Not bad after 8 years.

I used to use the Kinkless kGTD tool developed by Ethan Schoonover. It was a great tool and since it was integrated with Omni Outliner it was a perfect fit for me as a Omni Outliner user.

When Ethan announced that he was no longer going to continue working on kGTD I was a bit bummed until I heard that kGTD was getting rolled into a new product from OmniGroup called OmniFocus. I was once more excited.

Unfortunately it has been approximately 8 months and 3 weeks since the announcement of OmniFocus and other than a few movies, a few screenshots, and a demo at the Apple Store during WWDC we still don't even have a public alpha only a closed, limited beta. At this rate we might see Internet Explorer 7 for OS X before we'll see OmniFocus.

As I can't continue to use the kGTD tools anymore (no updates etc) and since OmniFocus appears to be a very distant horizon I'm making the move to iGTD.

And this is the reason.

Comcast Triple Play is much faster.

I'll be blogging more and more often over at the Damage Studios site. I will be primarily blogging about Drupal and Open Source in general.

Here's a link to the feed.

Fedora 7 (Moonshine) is now out to the general public.

This release includes significant new versions of many key components and technologies:

• This release features GNOME 2.18 and KDE 3.5.6.
• Fast user switching is well integrated in this release. Developers have enabled this feature through extensive development work on ConsoleKit and full integration throughout the distribution.
• Display devices can be hot plugged and work automatically, thanks to the inclusion of Xorg Server 1.3.
• This release provides a number of firmware packages for enhanced wireless networking. NetworkManager presents a graphical interface that allows user to quickly switch between wireless and wired networks for increased mobility. NetworkManager is installed by default in both GNOME and KDE Live CDs.
• Fedora 7 includes a refreshing new "Flying High" theme, which is part of a continuous team effort from the community and the Fedora Artwork Project:
• This release features integration of a new FireWire stack in the kernel for more robust device handling.
• Fedora now includes improved power management through implementation of dynamic ticks in the kernel.
• This release integrates Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology with Fedora's graphical virt-manager and command-line virsh tools. KVM provides a hardware accelerated virtualization solution, and users have a choice between KVM and Xen, along with Qemu, in this release.
