introduction to http://ping.fm
September 16th, 2008I was off to lunch with a few co-works, and Stephen Evans told me about http://ping.fm. I never heard of it, so I went back to my desk after lunch, and found it.
synopsis: ping.fm updates all status updates for a bunch of places:
- Linkedin (I don’t know where status msgs are placed…)
- this blog (via plugin)
- various others places… (see ping.fm)
Updates can be sent from a phone, gtalk, http://ping.fm, email, bunch of methods…
so, now I can update one place, and microblog to all the usual spots. MSN WLM bot doesn’t work…

Ricola vs Cepacol review
May 5th, 2008Completely pointless to most people, unless they’re really looking for a review on something…
My throat was sore from since Saturday, and today’s Monday. I’ve been taking “Cepalcol Sore Throat” to try and numb the soreness that was on the back of my tongue, down my throat, and only to one side… weird.
To the point, cepacol just numbed my tongue, lessened the throat/tongue soreness.
“Ricola Lemon-Mint”, took one and wham… soreness went away… it was soothed. Maybe I was just already getting better, but Ricola definitely made my throat feel a lot better.
Cepacol:
- Taste: 5/10, wouldn’t eat it as a candy.
- Effectiveness: 7/10, just numbed my tongue, but did give some relief
- Overall: 6/10
Recola:
- Taste: 8/10, I like lemon and mint combination. I could eat it as a candy… but does have a little medicine taste to it, so that’s where the 2 got knocked off.
- Effectiveness: 10/10, can’t notice the soreness as I’m typing this.
- Overall: 9/10
Disclaimers:
- I’m not a doctor, this is not medical advice.
- I’m not partnered with the manufacturers of Cepacol, or Ricola
- Trademarks below to their respective owners.

Windows Vista timesync problem
October 11th, 2007Add “pool.ntp.org” to the server list solved my problem.

I have hit inbox ZERO
July 27th, 2007Inbox zero is when you have zero messages in your inbox.
You setup a bunch of verbs that you can ever do with emails.
- Delete
- Delegate
- Respond
- Defer
- Do
Pretty simple.
To help with this process…
Mark all your stuff that you filter into folders, as read. If you don’t read it often, unsubscribe to those lists. These lists have search functions, use it.
Why am I keeping a list of emails that are anceint? Archieve it. If it’s absolutely useless, delete it. If I’ve responded to it, archieve it.

A good analogy is, if you’re a subway sandwich artist, when you get an order, you don’t sit down, and wait for more orders, you handle them as they come in. Not collect them, and when you feel like it, do them.
Inbox zero requires discipline. Watch the video in the above link, and get a feel for how to handle your inbox disaster.
