Three things.

  • I need a better RSS reader.  I’m using Google Reader presently and it’s ok but I would like something that allows sub-tagging so that I could navigate through paper->arxives->probability or something like that.  Intersections and unions of tags would be alright but I really just need to hide most of my tags so sub-tagging is pretty much key.  Also, the process of adding rss feeds could be more stream-lined.  My reader list is getting pretty messy.  I’m slightly afraid of it.  Better just stick to the comics section.
  • Citeulike is nice but I still haven’t yet found a way to automatically export bibliographies with selected options.  You can grab a bibtex file from http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/<username> but you can’t seem to select options.  Not a huge deal at the moment but soon when I have a script to run my *entire day* it may become important.
  • I was thinking of using Twitter for sms-posting names of people that I meet (and whose name I want to remember).  I seem to have a really, really hard time with names and sometimes it’s pretty important for businessy stuff.   When I say it like that, it almost justifies it.  Yeah, twitter.  It’s alright.  It’ll be useful.  Yeah. useful.
