personal information management
Okay, I gotta say that Personal Information Management is a colossal pain in the ass. And while it is fun and rewarding in its own way, it is showing me just how disorganized I've been. Which is a lot.
That's what I've been doing a lot of over the past few days -- working on my wiki. I've got lots of nifty stuff in there. I've got some of the fonts I have on my computer, interesting snippets I found, LJ memes, poems I wrote, books/CDs/software I want to investigate, and so on and so on, all in a crazy tumble of stuff that I find, in some way, to be nifty. And the extra-nifty part of this is that it is accessible from anywhere ... well, anywhere with a net connection, yes, but ... you get the idea.
It is frustrating, yes, but it also gives me a mad satisfaction to do this. And to see it done. I will share the link shortly, as I'd love for you to see it. You'll need to create an account if you want to help me edit, though. I'd also love to hear if you have some suggestions on how to organize this thing.
Oh! And I actually managed to clear one of my inboxes today! Took me an hour or two to do it, as it was jammed full of stuff I'd been collecting, but I did it!
Well, that's all fine and good, I can hear you saying. But what are some of the other things you've been doing?
Oh, the usual. Job searching. Studying CSS. Helping with homework. Being grateful for unexpected communications. Having daughter Ariann's birthday celebration(s). The real one was on Wednesday this week, see, and we had the big party at Blazer Lazer Tag earlier today. I got to sweat my ass off while lugging around a vest, merrily shooting people in the back.
