		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia &#60;Update&#62; Soon after I hit the PUBLISH button, I received via email, the OpenOffice.org newsletter, with an extensive list of openoffice.org related blogs.&#60;/Update&#62; Although there is an abundance of information available at the official openoffice.org site regarding the usability and how to make openoffice.org, the free open productivity suite, work better for your needs, there are hidden treasures of information, tricks, and tips all over the place waiting to be discovered.  Here are some, in no particular order of importance or significance. The wordpress.com site. The trick here is to look for the tags you (or somebody else) assign to a post they publish in a wordpress.com blog.  Be as imaginative and creative as possible.  Use combinations of words.  For example, office, open, xml, lead to this page, while open, office, xml lead to this different page. Try other languages, too, and see where the hunt takes you  (if you are versed in that particular language).  For example, the same tags in german will lead you to another page, altogether. The sun.com site Try the sun.com site for openoffice guides and white papers.  After all, they are one of the largest contributors to openoffice.org and they still [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I was out shopping at my local computer shop when I spotted this moleskine-like hardcover journal. To the uninitiated, it may look like a moleskine.&#160; After all, it has the elastic band, the bookmark ribbon, even the backpocket (as you can see from the photos). Of course, the color is off and the feel of the paper is nothing like that of a moleskine.&#160; And did I mention that lack of plastic shrinkwrap?&#160; Some more clues about its true identity appear in the back. Rachael Hale is the name and a visit to that particular site reveals a variety of pretty looking animals and other assorted journals, stationery, gifts, cards etc.&#160; Still, I went ahead and bought it as it was ridiculously cheap for around 3 euros (as compared to the 15+ euros for a regular moleskine hardcover notebook.

		<description><![CDATA[If you use OpenOffice Writer a lot then you may find writertools very helpful. Writertools are a set of extensions for the Writer part of OpenOffice.org.  Released under GPL 2.0, they add another menu, appropriately named Writer&#8217;s Tools, between the original Tools and Window menus (photo below). You may have to trick writer tools a little bit in order to set up the internal database for words writertools use.  There is a FAQ, and more detailed instructions  available at the Lulu bookstore. Of course, writer tools work in both MS and linux boxes. In addition to the google code address, there is also a writer for writers blog for this set of tools which also contains some gems for openoffice. Dmitri Popov, the creator of the blog and the writer tools is also the author of this book: Writer for Writers and Advanced Users which is published using lulu, the self-publishing platform. It may be worth to try them out and see for yourself how to spice up writer in OpenOffice. Enjoy, I.

		<description><![CDATA[When I decided to take the plunge and switch this blog from blogger to wordpress, I heard the argument (actually, I read it somewhere ) that wordpress was the porsche of blog platforms. WordPress simply offered more choices and greater customization than blogger could offer to their respective users. Of course, the wordpress.com hosted blogs have some limitations in the plugins and widgets available, but that is understandable, although the ability to add some javascript would have been extremely nice In the process, I transfered and the anemologio blog to the same wordpress platfom. The real power of wordpress shows when you host your own blog somewhere else, on a separate server. I tried such approach and this is the result: open words, a new blog, a testing ground for various plugins. I like the process of downloading, unpacking, activating and then customizing the plugin. What seems still difficult for me is to find where to modify the settings and create just what I want. However, I believe the results really justify the characterization of porsche. More, simply by getting involved in setting up and maintaining a blog, you get a better picture of the social and personal potential of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[You must read &#8220;When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth&#8221; (link to full story text), a fantastic, and scary, and grab-you-by-the-throat, and not-want-to-let-it-until-it&#8217;s-over story authored by Cory Doctorow.  As Cory writes in his site, he started writing the story just as London was being bombed by terrorists in July 2005.  The story chronicles a doomsday scenario of end-of-the-world apocalypse, with massive attacks and counterattacks (everyone against everyone else) and the attempt of Toronto based sysadmins to keep their servers up and running in the midst of the attack.  The rebuilding of the democratic process, the first cyber elections, the restoration of life are all blended together.  The story earned the 2007 Locus Award for best novelette. My favorite excerpt: &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a 486 downstairs with over five years of uptime. It&#8217;s going to break my heart to reboot it.&#8221; &#8220;What the everlasting shit do you use a 486 for?&#8221; &#8220;Nothing. But who shuts down a machine with five years uptime? That&#8217;s like euthanizing your grandmother.&#8221; Please visit and read the story. I. Powered by ScribeFire. Related posts:Fuddenheim Back to you from &#8230; planet earth

		<description><![CDATA[Several postings I have looked at recently which, of course, all revolve around some of my favorite topics: analog or digital, moleskine/filofax or pda, writing etc. We start from this article from the american chronicle on writing tools authored by Bill Webb. Perhaps, the gist of the article is this sentence: They don&#8217;t have to be expensive, but they have to be &#8220;right&#8221;, referring to the quality of his writing instruments, and of course the moleskine notebook reigns supreme here. Some more ideas are presented at hyalineskies, while others argue in favor of more traditional pen-and-paper means.  The argument: it is cheap and does not need a change in batteries, it does not break and, of course, it makes other turn and give you the look.

		<description><![CDATA[As promised in the previous posting, here are some photos of the moleskines I use now: a pocket diary and a pocket notebook. As you can see, the diary on the left is in a much better condition than the notebook on the right. Also notice the little chip on the lower right corner of the notebook cover (which I cover with blue ink in a moment of un-creative frenzy), the start of the break on the spine (lower left corner of the notebook) and some of the junk that overflows from its pages. I actually took the little phonebook insert from the planner and stuffed it in the notebook. Here is a better picture, sort of. You can see the phonebok protruding from the back of the notebok, my blurred scribblings and post-it notes and the mandatory page-numbering in the upper right corner. After almost a year of intensive note-keeping, carrying and tossing around in pockets (I prefer the inside pocket of a jacket), it&#8217;s still functioning I. Powered by ScribeFire.

They are all in there: the must have&#8217;s, such as the palmtop, the notebook, the journal, the pen, the digital recorder/note-keeper, the better-writing-software and the must not have&#8217;s, such as the heavy laptop, the fancy journal, the creative writing software. Of course, moleskine journals/notebooks have the honor to be in both categories (as expected, of course).
