A few months ago I thought I’d found my Holy Grail of Getting Things Done. A realisation that a wiki solved many of my information handling problems, followed by a later connection with Pimki - Assaph Mehr’s potentially great cross between a wiki and PIM. A series of e-mails led to us developing an idea [...]

I’m feeling really comfortable with Pimki. It’s become as permanent a fixture in my working - and now private - life as any piece of software can be.
I’m now able to spend a huge percentage of my working day in Firefox. Currently, I run the browser first thing in the morning and it logs into [...]

Following on from my posting about Pimki the other day, I’ve been exchanging e-mails with Pimki’s developer, Assaph Mehr.
He’s a very nice chap, keen to listen to users - he’s about to make a feature request from me a reality! - and to squash bugs.
Meanwhile, I seem to be adding a zillion extra pages of [...]

My last post was about a wiki. I was in love with WxWikiServer.
It was a flirtation that lasted a week. I loved what the wiki did, and marvelled at how easy it was to get up and running. But after a week being stared at by that damned bear and a page design that [...]

My Palm sync went west earlier in the week (now mysteriously fixed), and I very nearly took the plunge and took a paid subscription to Backpack. But then the GTD flavour of TiddlyWiKi is l’application du jour…just Google GTD TiddlyWiki or TiddlyWiki, and you’ll see what I mean.
Between them, Backpack and GTD TiddlyWiki have got [...]

I mentioned on Monday that my life had cut itself into two halves when my Palm refused to sync with my desktop.
Well, I’ve tried on and off for the past two days to see if would play ball, to no avail.
But just now the Palm has just burst into life in its cradle to do [...]

What a start to Monday morning. My Palm won’t sync. For reasons that I can’t understand, it has just decided not to sync.
I did my GTD Weekly Review on the Palm yesterday, and have made some diary additions to ACT on the PC, so I don’t have a full view of my life on the [...]

I’ve spent too long this weekend playing with Backpack from 37 Signals. I’m impressed. Very impressed. The more I explore, the more uses I can find. It really is a Web-based application. It feels as if it has the potential depth and flexibility of a word processor or spreadsheet.
While I’m really enthusiastic about Backpack, I [...]

Popping up in some of the RSS feeds I read has been the news that e-mail harms our IQ more than partaking of a spliff.
Guardian Unlimited
The Register
The posited mechanism - constant distraction - seems OK, but surely phone calls and in-person interruptions are far worse distractions? I know I have far more control over e-mail [...]

Yesterday, I noticed a very strange version of 2Gig on my Gmail account. Seth has a theory.
