Hi, how are you?

Basecamp is my number 1 go-to application for managing my life. Pretty much everything I do goes through this at some stage. I have to-do lists set up for everything, emails to reply to, daily / weekly / monthly tasks, bills to pay each month, projects that I want to some day get around to doing.
Messages are used for longer things, a list of ideas for what to get friends and family for Christmas along with prices and links, details regarding a recent trip over to Estonia, flight comparison’s and the like.
Milestones are useful for goals and deadlines job deadlines. I have a milestone set up for paying off my credit card (December, what a joyful time that will be!), milestones set up for two websites that I’m doing for people, and things that I would like to do, such as “collect all pixar films”!
I use the free account for all of this, along with another free account for a collaborative uni project with a couple of my classmates, and a paid account for a project at work. The free account does everything I need to do for my personal management.
Is this project management app that people use to manage multi-million dollar projects overkill? Maybe. All I know is that it works for me, and it has been the only thing apart from to-do lists on post-it notes that has stuck in my routine for longer than a week.
It’s funny, for the last couple of days, well, week, I’ve been majourly stressing about getting my uni assignment finished. Freakig out that if I didn’t get it done, then I will never succeed at anything, an I will fail my whole course.
Then I realised that there are stupider people in my class, an that I know plenty of people who don’t ave degrees and are doing fine!
I don’t like this lecturer though. He’s a jerk.
Such a great feature that most people will not even notice, iTunes 9 allows better organization of the media library.
The iTunes organizational hierarchy has been slowly getting more and more disorganized with each feature Apple adds. When you let iTunes manage your files, traditionally they toss everything in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. That works great when everything in “iTunes Music” is, you know, music. Once they’ve tossed movies, podcasts, and a slew of other features in the mix, your directory hierarchy gets really nonsensical with everything in one big ol’ pile.
iTunes 9 finally moves away from this mentality, though the feature is hidden by default. iTunes now lets you organize everything into an upper level “iTunes Media” folder structure, which then breaks out neatly into logical groupings: movies, apps, shows, and so on. You can find this in File => Library => Organize Library. You’re welcome.
This, most certainly, is a great feature in iTunes 9 I would have otherwise missed.
Sorry for the several levels of reblog but this is just too awesome not to post. For those of you who are like me and care about how your media is organized, this is a very big deal.
North Face gear is definately worth the slight extra cost.
This fleece is really thin and light, breathable and also keeps in the warm. I love it!
