• Unified ToDo List

    I've struggled with managing my todo lists and have bounced back and forth among many different applications and even paper notebooks! Recently I decided to give 37signals's Backpack as there are a few Mac clients and the web interface is excellent. I'm quite impressed with it and their free account seems to meet my needs at the moment. Browsing it on the iPhone works quite well and now I have my todo lists wherever I go (as long as I have data coverage). Others probably have the same issue organizing todo lists; I hope that this current solution will work for awhile.

  • Annoying people at conferences

    I sat down in a session today and the person next to me was eating raw carrots. She (yes there are a handful of women here) kept crunching and crunching. I moved seats, but it was still annoying. Do people lack common courtesy or do they not realize the are disturbing my peace?

  • Babar is staying above me

    Babar is staying above me; I hear him stomping around. I was going to ask the front desk if they allowed animals in the rooms, but I'm not sure they'd get the joke. In most cases, heavy stompers don't realize that they're stomping, but what can I do about it? Going upstairs and confronting Babar would not be a good idea as I could get trampled.

  • WWDC - Day 2

    Well, there isn't a whole lot I can say. I respect the NDA I signed and therefore can't reveal the contents of any sessions. However, I can say that I almost fell asleep in a number of sessions; some of the presenters assume zero knowledge from the attendees. While that may be the case for a number of the developers, I've been doing this for awhile.
