Over the next week or so, I’m going to split this blog into two pieces.  All the personal bits will stay here.  This will include posts on politics, religion, and anything else that belongs here.

The rest will be posted on my business website, which I am in the process of rebuilding.  My goal is to have a post every day on something related to the technology and business of systems administration.  I’ve set a goal of July 15th to have the site acceptable and the first post up, and to have at least 5 posts a week (1 per working day).  We’ll see how well that works.

I’ll post here much less regularly, but more regularly than I have been.  I expect at least one post here a week.  Please feel free to hold me to that.

I spent a good bit of my spare time this week trying to get my task list life back under my control.  Needless to say, when you ignore anything like that for 3-4 months, things start to get missed.  Missed is only good when someone is shooting at you.

The first step was deciding once again what task management tool I wanted to use.  I’m  a geek, I love tools.  Bright shiny tools. I had been using Thinking Rock which I liked for its cross platform capabilities.  I was still deciding whether to make my primary workstation my Macbook, or my Thinkpad from work and Thinking Rock let me move back and forth.  The problem was I had to then keep track of updates and put them in later.  With me, not so good an idea since I tend to forget to do it until too late.

However, my beautiful wife needed the Macbook for her nursing studies.  So I went back to something I had tried and liked, but hadn’t really committed to.  Remember The Milk is not strictly a GTD tool, it is a list management tool.  But with just a little work it works just fine.  More importantly it syncs with my Blackberry Curve.  Since I installed the 4.5 OS update on my Blackberry it has been much more user friendly, and the task management interface on it is simple but gets the job done.  So now I can enter tasks right away, without losing them.  Then I go back and can manage them from RTM’s web interface, and they are automatically synced back to my Blackberry.

Now the real fun begins.  Getting my task list life organized again….
