Kira at Londonist: A quick glance through the comments section in the Telegraph article seems to be all the proof necessary to justify the importance of teaching the concepts of feminism in schools. 2008-08-11T20:22:14ZUntitled entry permalink

Chandler isn't very interesting 2008-08-11T20:43:19ZTitled entry permalink

The Chandler Project, the ever-more-delayed PIM - "personal information manager" - is now 1.0. Here's the release notes.

It's what most people now see as a "GTD" app, only when they started building it back before normal people started using the Internet. Only like other GTD apps, it's feature-to-bloat ratio isn't very good. Imagine if you took iCal and OmniFocus, hacked them together with all the grace of Microsoft Outlook and made it take a long time to start up and shut down.

You can now get to-do list managers built on top of outliners and text editors, and they are generally very fast. I've been using Things.app on the Mac, and have been building a command line interface for it, mostly so that when I'm using my Palm Pilot or any of the other computers in my house, I can add stuff to my inbox. And we bind these things together very lightly - text, XML, Git and HTTP. CalDAV is for grandma.

Chandler lasted all of five minutes on my machine. Sorry guys - good luck and everything, but not for me.

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
