Links roundup - remember the milk!
Web Apps
First off, I’ve started using a fantastic little app for organising your life this week - rememberthemilk its immensely usable, and lets you list the things you have to do, organised by project if you wish. You can set due dates, and have tasks recur on a regular basis. It has plugins for iPhone, facebook and netvibes. Great for gtd fans.
Speaking of netvibes, that’s another tool i’ve only just discovered. A little like OS X’s dashboard, it lets you save a webpage full of widgets which can provide you with all sorts of data in one easy location. I’ve got mine set up to report on all my email accounts, facebook - see if I’ve got any messages and what people are up to, and myspace. Its my homepage, so now I only need to check one location for all these things, and no multiple sign ins.
Ruby
If you haven’t come across it, check out Why’s poignant guide to ruby. Its a strange little manual about the language Ruby, but its more like an art scrapbook than a programming book. Great for fans of David Shrigley who are also geeks!
Wallpapers
Smashing Magazine have released a list of some of the best free wallpapers on the web. Unlike most, these actually are really nice, and fit large screens.
Life changing stuff
I’ve started to read the Tim Ferriss book - 4 hour workweek. In it Tim explains how he managed to live the life he always wanted to by following a range of techniques and really thinking “outside the box” as they say. Now he only does 4 hours of uninteresting work a week and spends the rest of his time doing whatever he pleases (which is not lazing around). Check out his blog, and I recommend the book too - out in UK in April.
