As of now, it looks great!  I&#8217;ve had all kinds of problems with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dantz.com\/en\/products\/macpersonal.dtml\">Retrospect<\/a> Express from Dantz that came with my external Maxtor drive.  Scheduled scripts never seem to run right and they start at arbitrary times.  I had the exact same problems with Retrospect Backup on two different Macs and I&#8217;m done with trying.  <a href=\"http:\/\/psyncx.sourceforge.net\/\">PsyncX<\/a> is priced right (free) and looks like it should do a great job.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve also been experimenting with using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omnigroup.com\/applications\/omnioutliner\/\">OmniOutliner<\/a> for my task\/project\/etc. list.  It&#8217;s not perfect for the GTD method, but it is extremely easy to enter data and pretty customizable.  Right now I just have to get it all out of my head somehow, and this is working great for now.  OmniOutliner is really nice program, both in looks and functionality&#8211;they really know how to do OS X.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marcusvorwaller.com\/weblog\/images\/DistanceEducationFramework.png\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.marcusvorwaller.com\/weblog\/images\/DistanceEducationFramework.png','popup','width=576,height=693,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0');return false\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marcusvorwaller.com\/weblog\/images\/DistanceEducationFramework-tm.jpg?resize=83%2C100\" height=\"100\" width=\"83\" border=\"1\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Distanceeducationframework\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>At school I&#8217;m taking a class on distance education.  Last night we were asked to create a framework for distance education in Powerpoint or something similar.  It was a quick project, based off work we&#8217;d done in class, but one that I think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omnigroup.com\/applications\/omnigraffle\/\">OmniGraffle<\/a> was perfect for.  This is what I came up with.  I know I sound like a salesman for the Omni Group, but really.. they&#8217;re a great company :).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis could almost be four different posts, but I&#8217;ve found that while I&#8217;m cleaning out my Bloglines subscriptions, the type of blogs I like best aren&#8217;t those that post 20 times a day like Scoble, Instapundit and others.  My favorites are low(er) volume blogs, anywhere from under 3 posts a day to a post once a week, where you know most of the time you&#8217;ll get something decent.  I&#8217;ve unsubscribed to almost all high volume websites in favor of picking a few that are either narrowly focused on the information I want or generally focused but only post when it&#8217;s something really good.  How would this blog fit into that spectrum?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had PsyncX on my desktop for a couple months now and I&#8217;ve been meaning to give it a try.
