It’s funny to watch the peaks and valleys

I go from not posting at all, to posting a ton.  Then drop off again consistantly.  I suppose my stats would spike more if I continually updated.  I think part of the problem is I want to take the time to effectively write whatever I post here, but sometimes that holds me back.  You know, life gets busy, etc.  I’d be interested to look at my past history of the last 5 years of webninja and see what my posting frequency is based on month.  Perhaps I post more in the winter?  This seems like a common theme for people I know.  We’ll post every now and then in spurts.  Maybe I’ll change that eventually, who knows.

I think part of the issue is ease of use.  I’d love to post images more but that requires opening up photoshop, tweaking any images I want, saving it, then uploading it to an ftp.  It’d be nice to have a screen capture application that has borders, does cropping, resizing, and saves directly to ftp.

I’ve been experimenting with better ways to organize my digital life and get things done faster.  For example one application, Launchy.  It’s much like QuickSilver but on PC.  Thus far it’s pretty useful.  In short it indexes certain things like applications, and directories you configure it to, then those are accessible by pulling up it’s search screen with the windows key and space (also definable).

Then once you find what you’re looking for, hit enter and its loading.  You can also add certain triggers, for example you could create one that would allow you to type yt dramatic squirrel and having it automatically search youtube for a dramatic squirrel.

Anyways, beyond that, I have a bunch of really exciting coding projects I’ve been working on which I’ll be sharing here soon hopefully and with Brandon leaving, I’ll need someone to share them with.
