plindberg/Peter Lindberg in #gtdbubblan Jag följer GTD-boken med ett A-Ö-arkiv. Som han säger, arkiverar du det på begynnelsebokstav är det max 2-3 ställen du behöver leta. T ex för hemförsäkringspapper: f för försäkring, t för Trygg Hansa eller l för lägenhet. Jag har fyra av Granits smala arkivboxar med hängmappar. Och i varje utgick jag från en mapp för varje bokstav. Några bokstäver fylldes mer än andra och då inrättade jag egna mappar för det som tog plats. Och i ögonblicket jag började med detta fick plötsligt en massa saker ett hem. Var fasen har man annars passet när man inte reser? Var har man extra kopior av nycklar? Var har man alla papper man ska samla på sig till kommande deklaration? Posted 1179 days ago, favorited by lemonad 1179 days ago.

claes/Claes Magnusson @rogeraberg; Kunde varit värre, du kunde haft kompisen med den där SonyEricsson P1 eller sunkiga Dell-laptoppen som bara klarar 11B. Men, yes, det är bättre om du tar dina nya prylar som klarar 11N och kör dem på ett separat nät som du låser till 5 GHz och 11N. Du får hastigheter som du aldrig trodde var möjliga. Och så kan du använda din gamla sändare till ett nät för bara 11G. Koppla ihop med ethernet så blir det utmärkt. Eller så hittar du sändare med dubbelradio där du kan ha en separat sändare för 11G på 2.4 GHz och en för 11N som du låser till 5 GHz. Posted 1189 days ago, favorited by Seoism 1188 days ago.

constantine/Stefan Constantinescu For one week I forced myself to defect from Jaiku and to not only join Twitter, but to use the service actively. The reasons for this little experiment are numerous, with some of them being quite personal, but my main motivations was the recent lack of reliability that Jaiku has been experiencing and sheer curiosity to understand why Twitter is so popular in the first place. Twitter was a service I constantly made fun of due to the misguided assumptions that conversations seemed impossible to maintain, the people using the service were predominantly based out of the West Coast of the USA, the UI was horrible and overly simplistic, and I still had fond memories of how unreliable Twitter was last year and the year before that. What I discovered after about 9 days of using Twitter is that the service is powerful for a variety of different reasons and while it is not perfect, neither is Jaiku. Twitter has an API that actually works and because of that a rich ecosystem of third party applications was built around the seemingly banal concept of sending 140 character messages. I can count the number of times I used twitter.com on one hand. Twitpic allows me to instantly share photos, Dabr allows me to have a rich mobile UI while on the go, TweetDeck enables me to have a comprehensive dashboard to the Twitter experience and various bloggers I know are using tools to have their RSS feeds published directly into their Twitter feed. None of this worked right in Jaiku or it was too hard to setup since you had to provide an API key and that method of authentication had such a terrible user experience that only highly competent technical users took advantage. Twitter has confirmed that they're working on including OAuth support so at some point in the future you no longer have to give your credentials to third party services. The biggest advantage that Twitter has compared to Jaiku, and this can not be underestimated, is the rich real time search capabilities. Jaiku, which is now owned by Google, ironically has no search engine. Using TweetDeck I can follow, in real time, what people are saying about a particular keyboard. I'm tracking what all of Twitter has to say about Nokia, Helsinki and the Palm Pre. If you post a tweet asking what the temperature is in Helsinki or that your Nokia is broken, then I see it pop up in TweetDeck mere milliseconds after you hit enter and can interact with you. That is powerful. That is addicting. Twitter has direct messaging. It only works if I'm following you and you're following me, which is brilliant since it prevents spam. If I want to tell you something, without the entire world reading what I have to say, then I can do that. Many of you are thinking: "but Stefan, I can do that over IM and email!" to which I have to reply: "true, but if I'm already in Twitter so it would be a pain for me to switch applications when I just have something very simple to tell you." Twitter has hashtags so that I can tag posts by including "#Nokia" in my tweet and now whenever you do a search for "#Nokia" you can see a list of tweets with the same tag. A bit useless in some cases since spammers take advantage of it to sell their merchandise, but in some cases brilliant since you can follow an event or company with little to no hassle. Twitter also has the ability to favorite a Tweet, something you can do in Jaiku with Jaikungfu, but Jaikungfu only works on the one or two machines you own that have that extension installed. Favoriting is built into the Twitter API. It pretty much stops there however. I'm not surprised the top tier Twitter users are on FriendFeed. The conversations you have on Twitter usually last one to two replies, but after that you simply switch to another medium out of sheer frustration. FriendFeed fixed this and since FriendFeed was built by a bunch of people out of the West Coast, who used to work for Google, it was picked up by the Twitter elite out of San Francisco. Jaiku, like FriendFeed, allows you to post a comment that is longer than 140 characters, which is a necessity if you're going to have a deep, meaningful and intellectually fulfilling conversation. Jaiku, like FriendFeed, allows you to create rooms where you and other users of the service can discuss a certain topic. FriendFeed, unlike Jaiku, has never been down or at least I never heard of it being down. In my 9 days on Twitter I've met 4 interesting people for drinks, read articles that I have not seen on Jaiku, helped numerous people when it came to recommending a Nokia or an application for their Nokia, found out about breaking news before my RSS reader picked it up, and got to know the personal side of people who my only previous interactions with them was reading their blogs. I can not say Twitter is inferior to Jaiku, nor can I say Twitter is a better service. Like all social tools on the internet there is no right and wrong way to use them and you get as much out of the services you invest in them. Jaiku can sometimes be annoying. I do not have the ability to block people. I do not have the ability to unsubscribe to a conversation and that has stopped me from contributing to many conversations since I know that my "river of Jaikus" will be filled with *useless banter from people who I don't really care about, talking about something that I no longer care about.* I can now see why Twitter is powerful and if they enabled threaded conversations then I can see a major portion of the people reading this moving over. The 140 character limitation is frustrating, but it forces you to be concise. I'm still getting used to that to be honest. No more long winded answers, no more detailed answers sprinkled with multiple links. I'll answer any questions you have and while I can say I hope we can talk about the differences in these networks civilly, my past experiences indicate this is going to turn into a swearing competition. I'm @s_constantine on twitter by the way. Apologies for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I made a promise to myself and @dst that I would get this out by 17:00 so I rushed since I need to be somewhere in 7 minutes and will be late! =P Posted 1208 days ago, favorited by dst 1195 days ago.
