Outcome-based action

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I don't think there's enough meat to make this into a GTD or even a DSN-style mantra. I've been thinking about outcome based actions. This is where you make decisions on your next action based not on what you want to do now but rather based on what result you might ...

Inertia

I can't speak for the bank themselves, but their advertising company deserves some kudos. This made me chuckle. RaboDirect Advert (flash video).

John Welch has a Wii

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Nice knowing ya John. And do buy the Rayman game. It's just really stupid. I got mine a month ago and it's changed my life. I no longer need human companionship. It'll be even better when they sort out the obvious thing and make the Mii have any relation to ...

Who wouldn’t choose Google over Microsoft?

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

The Scobleizer writes: Doubleclick turned down Microsoft and were bought by Google instead. I'd previously riffed off Paul Graham on this idea that Microsoft may actually be dying by attrition. I know there's a lot of people who are wowed by WPF but I'm not particularly bothered and yet the ...

Followup on Skype Problems

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

The last thing I got from Skype on my SkypeIn frustrations was on 17th March. Thank you for contacting Skype Support. Maybe there is something wrong with the numbers of the certain area code that you have. As I have mentioned I will get more info from the PSTN this Monday. I really ...

Friday, April 13th, 2007

James, the Clever Bugger, has used the Google MyMaps feature to produce one of those push-pin maps of Ireland to identify co-working locations in Ireland. I thought it would be useful to have the following colour scheme for pushpins - Red = possible (requiring a lot of negotiation) Yellow = probable (being ...

It’s been one of those days…

It’s better to have a cool name than not…

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

James writes about the difference between Jaiku and Twitter: I actually registered for Jaiku last year but soon gave it up for the busier Twitter. That's the argument Robert Scoble makes in favour of the latter - that community (and simplicity) wins. He might be right... I reckon that Twitter is ...

coworking.ie

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

A new blog designed to promote and collect information about collaborative workspaces in Ireland. Community driven and non-profit and hosting the first of my posts on the subject. Last year when I started all of this, I was sufficiently keen on the concept of Bedouin workspaces that I wrote up a ...

Schrödinger’s Microsoft

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Is Microsoft dead or not? Paul Graham says yes.. He's referring to the reduction in stature of the mighty giant from being the unstoppable force of the 90s into one of many software giants that may affect the future. In the past I've referred to the "big three" as GMY as ...
