No need for a dual screen...

Do you feel that pain in your neck ? Right on the same side as your second screen ?

Now what’s on that screen :

• iChat
• VLC
• a PDF opened three days ago that you haven’t start to read
• …

I know the digital legend tells that you work 33.3333% faster with a second screen but I’ve just removed my second screen a week ago and I feel so focused ! It’s really great.

Just try, you may be surprised by the result !

Say Hi to Highrise !

I’ve been seduced by Highrise last week. The freelance pricing plan just winked at me…

It’s a bit tricky to “track my communications”, I mean, communication is like my main activity.

But let’s be pragmatic, it’s friday 8pm, my phone stopped ringing, my inbox is empty. I think it’s quite a success considering my workload at the moment !

But there is something better, a killer feature… it’s not the nice CRM/GTD concept, it’s not the fact that my week end is safe…

See, my Highrise dropbox is under the name “Highrise” (yes, I know, I’m a really creative mind). And every time I forward or bcc an email to my highrise…. I just say hi ! Mail completes the rest…

It's an iLife after all

It’s funny how one thing leading to another I’ve found myself with

• an iMac
• an MacbookAir
• an iPhone
• a .Mac account

I’m surely a fanboy, but it feels so comfy ! Everything is synced up, everything has a shiny aluminum case, everything just fits me…

But tonight, I’m kinda scared… I was working with my fellow freelance Fabien, his Apple TV was showing pictures : a ski trip, a trip to Vienna…

boom !

Suddenly it was clear, these pictures look like Apple commercials !

I think I’m just living the iLife.
