Customised Applications for Mobile network Enhanced Logic

I am currently reading up on CAMEL/CAP/GSM/SS7 concepts. It has been a while since I have done anything in this area having been concentrating on SIP for so long. This is all part of AePONA's Network Gateway project.

It's nice to get to grips with something different.

Getting Things Done (BETA) system in place

Well, I have set up my first iteration of a GTD system. I have based it on another guy's system as documented in his blog . So a big thank you to him.

I have tweaked the system though and I am using the website RememberTheMilk to handle my action lists. The original suggestion was to use Google Notebook but although it is still available for use, Google have deprecated it and will not be supporting it going forward.

So, my beta system is in place. I have no doubt there will be the initial teething problems and things will get refined along the way but it is good to have a GTD system up and running in the office. I still have to do the same at home though!

Getting Things Done

I have started reading David Allen's Getting Things Done (to add to my reading list).

It seems the GTD system is well thought of. I will give it a go once I am finished reading.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubunut 9.10

This morning I shall be attempting a network upgrade of my laptop using the following link.

Any problems shall be noted and recorded for posterity.

An online wiki

I have decided to choose Zoho.com to act as the host for my wiki page. I have been using kjots as an extended notepad application in my job as a software developer. It has proved very useful but I would like to have access to my notes from any web-enabled device and not just my desktop at the office.

I had a quick look around and it seemed my choices were:-
1) Set up a machine to act as a server and host my own wiki.
2) Put my wiki on a USB stick
3) Simply replace kjots with a wiki on my desktop at the office
4) Find an online wiki hosted by another website.

3) was immediately ruled out. 1) was too much like hard work. 2) always ran the risk of getting lost.

Hence I chose the last option. Zoho.com has been chosen. Let's see how it goes.

New reading material

Back to the following reading material now

1) C++ for Dummies

2) C++ Coding Standards - 101 Rules, Guidelines and Best Practices

As stated on November 18, the first is being read as its never a bad idea to go back over
the basics once in a while - you never know what you missed.

The second book is being read as it comes highly recommended by colleagues.
