If you follow this blog for a while, you must know how much I like Microsoft OneNote for Windows. I consider it a very helpful tool for brainstorming and notetaking, and being a to-do list addict, I decided to give it a go and try to keep my work to-dos in it, using its built-in tag system.
Well, I don’t know if I did something wrong and broke the thing, but it seems that OneNote is not suitable for keeping tracks of to-dos.
Why?
I created a list of notes and added a tag of “To-do” (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-1) to each of them. Then I added a bunch of custom tags, added some more todos, added my custom tags to them. So far so good.
I decided to give the “Tag Summary” page a go, and I saw in satisfaction that I could see all my to-dos from all my notebooks grouped by tag name, conveniently shown there. I thought wow, that’s cool.
Now you see the to-dos…
Then I marked one of the to-dos (simple to-dos, not my custom tagged notes) as done. Refreshed the tag summary, and tada! All my to-dos are gone. What the f?
…now you don’t!
Is it how it’s supposed to work? Marking a single to-do as done marks the whole group? What’s happening here, can anyone enlighten me?

Horizontal scrolling is tricky. It’s a relatively new idea in web design, but its peculiar character restricts it to portfolio and art sites. Most users won’t even see the scrollbar down below, not to mention that all of them will think that it’s there because of a peculiar layout error.
Horizontal scrolling is very fitting for the portfolio of mr. Eric Ryan Anderson though. Entering the page, you’re greeted with nice big stills, a sample of his portfolio, that make your eye wander to the right, and not to the bottom. I like this approach, even though I’d prefer to have a floating “back” link of some sort at the bottom (right now, you can only go back to the start by clicking on the link at the far right):
EricRyanAnderson.com simple horizontal portfolio site
The photos are crisp, the colour theme helps, the typography is nice, but I’d lose the peculiar logo symbol next to the name, it doesn’t add much to the style, on the contrary.
EricRyanAnderson.com is a nice, clean portfolio site, without the horrific Flash and the hullaballoo of other similar sites.

OK I admit it: I became too dependant on an online service for my blogging. Like, too dependant.
37signals services are down at the moment, and with them all my blogging ideas, stored securely in my “@Blog” Backpack page. Shoot!
37signals is down *snif*
At least those guys (whom I adore) have gone ahead and informed us with a nice mini-live blogging thingie with what’s wrong, in detail. Oh 37signals, how I adore thee.
37signals, outage, down, backpack
