Seesmic Exploded Tonight January 29, 2008 9:38 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Communications, TechnologySeesmic got demo’d at DEMO tonight. The timeline was speeding by! The Seesmic team also slipped in some fantastic new features. I also noticed the new release no longer burdens my machine. The previous version would force me to reboot after about 15 minutes because the antique computer I have just couldn’t handle it.
Want to read more? David Howlett has posted Seesmic’s next steps. Want to participate? I still have a few invites.

Calling the electronic gurus January 29, 2008 11:25 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Gadgets, TechnologyIf I have a device that is labeled as needing 12v 250ma and I have a power supply that outputs 12v 1200ma am I putting my device at risk?
I seem to recall someone once telling me the milliamps don’t really matter but that doesn’t feel right.

Break the mental dam January 29, 2008 10:43 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeI’m stuck. You know. Bouncing between Twitter and checking Reality Me for comments and email and generally not getting over the programming hurdle that has me in gridlock. So I’ve turned off the distractions but the mind races. It thinks of that overdue post about this past Thursday’s parent night at the high school. It thinks about the phone calls which need to be made to the NRA, Les Jones, and lawyers etc. It thinks about the squirrel trap in the attic. It thinks about anything but what it needs to be doing? How to calm the mind and get focused on work? Simple! Step away from the keyboard. Juggle or clean something. Do something drastically different from the task at hand so that in 5 minutes the task at hand seems fresh and new!

State of Me January 29, 2008 10:27 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeCold. Needed a haircut before Christmas. Now I really need a haircut. Focused on tying up some loose ends on some old projects so that I can move forward with some new projects. Dreading next month’s electric bill. Am feeling pretty sane and balanced between work, personal life/children, and community/volunteer activities.

It is funny that the youngest (school age) person in the house has to be the first up.
