Change…

tfserna — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:07:23 +0000

While I realize that it isn’t reasonable for me to expect at this point for this blog to keep any readership after my erratic blogging behavior, still manners oblige, so -and just in case: Dear all, When I started this blog back in July 2006 my main objectives at the time were: (…) “to force/discipline myself to [...]

blogs are back!

didn’t you hear? [testing MarsEdit v. 2.3.3 on Snow Leopard]

twitter

Contrary to what would appear, this blog hasn’t been abandoned. Please see the twitter feed below (at the front page). I think twitter has changed the way I approach blogging. It hasn’t quite substituted it, though by means of its ‘instant satisfaction’, it sure has diminished the need to write ‘long’, if you will, posts. But though it [...]

Vacation time… hobbies…

tfserna — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:58:04 +0000

Aside from long walks by the seaside and reading, one of my favourite activities during summer time is to delve a little further into the myriad of apps I’ve bought over time, play around with them, and try to gain a little more expertise in order to hopefully learn how to make better use of [...]

Notes

tfserna — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:32:59 +0000

Reading the last few entries of this blog, it could argued that I’m fixating a little bit with notes, note taking and what you could call note keeping, information farming, information retrieving… Not surprisingly, the subject seems to be a popular one. Brighter people than me have devoted a lot of time thinking, researching and writing [...]

OneNote joy

tfserna — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:57:12 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how it appeared to me that the new ‘Evernote‘ had rendered my previous OneNote setup unnecessary. While I still think that the new incarnation of Evernote has been a huge step forward in many respects… it turns out its not quite there yet. I’ll say upfront that the mac [...]

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

tfserna — Sun, 04 May 2008 12:49:55 +0000

A couple of Sundays ago, I found at the WSJ what I thought was a very nice review of Truman Capote’s delightful ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. I love the movie and ever since I watched it for the first time I’ve been platonically in love with Audrey Hepburn. Long before I started to grasp how Miss Golightly [...]

‘Little Red Riding Hood’

tfserna — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:07:31 +0000

This week has been a lot of fun. Both on the professional as well as on the personal side. On professional grounds, it started with two very interesting events/conferences over data protection (privacy). Yes, I know what you are thinking… but trust me, I had a lot of fun. I’ll be writing over those soon at BlogEuropa.eu. The [...]

Moving time! (yeah, once again…)

tfserna — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:05:07 +0000

On late December 2007 it was time for me to move this blog from my its original location to a new home. As I had a lot on my plate, I needed something quick and painless. The most natural choice for me was WordPress.com. Should anyone not know, the makers of the truly excellent software that [...]

Evernote joy

tfserna — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:32:02 +0000

Up until yesterday I had been longing for what I thought was the only way of accessing my handwritten notes on my mac. See, four months ago I finally found the time for implementing somewhat of an overkill… a really nice setup for having on my mac an always available copy of my handwritten notes in [...]

Mr. Buffet makes it to the ‘Cool Quotes’ page

tfserna — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 09:50:53 +0000

Warren E. Buffet published yesterday his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway’s investors. I stumbled upon the sentence you’ll find at the ‘Cool Quotes‘ page, halfway across it… (page 18) I started reading them on 2002. I lament I didn’t start earlier…

Private Blogging (a.k.a. Journaling)

tfserna — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:05:50 +0000

Yours truly wanted to return to blogging from this brand new home in a proper fashion… Nothing too fancy, but perhaps with a post introducing one or two of the really big things/changes (for the very best), that we have been dealing with recently. The truth is that for the last six months I have continuously [...]
