Stop press: I’ve moved!

It seems quite apt for a last post here, on a blog I defined as “sharing stuff I’m learning as I go”, to say: I’ve learned that I’m not really good at compartmentalising and that trying to keep separate blogs for different purposes just isn’t the way for me.

If you’d like to keep reading my posts, come on over to my nice new blog, and click the “follow” button.

Google Plus

Google+ is great but there’s no archiving system there, you can’t easily find old posts, so I’m going to use this post to accumulate useful links for G+ newbies.

Trying to help isn’t always helpful

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a person is not to keep trying to help them, but to refer them to someone else who really can help.

I was going to write something about staying focused but I got distracted

It was a comment on my previous post that got me thinking about this. I do sometimes long for the days of the typewriter, when I could sit down and type something without a zillion other things vying for my … Continue reading →

Why I don’t think I can computerise my to do list

had been wondering about this recently, as so far I haven’t really managed to create a system that works for me long-term – every now and again I’ve started a new notepad or something where I would jot down each … Continue reading →

Reasons why it’s easier to upset people online #37.4

not trying to cover all the reasons here, just one that I’ve just twigged about: we don’t see the other person’s face, so we don’t see how hurt they are. it’s the total opposite of those computer games where people … Continue reading →
