New Years Resolutions

Tagged:  

So, it seems that everyone is making their new years resolutions around about now, I guess its my turn. In no particular order.

  • Get back into serious weight training, at least to the level I was before my shoulder injury two years ago (Type III Separated shoulder from a bad rugby tackle).
  • Implement more parts of GTD.
  • Completely use productivity tools for my professional work in the form of bug trackers for bugs and feature requests, daily logging of activity and more SCRUM principals.
  • Graphs with CurrentCost and RRDTool

    To carry on my initial education with the CurrentCost unit, last night I played around a little with RRDTool using Paul Mutton's tutorial. I must say I'm pretty impressed with the outcome.

    CurrentCost and Ubuntu

    Tagged:  

    I received my CurrentCost unit today from the Eco Gadget Shop. I'm impressed with their service, it only took a few days to arrive. Anyway, as soon as I unpacked the unit and installed the cable grip, it was time to have a play.

    As any self-respecting Linux geek would do, the first thing I did was try to hook the unit up to my Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex box. Theres quite a bit of information out there on logging the data that the CurrentCost unit spits out but most of it tends to lean towards the Windows/Mac OS X side or concentrates on the serial port interface of the older cables. What I wanted was a Linux and USB serial cable solution.

    ScribeFire

    I've just installed ScribeFire to my Firefox browser to make it easier to blog. So far I'm pretty impressed to say the least. There are not that many blogging tools out there that integrate well with Drupal but ScribeFire is one of them. Well worth checking out if you have a Drupal, or any other kind of blog.
