My bulleting

How I mark bullets in planner/lecture books.  "When type" is nothing by this time.  I try to match to appropriate-looking characters on keyboard -- just in case.


When typeWhen writeUse for
_[_] squareto-do entry: needs later checking for progress/completion.
=/\ normal trianglemilestone, scheduled-ahead event: may need checking
+\/ revert triangleincident, interruption
-> right-arrow trianglenormal entry: doesn't need later reviewing.

Progress marking for to-do & milestone entries:
  • . (dot) = Started: put at lower-left corner so that it can be / or X later.
  • / = Done
  • X = Aborted, canceled.  Also compare with '0' (zero).
  • - (dash) = Skipped: neither action nor decision yet.
  • \ = Moved to another tracking system
  • ^ (north-east arrow when write) = Forwarded/postponed: same system (such as another page)

Change Twitter's bio (public account)

From: "A frontier cat learns public/social-shareable writing".
One reason is that I start connecting more professionals (outside) and colleagues (company inside).

Solutions to log chat history

Reason: Although Y!Messenger provides option to save chat history, it saves in local machine: i.e., we don't get chat messages received while being with office PC when open home PC at night.
(I no experience with recent Live Messenger)

Solutions
a) If a message is short, tweet direct message.
b) If Twitter is insufficient (length limit), post to a personal blog.

GMail search: Stars elsewhere

is:starred -in:inbox
I set this as one pane of multiple-inboxes. Later I feel that it is not truly practical: I'd rather check them from "Starred" tab no matter they are still in Inbox or not.

My top feature requests to Google GMail/GCal

Re: Rosemary, "Google Pilot: Survey on Top 10 Feature Requests" >> https://vovici.com/wsb.dll
  • Remove calendar invitation from the Inbox once it is added to calendar
  • Ability to see size of an email
  • Ability to add email addresses, which are not in the My Contacts list, to a group manually
  • Ability to request a return receipt when a recipient has opened your email
  • Setting a priority on an email that is sent out
  • Selecting and forwarding more than 1 email at a time
  • Ability to delete an attachment from an email or conversation thread while leaving the rest of the email(s) intact
  • Access to the global directory/shared contacts in order to change phone numbers or other personal information
  • Ability to send a chat to a group of people
  • Better use of space on right side of email window by moving menu options (New window, Print all, etc.)
  • Rich text editing capability for calendar entry 
Ending comment
Header part would be better optimised:-
- Unnecessarily lengthened: "Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@domain.com>" -- any Labs' tweak to display shortname/nickname?
- [show details] would be icon button to save space.
- Or better 2 lines to cover necessary brief.

Nokia contact-group naming

Previously I used '#' prefix so that groups are placed at beginning of contacts list. Now (6710 Navigator) system skips all symbolic characters except currency signs.

Last try: ":_(!?*@~^+.|/% test"
