Having had some time this morning, I have been playing around with my main blog and have now managed to import it, and get it up and running on my own domain!!!

Now I need to start finding some good plugins for flickr etc!

MagSafe connectors on Apple MBPs and MBs

Planning is starting!
I am determined to be more streamlined, more successful and more productive in 2007. I am starting to read David Allen’s excellent book on Getting Things Done and aim to use the ideas in this and a desktop online application (or two) to help, + a Moleskine.
This looks something which may be useful…. a compact calendar for 2007 by David Seah.
Well worth a download….

Fantastic screensaver
Lotsawater is one of those cool things which makes you all warm and fuzzy inside (’cos you own a Mac) (sorry Alan) 
It is a very sweet screensaver which emulates water on your desktop - go on, try it!!

Searching your Google Reader Feeds
I love Google Reader - total continuity on what I have read etc, wherever I am. One HUGE thing missing is search (strange for Google eh!??). However, if you fancy a little bit of work, have a look here and it tells you how do it. Basically you need to set up your own serach engine using Google Coop (damn clever) and you set it up to just search the sites you have in your feeds (so you export the opml file from Google Reader). Then a little script is installed in Firefox (you must have Grease Monkey)… and bingo, search!

Superhero time!
I’ve just taken the Superhero test - it’s had 12.5 Million hits so far! You just need to answer some questions! Great fun!
Your results:
You are Spider-Man

You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.  |

Indiana Jones to return in 2008
Great news!! One of my fave film series of all time (along with Star Wars and also Harry Potter)
I must admit that there are few films that I will go out of the way to see at the cinema. The current home set up means that it is nearly as enjoyable, and when the HD films (whether Blu Ray or HD-DVD) arrive, well that could be the final trip to the cinema… Any thoughts?

Focus on 2007
Morning all!
Hope you are all having a great Christmas - we are!! This is just a quick post, but I wanted to flag up a superb post on the excellent lifehack.org website. It is looking forward to 2007 and the resolutions people will make…. From the post:
 ”Deficit thinking is an ingrained habit of focusing on gaps and weaknesses (the deficit) instead of what’s working (and can be made to work still better). It’s focusing on what you can’t do, not what you can. Instead of your dreams and ambitions propelling you forward, you let the gap between your current state and your desires become a source of frustration and depression. It’s the old business of seeing the glass as half empty”.
So, don’t get down about stuff you cannot and probably will not do (I bet these are things which you have been, and I admit it, me too, trying to change for years!). Instead look at the stuff you love and do brilliantly and try and leverage these to move forward!
How about you? 2007 is the year

Don’t forget my shared items
Anything I think is of interest, I share via Google Reader - saves you trawling through stuff!
A very merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas readers! (All 2 of you!)
I won’t be online much for the next few days so I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and may your turkey be stuffed and cracker pulled (and your stocking brimming with arouund £4000 worth of Apple store vouchers).
NYs eve is also approaching soon, and I am glad to report that
a) we won’t be getting ripped off in a restaurant
b) won’t be having to use a taxi and paying double the usual amount
and c) won’t be risking life and limb with the drunken hoardes.
Excellent
