Waaaay Coooooool . . .
I was looking at a website tool on this company’s page and saw something else interesting . . . went to check it out and it’s COOL!
I think it’s going to help me be more organized and productive, but if not, it’ll still be cool to show my brother when he’s visiting — that’s worth the price by itself.
Anyway, I had to share it with you! First, check out my little demo video showing how it works:
Then if you want to try it out for yourself they have a free trial), just click on this link . . .
In other news, I’ve decided to go ahead and try having a “chat night” on Wednesday at 9 PM central time. It’ll be text only (the voice broadcast system isn’t that great with the system I’m using), and the system only allows a maximum of 25 people. Let’s try it out and see how it works!
And finally, for a bit of inspiration, check out this video about “Team Hoyt”. I thought I was a good father, but I this guy taught me a few lessons . . .
That’s all for now my friends — I hope to see some of you on Wednesday’s chat!

Hey Paul-
Great tip on the DeskSpace software. My desktop is such a mess, and like you I just keep moving it all to folders which tend to get forgotten. To be able to sort and manage each desktop by what ever I may have been researching, or even to be able to sort them by any give project will be a great time saver. This also seems like a great way to FOCUS on one project at a time which tends to be a problem for me!

Hi Paul-
When the Comcast tech came to see why I wasn’t getting a good internet signal, he told me that I had way too many icons on my desktop because each icon used up a lot of memory. Do you find this to be a problem? Will it be worse if I use DeskSpace? I really don’t think the tech is correct.

Hi William,
I’ve got 238 icons on my desktop and haven’t noticed any related performance issues.
It may take a bit longer on startup, but it’s been so long since I had a small number of icons that I don’t really have a point of reference.
Your CPU, RAM, hard drive and operating system could make a difference . . . I’m using XP on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 2 GB of RAM. Not a monster machine, but it’s no slouch.
Best,
Paul
