Nice, right?

GTD with Entourage

October 8, 2008

I just finished setting up some AppleScripts for Microsoft® Entourage® 2008 for Mac that will move the selected message to a specific folder.

My Inbox has three subfolders: @reply, @action, and @waiting. The AppleScripts are invoked with Ctrl + r, Ctrl + a, and Ctrl + w. If a particular message must be kept for a subsequent reply, it gets moved to the @reply folder. The same rule applies for actionable items and waiting for items.

This setup now affords me the luxury of hiding the Folder List. Instead, I use a custom Favorites Bar with the Inbox, and subfolders.

This is a draft post and will be uploaded and expanded.

My Computer Setup

September 24, 2008

I use a MacBook Pro. I use it at work and at home. I have no qualms about using my personal computer at work. It solves the problem of having multiple locations for my data. This is a short post, but I may add more to it later. Mostly, I need to add some entries to get a better feel for how this site will function.

Style Guide

September 16, 2008

Big Header

This is the style guide for kevrodg.net. This is a normal paragraph and how it looks. Sometimes, it will be necessary to type random text. I am trying to learn the Markdown syntax to make it easier to write blog posts.

Small Header

This is a paragraph below a small header. Can you see what it looks like? Is there enough information here to make a qualitative judgement about this section? Perhaps not. I will type a little bit more to add some more text. There are probably other things I could type here as well, but for now, I think this will suffice.

Code Needed

There will be times when I may add some code to this site. That should appear as follows:

You can type history | grep synergy to recall the synergy command.

There will also be blocks of code as show here:

SELECT SHE_CODE, FAC_CITY, FAC_POST_CODE
FROM SHELTER, FACILITY
WHERE SHELTER.FAC_CODE=FACILITY.FAC_CODE
UNION ALL 
SELECT SHE_CODE, RES_CITY, RES_POST_CODE
FROM SHELTER, RESIDENCE
WHERE SHELTER.RES_CODE=RESIDENCE.RES_CODE
ORDER BY SHE_CODE;

Blockquotes

Most certainly, I will incorporate blockquotes in this weblog. Following my previous pattern, the blockquote begins here:

This is part of the blockquote. this is still part of the blockquote. How is Expression Engine handling all this in MarsEdit? Only a send to weblog will show the result.

This is a regular paragraph after a block quote.

Here is a photograph of the desktop setup I used at my previous job.
