New stuff

I got my copy of Todd Cochrane’s Podcasting, the Do-It-Yourself Guide in the mail yesterday. In addition, my wife’s early Xmas gift for me, a backpack case for my laptop was in the mail as well. I’m looking forward to reading Todd’s book, and I’m looking forward to having a lightweight way to carry my laptop around with me all the time. It should help me be a little more productive, it terms of giving me the ability to do some things, like answer website emails or write up blog posts or other things that I have been waiting to do in the evening. It’s just part one of my overall goal of making better use of my time and prioritizing the things I want to spend my time on. With the part-time consulting gig for my old job and planning for a website launch for the Friends of the Library, free time has been at a real minimum lately, and will continue to be for awhile. I felt like I needed to make some decisions on cutting back on some commitments, but I wanted to make sure I was doing everything I could to maximize my personal productivity before I made any changes.

Now that I’m being more productive, maybe I’ll even find time to do a much-needed redesign of the site. After all, I’m not a One-Man IT Department any longer. I’m just a support/training/helpdesk jockey now. (But I couldn’t be happier about that, either.) This site definitely needs to be redefined, and my blogging needs to find a “voice” and a direction again.
