    Tastee (del.icio.us) links!

    These are my links for June 15th through June 18th: xkcd – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language – By Randall Munroe – Everyone probably already reads xkcd, but I loved this one. "DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary" By Erika Moen – This whole comic series is amazing, but this particular comic (especially panel #4) had me rolling. I'd probably be arrested if I had a penis, too. An important issue? « I?m just saying? – This author (professor?) and a group of students set up an exhibit exploring white privilege at Seattle Pacific University. I always love discussions of white privilege for the different…

    Busy bee

    One of the big worries I have is that I will look back at my life in a decade and realize that I spent my youth working only for a company. I work for a pretty awesome company now, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want all my accomplishments in life to be through them.

    Tastee (del.icio.us) links!

    These are my links for May 4th through May 27th: migrating email to Gmail – I just moved this domain's email to Google's hosted apps, including their gmail interface. The issue was, of course, that I had years of emails stored from IMAP that I wanted in gmail for searchability. This thread in the DreamHost forums offers two wor Tips for Building Your GM Notebook – Treasure Tables – I've started a GM notebook for the game I'm running for Greg. So far — just one session, and far from a completed book — it's been a big help. So what IS D&D anyway? : Critical Hits – One of…

    GTD: Implementing with Tracks

    When I started the new job on Monday, I took a bit of time to consider how I wanted to implement Getting Things Done (GTD) in the workplace. After considering my circumstances — glued to a computer all day, no particular need to access issues from home — I decided to try out Tracks, a Ruby on Rails tool for implementing GTD. Looked hot, so after a few failed attempts to get it installed on XP at work, I set up an account on a hosted server and ran with it. …I love it. Now, I have a PDA, you might say. A nice little Sony Clie 610C that’s served…

    1000th post

    This isn’t actually a significant or meaningful post, aside from the fact that’s it’s the 1000th post on this blag. My writing here is often inspired by my readings of books, news, or other blogs, and for the past several days, I haven’t been struck by much that really pinged with me, which is why there have just been several link posts. I’m at the new job, and it’s very nice so far. Because of how late I’m forced to go in in the mornings, I don’t take lunch, and so I’m even less inclined to write here, since my evenings are filled with D & D and financial fun.…
