Got the CSS3 rounded corners happening! plus a few additions. I think I need to streamline the jQuery a bit and the whole design may yet change, but I’m quite pleased with progress, overall.

very profitably, actually. My book has progressed by about another 4-5 pages and I’ve managed to cut down my read/review list by about 30 items too, thanks to the Bristol to Paddington train being delayed by two hours. Then this evening I’ve been trying out a bunch of utilities for my Mac, including the amazing Quicksilver, WideMail, iTool, MailTags and Disk Inventory X. I’ll definitely be keeping Quicksilver; the others are on probation but I think there’s a fair chance that MailTags will be useful enough to actually pay for…

and they worked!!! Fantastic stuff – it certainly seems easy to get started with. Whether it’s easy to carry on with, though, is another matter… only time will tell. For now I have a working page with links hiding and showing content and even a tab that slides in on command.

They conveniently just transferred by SPNM site login and just sent me my new login details, so I went for a wander around the place. Found a few interesting-looking opportunities and sent off a few emails for more detail

I’ve heard a lot about Tumblr floating round on the internet and it sounded quite interesting as a place for accumulating all one’s assorted randomness in one place. I’m not sure what the potential audience for it would be. I suspect it might be more useful as a way for me to keep an eye on how dull I’m being, but chi.mp didn’t turn out to be particularly interesting or useful and I’m still not sure what I’m going to do with that. Tumblr seems to cover more ground and results in more of a native feel when combining streams from various services, so we’ll see. http://caitlinrowley.tumblr.com.

Wow what a start! Looking like a great book, and very useful indeed for the super-secret project.

To help me keep track of how much time I’m spending on what during the day. I suspect I’m losing a lot of time to things like Twitter and should trim back the amount of time I even have it open, or turn off notifications or something. We’ll see what RescueTime shows up, I guess!

Designing for the social web by Joshua Porter. Looks interesting, is being reviewed for the next London Web Standards Group meeting (which might actually get me along to one of these things) and looks like it could have relevance for a project djeli and I are hatching too. Seemed like good reasons to invest!

You wouldn’t believe the palaver! But sooo glad I’ve been able to do it (for other struggling W810i owners out there, you need to switch off the T9 dictionary, then press # twice. If you have dictionary on when you do this, you’ll just get 2 spaces. Aaargh! Why couldn’t somebody document this??) because now it means I can send multiple tasks to Remember the Milk in one email, which surely will be cheaper on the data costs.

Just a couple from my last day in Brussels.
