Getting Things Done
If you are like me, you probably spend time every so often reassessing the methodologies and tools you use to organize your life or work. I find myself spending large amounts of time trying to streamline processes in an effort to squeeze every bit of productivity out of my day, but I usually find that my efforts make little difference, or I just revert back to old habits.
I've been on a work related productivity kick lately, I found myself spending too much time during my morning routine which eats into my work day. Things like RSS news feeds, facebook updates and email sorting were starting to take WAY more much time than it should. I've wasted hours on stupid facebook games like mob wars, and hours sorting through news feeds I never actually read, and more hours sorting through my email trying to maintain some sort of organization while retaining some resemblance to a task list.
Job Searching Tips
Searching for a job in this economy is a very difficult thing to do. Trust me, I've been there.
Around mid January I got a call from my manager telling me that I was being laid off. Now this was not a *total* surprise since there were 3 rounds of layoffs previous to this one, but it was still a shock. Truth be told I was actually searching for a new job since the second round of layoffs, but it is DAMN hard to find a job right now and I could not find anything. So, after a month of being on unemployment I can happily say that I start a new job tomorrow.
QT is going LGPL
Holy crap batman!!!
I saw on slashdot today that Nokia is going to be releaseing QT under the LGPL license starting with version 4.5 (site). Back in the day, when I was toying with leaving the web industry and going more into traditional software developement, QT caught my eye. The thing that stopped me from diving into QT at that time, was the $5000 license fee for anything non open source.
Now that it is being released as LGPL only, there are no more entry fees. Guess I will be looking at QT again 
New Site Complete
Greetings to all 5 of my subscribers!!
Last night I completed the last portions of my new business site http://www.activebinary.com. If you notice any posts missing from this blog, you will find them over at the other blog. I will be adding some redirects very soon so I don't loose any Google traffic.
What I really want to do is keep the tutorial/technical stuff over on my business blog, and leave this space for more personal type posts.
Please give me some feedback on the new site if you have time.
Later!
Reorganization
Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know that I am reorganizing my blogging efforts. I am in processes of setting up my business site with a blog. As such, most of the more "professional" posts got moved there (along with your comments).
In the future, this space will be used for rants and opinions, as well as more personal posts about my life etc. If you want to follow more of my technical posts, you can subscribe to my other feed (coming soon).
