Vincent – I’m a big fan of David Allen’s ‘Getting Things Done or
GTD’ and a tool that can help you using in Gmail is the free Firefox
plug-in GTD for Gmail. Very, very slick way to tag and control
tasks, priorities and such and keep on top of things.

You can find it at http://www.gtdgmail.com/.

An interesting tool that I’m trying.

Forbidding Vistas: Windows licensing disserves the user

***Begin Quote***

It is unlikely that a home user looking for a computer operating system has any of these “features” of the Vista EULA in mind: The Red Queen

1. Self-limiting software
2. Vanishing functionality through invalidation
3. Removal of media capabilities
4. Problem-solving prohibited
5. Limited mobility
6. One transfer only
and a bonus,
7. Restrictions on your rights to use MPEG-4 video

Why would you “volunteer” for this non-sense?

I can’t understand WHY do this upgrade. There are few upsides; what comes out of this that can’t be done on Ubuntu or remaining on XP SP2?

If I had any Microsoft stock, then I’d dump it. I think they “screwed the pooch” doing this XP 2 Vista. I’d bet they planned for a huge increase in the bottom line. I think they are going to take a hit. A big hit!

I think this is the best thing that could have ever happened for Linux!

TECH: Microsoft Word got confused today

Friday, October 20, 2006

Microsoft Ward began to display, what I think Microsoft calls a “screen artifact”, today. (I’d call it a bug!) Unfortunately it was right over the main menu entries on the upper left part of the display. Stopping and restarting Word was enough to make it go away, but it was annoying, until I gave up and tried that. Arghh! ;-)

TECH: XP’s “Notification Area” is all screwed up

Friday, October 20, 2006

Somehting’s funky.

The icons that should be there are not. I have lots marked “always” and they ain’t there.

Did a quick look at the Microsoft Knowledge base and didn’t see anything that applied. (But, then there is so much chaff, how can anyone find anything?)

Thoughts?

LIBERTY: vote for revolutionaries … like the dead old white guys

How about, instead of electing yet another harvest of gray-haired hand-shakers who have no interest in office other than the cost of their influence and vote… instead of letting the reins of power stay in the hands of a group of people who have so thoroughly corrupted their offices… and instead of simply handing the power of office back to yet another generation of partisan hacks of either color…

Candidates that don’t sign the small government pledge, don’t get my vote.
