Sytone's Ramblings

“Wow I got HACKED BY RHIFAT on my sytone.net domain… Perhaps I should have upgraded PHP nuke at some point in the last year or so Anyway, congratulations and Hacker and Cracker have meanings…”

“Well Guy Fawkes day has come and gone, and on last friday we decided to celbrate. Nick, Than, Ginny and Tim all came over for the night and we set off a range of explosives. I managed to take some picture during the evening and they can be found here. Anja enjoyed the show of ‘stars’ and didn’t really want to go to bed and miss all the fun. The rest of the week end passed quietly and no compaints from the neighbours yet about plastic on the roof ”

“I updated my address today and I still do not get it… Why do they go to all the trouble of issuing a plastic license and still require a paper one? In Australia we have had a plastic one for years, surely it cannot be that hard!”

“Especially when they use my domain! I have about 2000 auto responses for email I didn’t send.. They decided to use *@sytone.com as the from address. SO I have dropped any mail to sytone.com for the mean time. It will bounce around the internet for a while but at least my mail server will survive. I wonder what happenes to a bounced bounce. I do not have the time to look at the RFC. I have had a request for more details on how I am using GTD in Outlook, I have added a new section to the Wiki with details on my folder structure. Im feelin a bit on the tired side, it seems that the list of tasks is growing faster than I can work. I hope the snowball starts melting soon. Did anyone else feel this way when they implimented GTD?”

“Late at night and im tired. We are off to meet some friends tomorrow and take some videos of Anja. I found it quite funny that the government in the UK tried to shut down this site Preparing for Emergencies website also the news this week was blaiming computer games for a killing. Of course the parents that let the less than 18 year old play a over 18 year old game are blameless… Retailers bans Manhunt after murder link claim”

“For some reason I felt like it is friday all day, I guess it is wishful thinking. I have uploaded some photos from the weekend when we went to a country show. Anja enjoyed everything except the fireworks, no matter how much we tried to convince her they were just big flowers she did not believe us. Also on the GTD front, I haven’t done the full implimentation, I’m still struggling with the weekly review but it is getting easier.”

“And I am still alive! So I got my tasks done for the day and I am actually thinking about the next actions, not the projects or jobs I have to do. It is so simple, yet… So next is to get my Palm to sync with outlook, im not sure how it is going to like the user peroperties I have added. I will cross that bridge later! So all is well on Day 2 of GTD. Hey I may even make regular posts to my site now, I will also put up the information on the custom Task Item I have made.”

“So, I have spent most of the day implimenting the Getting Things Done methodology. It is a fair bit of work, so far I have managed to get my inbox to zero and my task list to 33. I was very supprised. I have to go through the seperate task list next to see what is left and then for the Brain Dump! I have made a custom for for the Task Items. The outlook form just didn’t have the flexability for Projects and multi-Adgenda types in a nice way. So Now I have custom folders and the Script reads the folders for the Project/Agenda information. This gives the advantage of being able to trak project reference stuff with the project. I have made a sub folder for the projects with the same name as the project, this was done with future automation in mind if needed. I am quite happy with the ability of outlook so far, and I have only broken it once After this is done it is the review stage! (That and a lot of tasks pending on Monday!)”
