That was an awesome story. You got to see it. Just thinking about the movie now, makes me want to see it again.

I recommend you check out the peepcode book on Git. It’s pretty good.

This tutorial was great – I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I had git and then git-gui up and running… now, just need to get my head around git properly :)

Also, I am looking through my old GTD list and I stumbled on the following: “Sketch out layout of a Mix CD web site @notebook @mac”. I need to actually work on stuff and not wait for people to make muxtape.

I got tasko set up so it syncs with my taskpaper lists at home. We’ll see if I can keep track of stuff that way. Evernote is totally insane, though I haven’t really figure out what to do with it. I’m not one to clip random shit, but maybe I should start.
I’ve also read through the GTD book, but never can really keep up with it. Or properly start it.

I read GTD last summer, or almost all of it, up until the point where I was like, “this is too crazy, I can figure my shit out on my own.”
I just started doing it for real. I wasn’t forgetting to do things or anything, but I was feeling the vague, nebulous stress that goes along with having a million and one things up in the air.
So far I’m not so sure that the system itself is what works, or if it’s the daily and weekly checks that keep it running. I suppose the emphasis on ‘next action’ is crucial and extremely useful once you start doing it. But anyway it’s only been about a month but so far I’m stress free and getting more done.
I’ve been using evernote (and will post about it soon); I did try taskpaper and love the app but the sync isn’t there yet. Or at least, not as effortless as evernote.

I know my friend Haran uses Remember the Milk — or he used to. I like Taskpaper because it’s very simple. RTM is pretty slick, but I still find it a bit too much.

I know you secretly want to be a half-elf psionicist from the city-state of Draj.

Sorry, were you under the impression that you were marrying a nerd?

Yeah, it’s a cute story. I found the teaser trailer strangely moving too. Though, I’m dead on the inside, so I don’t cry anymore.

fantastic story – thanks for pointing that comment/story out.
I’m really really excited to see this film as well, if nothing else, so that the 7 year old boy in me can pretend its another Short Circuit sequel.

I’m pretty much in the same boat, except Windows is my primary OS.
I’ve given a few kicks at GTD, including buying David Allen’s book (1/3 read..I stopped at the part where you have to buy and set up a physical paper inbox) AND a hideously expensive full day course (work subsidized) on optimizing MS Outlook for tasks etc.
Lately I’ve been trying to get behind Remember The Milk – its free, and works pretty well, integrating nicely with gmail, gcal, and blackberry (they must have an iPhone interface)
Check out this blog post on using GTD with RTM.

Shima looks fabulous either way, but this cut does suit her. :)

I don’t think I ever got anywhere near 400 megs a month when I had actual unlimited access for the 4 months after I switched to the 3G value-pack (which doesn’t exist anymore, btw). Mind you, EDGE is pretty slow so half the time I’d just lose the urge to surf.
And yeah, add to the $60 the system access fee, 911 fee, and presumably at least $7 bucks for call display, and then add taxes, and owning an iPhone officially starts to suck.

How fast would one typically burn through 400mb and 150 daytime minutes?

Add taxes and you guys are screwed lol..£30 over here lol..and the hotspots, Rogers should probably work on first making sure their home broadband works before pushing out these hotspots…my conclusion, Rogers is complete crap!

Rogers is obviously offering the exact same prices. They also mention ‘unlimited access to Fido and Rogers hotspots’.

It’s too bad it had to come from Harris and the Fraser Institute…but there is a valid point there. John Tory should run for mayor again.
