Getting Things Done
[28. Apr 2009; Persönliches, Englisch]
Gettings Things Done (GTD) is a self management method which has been around for
a couple of years now. There are many websites, blogs and books dedicated to it. I put some
useful links below.
I had already looked into it some time ago, but quickly lost interest again. The overhead of the
processing flow in GTD made it look inefficent compared to a simple task list.
After being swamped with work to an extend which renders a simple task list useless, I changed my
mind and rediscovered GTD. Interestingly the overhead grows little compared to the amount of
work managed with this system. There is a point at which GTD becomes easier to work with than
simple lists.
I selected Thinking Rock and Freemind as my tools of choice for implementing the approach.
Last but not least: Having read freely available information on the web, the book classic from
David Allen didn't really provide many new insights. So you might want to spend that money
on something else.

From the Very Beginning
[20. Aug 2006; Persönliches, Englisch]
I just learned from wikipedia that my set of SuSE Linux CDs from November 1995 was actually the first SuSE Linux ever. It was my first Linux too.
Counting boxes and CDs in my possession, I've run through about 10 versions of their Linux Distribution since then.
If it wasn't considered lame to use SuSE, I'd be pretty l33t with such a collection.

Poppitz the Movie
[ 8. Oct 2004; Persönliches, Englisch]
What are there chances there is a movie going by someones family name? That's right, about 100% if the time frame is big enough. As far as the name "Poppitz" goes one would expect to have to wait for an eternity. But nah, not anymore. It's been done: "Poppitz" is out
Too bad the movie is not all that great. There are some nice scenes, but its overloaded with stereotypes like the 13 year old goth daughter.
Who the fuck is Poppitz? This question drives car salesman Gerry insane on his vacation. Poppitz is the name of the mystery man who Gerry's junior boss phones with all the time.
