Google Notebook

So I’ve moved on from the Wiki on thumb drive solution for my to-do lists. The first place I’m giving a try-out to is Google Notebook. So far, so good.

I don’t really like the fact that I can’t link different sections together through hyperlinks, like I could with the Wiki, but that is somewhat overcome by all of the sections being one click away in the Notebooks list on the right.

I do like the fact that I can add Notebook to my Google home page and instantly see what’s going on, though I wish I could customize that so that it didn’t minimize all the notebooks every time I load the home page. I’d like to leave my main To-Do list viewable on load. Ah it’s only one click to expand it, but still. That’s one more than it needs to be! 🙂

    Linked: The Third Web

    Here’s the thing. I’ve been around the internet, and the Web, a long time. Long enough to remember when HTML was going to “democratize” publishing and when blogging was going to “democratize journalism” and when social media was going to be the thing that finally “democratized” the Web and gave everyone a voice.

    None of that proved to be true. Each and every iteration of Internet technology eventually wound up with a couple of big winners, and some sort of monopoly.

    What is it about Web3 that makes people think this will end any differently?

    Depression Stigma in IT?

    So yeah, we need to talk about this. Not just in IT, in every industry and workplace. 1 in 10 Americans reports suffering from depression. If you have more than 10 people working in your company, there is a very, very good chance that someone there is dealing with depression, and is at risk. They, like me, need help.

    Twitter to the Rescue!

    Well, maybe not rescue so much, but I can say that as much as I like Twitter currently, I really gained a new appreciation for it last night. Within about 10-15 minutes of returning home from Dayton/Cincinnati on Sunday, the remnants of Hurricane Ike, which seemed to have moved at quite a pace up from…

    Self Encrypted Drives

    So with the advent of so-called self encrypted SSD hard drives, what does that mean for e-discovery data? Sure in terms of using the drives to exchange data between client and firm, or between plaintiff and defense, having it encrypted is a pretty good idea. On the other hand, will it become more of a…

  • 2000 Bloggers

    I haven’t spoken about this, I am on the 2000 Bloggers collage. I joined and purposely didn’t say anything because I saw it as a sort of sociological experiment, and I didn’t want to do anything to influence it. As it turns out, my original theory was that being one face in a collage of…

  • Dull and Useful

    See, I’m moving ahead more and more with this blog. First I started putting some permanent links to other blogs down the side, (still looking for suggestions!) now I’ve got a search function going over there too. Pretty soon this will look like every other blog on the planet! I know doing it that way…

  1. Interesting. I was starting to get into the idea of a carry-around wiki, just hadn’t gotten around to figure it out. Did you find a doc somewhere on how to do that?

  2. Steven, I was using a GTD version of Tiddlywiki, which is about the simplest Wiki out there, it’s one html page. Just keep that page on a thumb drive and you’re good to go. I enjoyed that but I find myself working on so many different machines, in different places, sometimes without my thumb drive on me, that I just decided I needed to do something online.
