I've been trying to distill some ideas regarding Free Software sparked by a discussion on the FSFE mailing list, Steven's blog post on open source whoring, and a few changes within Luminas (no, we're not giving up on FLOSS or becoming proprietary).
The last few evenings this has led me to re-read turn of the (19th) century fiction. Strange, but true. All will be explained if I ever manage to turn it into a sane blog post. It makes a refreshing change from Getting Things Done though, which I must confess I haven't got round to finishing ... last time I started it, I ended up reading the excellent Book of Illusions instead.
On the subject of GTD ... the psychology of dumping your brain into lists is amusing me no end. I've been trying to use Tasks Pro, but it's a trust thing. I think I know that all the stuff in my brain I'll remember (yeah, right), but if I dump it into Tasks Pro, I might forget it (which is exactly what I should do, and then use Tasks Pro to remember it again). I need to get used to the dump-and-forget-and-focus way of doing things.
Speaking of amusing, I've become addicted to the Dawn and Drew Show. It's irreverent, foul-mouthed, dirty and just so damned funny. I 've had to stop listening to it when I'm out and about for fear of laughing out loud in the middle of the street. It joins Coverville and Daily Source Code as my "must listen" additions to the iPod.
This has been a stream of semi-conscious ramblings post.
