought I knew a thing or two about time management but I can’t hold a candle to his system.  I wonder how much time he spends maintaining the entire construction but nonetheless, he did draw my attention to Taskline.

I’m one to have a lot of ideas and I’m prone to write them done.  Things like “oh yeah, I definitely have to do that!!!” which then make their way into my PDA and onto my to do list (e.g. tasklist in Outlook.)

 

I’m always frustrated that I never get to everything and that’s where Taskline is coming in useful.  Now I can graphically see just how much time I really have.  I love the visualization aspect of the tool:  that I can guesstimate how long my tasks are going to take and then see if they realistically slot in to the time I have available.  This has humbled me a great deal.
