GTD update

Well, after a long time between posts, I may have an update of sorts. First is that I've decided that I truly like working in Ubuntu. I've been using my Win XP laptop and trying to learn XP a bit better. I do support it after all. I'm honestly not a fan. It's a decent Windows version and seems pretty stable. I just prefer *nix systems in the long run. I updated the laptop to Dapper Dan but there were some things that didn't seem right. Found a post on how to update to Edgy and I'm running that now. Been very pleased with it. Somehow, I always seem to feel geekier running linux.

The big plus is that I have Jpilot again. If I could only run one piece of software, it would be that one. I can do exactly what I need to do plus I can view my memo32 database. I still want to learn emacs but I don't really want to do my GTD stuff there. I do have an interesting link here. I like that sort of stuff but it never seems to work for me.

Next on the list was a personal finance program. I hadn't had any luck with that. I don't care for Grisbi or GnuCash. Nothing else seemed to work until I found this. Again, it's simple and gets the job done. I think I've found a macro for Open Office that will convert to .qif.

I am really not tracking a lot of projects and I could stand a good weekly review. I try to keep my work stuff totally separate from my home stuff. I am trying for now to limit the tools I use and try to use them more effectively. I've found that Memoleaf on the Palm is really a great tool. Still trying to set up my system with that. Mostly, I need to spend some time figuring out the new projects on my plate.
