Tales of a Tech Dad

Just me, my Kindle, some coffee, and my Mac. Waiting for my new computer to be ready. It’s kind of nice to have a valid reason to allow me some time to not work and read.

This is an interesting service. http://www.cucku.com/

I just heard about it so this is not an endorsement but I have been looking for a good way to maintain an off site backup. The service requires Skype and I may have to give it a try.

You would think that I work for RTM by now with all of my endorsements. Don’t worry. I have no affiliation with the company other than as a standard user.

This morning RTM online is down. I was upset for a couple of minutes wondering how I was going to be able to work effectively this morning without my lists. Then I remember that I downloaded the RTM Offline Application that works with Google Gears.

Good work RTM!

I seem to be obsessed with my organizational strategy lately. I feel like I have made some good progress in developing a system that helps me to feel at ease and accomplish what I need to.

http://RememberTheMilk.com/ is one of the integral tools that I have been using lately. Check out my audio if you are interested in how it is helping me get things done.

I’m thinking about paying for the pro account but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Let me know if you have tried it out and if you think it is worth it.

Changing the DNS servers in your router and setting up a free account with OpenDNS.org gives you some interesting and FREE control over the content that you allow users of your Internet connection to access. Whether you want to lock it down or just monitor I think it is a pretty cool and useful tool.

It has been too long since I have posted.

Lately I have been working on my personal organization and GTD. I have made some progress that I’ll plan to share with you soon. Now to plug back in and stop being so quiet.
