In my ongoing quest to find a true alternative to Microsoft Exchange, I've recently tried out Toodledo and Remember the Milk.
I’ve been going through the massive box of “important papers” that I’ve collected over the last few years. This box includes financial documents, homework assignments, random sketches and even a folder full of sticker that I know I’ll never use, but I’ve never been able to convince myself to throw away. I happened to read one of the homework assignments because I couldn’t figure out what class. After reading it, I decided it was one of the best things I’ve ever written. It’s definitely rough around the edges and I’m not entirely sure I agree with my point any more, b
I created a fan page at Facebook for Ian W. Remmel Design. For now, it's primarily for testing out ways to integrate Drupal sites with facebook, but expect to see posts there (and here) about my projects.
It's time I admitted it. The Insight Project was too big for one person and during the time I was working on it, the world passed it by. In order to truly make it a viable competitor to everything else out there, it would need an iPhone version and an Android version, it would need to reproduce all of Exchange's capabilities, it would need to traverse both UPNP and non-UPNP firewalls, and do a host of other things that I simply don't have time to make it do. Moreover, with the recent changes to Hotmail, it fills a hole that is no longer quite so in need of filling.
As many of the people who read this site know (which, according to Google analytics, is approximately 6), I recently spent 10 days in London. While there, I took a lot of pictures. I'm pretty sure I took close to 1500 and my mom took another 1000 or so. The better pictures are now posted here. Initially, I'd been using the Image module and its included Image Gallery and Image Import modules to manage the pictures on this site.
Well, it's just about noon and we're supposed to be leaving tomorrow around 10 AM. We just attempted to check-in to our flight online via the KLM web site. After opening the "You can now check in" email and clicking on the check-in link, we received the response:

Today was an amazing day. As usual, we ate breakfast at the hotel (I don't think I mentioned this before: the bacon here is awesome). Then, we headed to the London Eye. We ate lunch at the Sherlock Holmes Pub before visiting the Tower of London. Finally, we spent the rest of the day at the Mayor's Thames Festival, which ended with an amazing parade and fireworks. I found myself geeking out repeatedly throughout the day.
We spent today doing another bus tour (like the Cotswolds, not like the double-decker busses). Again, very early, but the stops were pretty cool, well, two of them. Our first stop was Windsor Castle, which was the one I liked the least. Then, we at lunch and went to Stonehenge. Finally, we visited Bath before the three hour bus ride back to London.
