From an iChat today:

Brad: now if only Expose was available "outside" of your computer??

Me: lol

I don't care if the name "Rendezvous" was patented or trademarked or protected by whatever-the-hell lawyerly evil could be done, I will never call it Bonjour.

I'm just beginning to work on my own GTD system, and I'm using OmniOutliner 3 Pro for a good part of my action list management. Since David (Allen, author of ::amazon("0142000280/merlinsblog-20","Getting Things Done")::) recommends using your calendar to manage the hard landscape, I have appointments and such in iCal.

I'm also reading The eMyth Revisited, on the advice of my father, who has navigated the entrepreneurial waters for most of my life.

I've got a bee in my bonnet to figure out a good way to implement a simple tagging scheme like the one used by del.icio.us. My particular question is, is it better to leave the tags in a text field and union them on the fly, or do some sort of pre-processing into an intermediate state before querying them?

Because I'm always trying and failing to get things done, I'm investigating the latest in productivity memes. Gad, I'll try just about anything if it'll help.

Man, I had no idea Pavarotti loved elephants so much. (Yeah, thanks Mark. Bork!)
