  • 12.16.07 Things Alpha posted in General

    I got the invitation to the alpha of Things from Cultured Code today. While some aspects of task organization are confusing at first, I’m immediately appreciating the flexibility of the system. I’m also appreciating the fact that it seems to be built around the way I actually organize my tasks, allowing for a Next Action view that can be manually converted into a “Today” view. Built in support for “Someday” and “Postponed” make for instant compatibility with the systems I had previously created manually in other programs. The usefulness of the tagging system in my own workflow will be determined as I play with it further. I’m reluctant to make a complete switch, first because it’s alpha, second because at this point there’s no synch or import feature that I’m aware of. Too much trouble and not a wide enough safety net. I am, however, really psyched to watch this one develop.

  • 11.15.07 Together at Last posted in Geekery

    Have you ever given up looking for something and then it found you the next day? That’s how I found Together tonight. I had developed half of a new, nearly perfect (for me) project management system using VoodooPad Pro and its awesome ability to turn freeform thought into organized structure. I could link everything I needed to, including images and files, but I desperately wanted something with a sweet GUI to hold and preview project related documents…

  • 8.20.07 EagleFiler: Productivity and File Management posted in Geekery

    Eagle Filer IconC-Command, the makers of the excellent Spam filtering software, SpamSieve, have released an app called Eagle Filer. This app seems to have existed under the radar for a little while now, but I thought it was time to give it a try. I’m now a die-hard user. Here’s why…

  • 8.6.07 UTW-rpc 1.5 released posted in Geekery

    Bout freakin’ time. Adds Simple Tagging support, new xmlrpc methods, slug support and more. There’s a fix for TextMate users who broke with WP 2.2.1. When they get the date deal sorted out, I’ll update the plugin. Latest version on the Autotag/UTW-rpc page. There’s a new version of Autotag in testing right now, so TextMate users, patience, please…

  • 7.1.07 Jott2iGTD 1.0 posted in Geekery

    This is a major upgrade to Jott2iGTD, which allows you to add tasks to iGTD with your cell phone (via Jott.com). It improves on the ability to handle a slew of Jotts at once, and adds contexts and projects with Levenshtein guessing (because Jott naturally has trouble interpreting the proper nouns we often use for our project titles), as well as tags, better note support and priority levels…

  • 6.27.07 iGTD and Mail.app posted in Geekery

    In order to make the most out of my iGTD system, I’ve been learning to use its email integration features as my only organization system for emails/todos. I was previously using a combination of Mailtags and smart folders to create an email sorting system based on a GTD workflow. Now I use iGTD to categorize and tag all of my emails and more effectively integrate them into my action list…

  • 6.26.07 XMLRPC Delays posted in Geekery

    I’m putting the UTW-rpc bundle on hold for a minute while the Wordpress xmlrpc crew works out a few kinks in the date formatting. Because the plugin directly replaces the post and retrieve functions in the xmlrpc.php file, it needs to mirror the final outcome of the debate. So I think I’ll just avoid releasing a plugin that will break with an update that’s almost certain to come out immediately after. Well, more to the point, the plugin would break the update, albeit in an unnoticeable fashion (rendering it ineffective).

  • 6.18.07 Upgraded posted in Website Updates

    Well, I’ve been designing all of my new Wordpress sites with version 2.2, but just now finally got around to upgrading the blog. It seemed like a fairly painless experience with just a couple of plugin related glitches. I did it through Subversion so I’ll revert if anything goes terribly wrong. If you notice anything amiss on the blog, please let me know! In the meantime I’ve picked up work again on the Wordpress Theme Bundle for TextMate and will be releasing an updated version with a whole bunch of new, more advanced tags and options. I’m also almost through the testing phase for UTW-rpc and have a new AutoTag bundle to go with it. Still open to Beta Testers on that one, if you want in, let me know.

  • 6.11.07 UTW-RPC Beta Testers Wanted posted in Geekery

    Are you using the Simple Tagging plugin, running Wordpress 2.2, or maybe both? Want to help beta-test the new UTW-RPC plugin (the one that incorporates the Robin-Lu Hack to allow tagging to work in TextMate, ecto, et al)? It handles both Ultimate Tag Warrior and Simple Tagging plugins with seamless switching and no user configuration. The plugin has been updated to incorporate all of the changes in the xmlrpc.php file in Wordpress 2.2 but is still backwards compatible with 2.1.3. The Autotag bundle has also been updated for TextMate bloggers who use any of the above combinations. If you’re interested in an advance copy of the plugin, bundle or both, let me know, I’d like to get the kinks worked out before release.

  • 6.11.07 Autotag WP2.2 Compatible posted in Web Design, Geekery

    For those blogging with Autotag, I finally got around to testing with Wordpress 2.2. It works! Now I’m working on an updated version of both UTW-RPC and Autotag that will work with the Simple Tagging plugin as well as Ultimate Tag Warrior. I’m setting it up to automatically determine which plugin is active and use that for the tag functions. It should be ready this week.
