Managing Activity Ideas with Google Calendar

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I’ve been using Google Calendar pretty extensively lately, and I’m working out some systems to make things a little easier for myself. The most effective idea so far has been creating a second calendar, which I call “Ideas”. Everything I come across that I think I might do - city festivals, concerts, tentatively discussed visits […]

We Need That Tomorrow

Friday, March 30th, 2007

I was reading Brandon Schauer’s post "And um, can we get that tomorrow?" over the course of the last few days and thinking about it. I save posts in Google Reader that I know I want to go back to soon, and this one has been sitting at the top of one folder for a […]

Not Even Close on Wireless Security

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

Today’s been a learning day; I’ve been getting an hCard set up on the site, or at least trying to do so. I’m struggling with it a bit - Tails doesn’t recognize my hCards as being present, and when I use Operator my Address Book doesn’t want to import the contact, but Yahoo! has no […]
