• 11.22.07 C6 Top Mac Apps 2007: Productivity posted in Geekery

  Well, the year is quickly coming to an end and I thought I’d chronicle our latest Mac app adventures. So what makes this particular list of OS X app picks special? First, I’m not doing reruns, so you’re not going to hear about TextMate and Quicksilver all over again. This list assumes you’ve picked up on the basics from at least one of the gazillion top ten lists on Digg, and made your own decisions. Second, this list isn’t a popularity contest. Some of the apps I’m including aren’t popular (yet), some aren’t even widely known. I dig through a lot of apps to find what’s going to work the best for me (and hopefully look good doing it), meaning I offer this list as nothing more than a documentation of my findings. As always, I’d love to hear what you’re using…

• 11.21.07 iGTD Back From The Brink posted in Geekery

  Bartek has released the third iGTD Leopard fix, correcting every last issue that had originally forced me to forsake it. So here I am in the middle of getting used to OmniFocus, having already paid for a license, and the comfort of my old ways is calling me back. I’m a little torn, and I’m thinking I’m going to stay put right where I am and ride this little wave of GTD excitement out. Things announced the completion of their Alpha today and promised their mailing list recipients Beta copies by Christmas. OmniFocus has released updates daily (sometimes twice) and have added multiple new features since the release of the public beta. And iGTD2 is looking pretty sweet. So I’m not doing any more importing/exporting/iCal hackery of my extensive todo list until I’ve had a chance to try all of the above and decide on the “one”. I guess this tingly feeling is some kind of “organization excitement”. And here I thought I was just getting annoyed.

• 11.18.07 Forging a New System posted in Geekery

  It’s been a weird week. I found together just when I needed it. And I had reached a point of frustration with Leopard problems in iGTD and had gone looking for other solutions only to find none. 1 hour after I gave up the public alpha of OmniFocus was released. I pre-registered for a license (good deal). Then Bartek announces iGTD2 with some screenshots/casts today and things are looking pretty competitive again. I just want one system I can trust and love! I’ve found my divorce rate with mac apps is about 90% and my typical relationship length is about a year. Development cycles and my interest level and needs tend to get out of phase at some point. Once I’ve settled into a new routine, I’ll be revisiting some of my productivity posts to talk about more current affairs. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to get to know OmniFocus better…
