Not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but I want the info to be available to anyone who needs it. And the original site where it was posted seems to be defunct. That said, this article is not my own work, but rather a copy of what was previously posted [...]

Bookmarks and tagging
Last month when I heard the news that my favorite bookmarking tool, Google Notebooks, was being discontinued I panicked. I used Google Notebook all the time for everything from notes to bookmarks. And having my notes and bookmarks available to me at all times and on any computer I am using is a must. I [...]
LifeStream
Ok, I just added a new plugin to my page called LifeStream. It’s basically a way to build yourself a kind of current events wall of all your activities on the web. Since most social networking sites these days provide an RSS feed, this plugin compiles all the RSS feeds you give it and provides [...]
Syncing Gmail and Thunderbird

New Site
I just created a new site for me and the fiance. On July 4th, 2009 we will be married and she will come to Florida to live with me forever! I love her so much,that I had to create a website just for the two of us. Check it out www.jamieandkierra.com
New family site

Update
I’ve had pretty limited Internet access recently. So there hasn’t been a lot of activity on this site. But my internet situation should change soon. Meanwhile, my family members have been active in posting to the family website. So feel free to check out the pics there. www.Barrows-Family.com
Playing with twitter
With twitter getting so much attention on the web these days, I thought I should check it out. So I went ahead and created a twitter account. It’s kind of cool. A lot like the status message on MySpace or Facebook. Not really all that different actually. One cool thing is that you can update [...]

Thought I would give everyone an update on what has been going on with my project. I spent most of my holiday vacation days working on the installer and a website for the project. So the whole missions project is now hosted out at www.MissionDisk.com There is still lots of work to be done, but [...]
