I find myself using my dashboard now that several widgets have been upgraded. Delivery Status by June Cloud is most impressive.
Experiments with extreme work minimalism. I can work from anywhere and have an office that can be easily duplicated practically anywhere in the world for less than $150 US (less the electronics). Looking forward to doing just that. Beware of opulent offices.
Project Management and Collaboration
I use BaseCamp and BackPack quite a bit for knowledge sharing and project management, and find them to be useful to say the least. Every so often I end up on a project or find a link to something new to check out and it gets me thinking and tinkering. What I found most interesting is Google’s relatively new Sites, which is really the wiki platform JotSpot reincarnated. I really like where Google is going and find myself integrating more of it my life.
I like having them all at my finger tips and many people in my life are already in the Google world. Anyway, it took some digging on making me comfortable using Sites. Here are some key threads for reference:
PS - The one big hang-up is that Sites does not have backup capability, which they seem to have on the radar screen. Hey, it’s free, at my finger tips, and there is a workaround!
I made a lot of progress with my productivity after learning about FluidApps for my Mac, which allows me to create desktop applications for the various websites I use on a daily basis. It’s amazing how simple technology plugins can make such a huge difference and the overwhelming need for third party development. I also discovered the world of menu bar apps. Ready to take on the world!
PS - That’s my Rock Art I do every year. Stay tuned..
