Why I Sometimes Choose Living Over Sleeping [The Cranking Widgets Blog]
I’ll tell you right now, I rarely get enough sleep (assuming “enough” sleep is 8 hours per night). On the average night, I’ll get 5-6 hours of sleep, and sometimes it’s less than that. And It’s not because I can’t sleep - I hardly ever have trouble falling asleep. No, whenever I [...]

ActiveWords en español [El Canasto]
Este fin de semana recibió un twitter de Angel Maria diciéndome que ActiveWords funcione mal con acentos. Cuando escribió el artÃculo sobre AW, he olvidado mencionarlo, por que no escribo mucho en español y por que ya he solucionado este problema en mis ordenadores.

Das Tickler-File [ToolBlog]
Es gibt immer mal wieder offene Fragen zu dem berühmten Tickler-File mit den noch berühmteren 43 Folders. Im Prinzip handelt es sich um eine mehr oder weniger raffinierte Methode, Schriftstücke mit Zeitbezug so abzulegen, dass sie quasi automatisch rechtzeitig wiedervorgelegt werden. Bei “El canasto” habe ich ein Foto entdeckt, das zeigt, wie ein solches Ticklerfile [...]
I’ve fallen in love…. [Setting Contexts]
…with TextExpander.
TextExpander, by SmileOnMyMac, allows you to use customized abbreviations to insert text that you use frequently (like email signatures or form information) into any document. The impact to anyone’s productivity would be huge and immediate.

Posting has been slow again [What's the next action]
The last couple of days my posting habits have been slowed down again. Yes, I completely forgot the Friday 5ives. Well, not forget them, but I just didn't have the time to make them. Couple of reasons: Work is swamped (I occassionally squeek in a few minutes during lunchbreak or in between jobs), the weather [...]
