The Skyline Meme

This is cool, a growing collection local skylines from around the world. Add the skyline in your area - I did! Many blogreaders have taken a liking to the Skyline Meme which I started last Wednesday. Just take a photo of your local skyline, blog it, link to the Skyline Meme Permalink & mail me your permalink so that I can link back to it here. I'm no photographer, just a lowly wordsmith who puts the occasional snapshot in his blog (usual over in the right sidebar someplace), but some blogreaders are so-called Photobloggers (a scene new to me) who...

Blogging tools reviewed

Neville has a great review of Blogjet and Ecto on his Blog "NevOn". These are "standalone" tools that help with composing and posting Blog articles. The strengths and weakness of each are discussed in detail. His comments about the changes planned for Blogjet Version 1.2 are promising. I tried Version 1 and the problem with category posting and lack of thumbnail pictures for TypePad were my only reservations. I will have a look at 1.2 when it arrives. Read more →

Grand Prix History

I found this today while Googling "duckworth building". Not what i was looking for (a building in Napier) but a wonderful site for anyone interested in Grand Prix; Past and present. Grand Prix History This website has been in existence since May 22, 1997 and for much of that time it has been a little known secret tucked in a small corner of the WWW. Lovingly constructed, it is still one of the few F1 sites that attempts to go beyond mere statistics and describe what it was really like. Read more →

Using MindManager Multi-map Search as an index

One of my favourite features in MindManager is the "Search Files" Tab. The MindManager Application, and free viewer, Search Files feature allows you to enter a word (text string) and search all the maps in a folder/Sub-Folder. Clicking on the result opens the correct map with the focus on the selected topic. In the example pictured a search for "Cycle" returned several results from three different maps. Clicking on a result opens the map at that topic. I'm using MindManager for CAD Standards and to the map complexity manageable I have split the Standard into topic based maps: · Design... Read more →
