Happy 2009!

I’ve been playing with Evernote some and it has definitely improved since I last toyed with it. I’m thinking, now that I’m in a different environment, that it just might work for me.

Here are my requirements:

Must be able to use it for work on a laptop that I can’t install [...]

¡Hola, todos! (Hello, everyone!)

I haven’t posted as much as I should lately simply because I’ve been engrossed in this whole language-learning thing (and incredibly tired all week). And I just learned how to make an awesome chocolate martini (mmmm, Godiva liqueur and vanilla vodka). Ain’t learnin’ fun?!

But yes, I’ve been busy playing with new toys [...]

Fancy a ton of online storage space for FREE? I thought you would. Well it’s not quite a ton but Microsoft today announced an upgrade of their Windows Live SkyDrive facility from a measly 1GB up to a really useful 5GB. What’s more they’ve also extended the service to more countries, offering more of us [...]

Well it may be post-Christmas and most of us would have opened all of our pressies by now (get anything nice?) but thanks to GiveAway of The Day and the EverNote Corporation we’ve got one more present to ‘open,’ and this may be a little better than those seasonal socks you got from your Aunt [...]

Every now and then Giveaway of the Day comes up with an exceptional giveaway and today must be one of their best ever - the incredibly useful and Tablet PC friendly EverNote. You may remember I highlighted EverNote as one of the primary tools in my ‘Back to Uni software box.’ It’s absolutely one of [...]

Bhaltair on our forums points out a major discount on the pen-friendly Bluebeam PDF Revu (similar to Adobe Acrobat). If you’re a student, you can get the (standard) version of Bluebeam’s Revu for $30.  This will support all Office 2003, 2007 programs etc.  It’s a GREAT PDF writer (print to PDF) - in [...]

Well my migration over to OneNote is going pretty good. I’ve used it exclusively now in both of the scheduled 3 hour seminars I’ve attended so far, along with numerous other note-taking tasks, and I’ve got to say I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience and that’s without even getting my teeth into, shall we call it, [...]

I love to draw. It’s what I do during my boring lectures. It’s what I do to relax. The tablet pc as a drawing tool was a huge part of the appeal when I was first looking at buying a tablet and seeing that we’re having a bit of a ’software week’ here at STPC [...]

One of my major gripes about OneNote is that the pages will get longer, but they won’t tell you where the page will cut off if you have to print it to paper. For random scribbles and day-to-day operations, this is fine, but if you’re getting ready for that open note test, being able to [...]

Update II:Now it looks like 8pm. Is everyone else seeing this being pushed back as well, or is my computer just flipping out?

Update: Looks like they pushed back the start of the event by a couple of hours to 7pm Mountain Time.

This has already been picked up by a couple of sites, including GottaBeMobile (I [...]
