When my son was born in October 2005 I began to think about how little I knew about my parents past. What were they like when they were younger, how did they feel when I was born, where did they live, who were their friends, etc... So I started to think about my own life in a timeline. I started piecing together information in different categories - where I went to school, where we lived growing up, events in my life, travel, occupation, etc... After gathering all the information I began to put it into a timeline so I developed these blank templates for making my timeline and I thought I would share them with others interested in timelining so they could benefit from them.

Due to other commitments and the fact I cannot be bothered writing anything more witty this month TeamPlanner brings you the Bertrand Russell tribute guide to: "Buying a fountain pen properly"...

Ah sir, if I were a fool, a flapdoodle, a jester I would walk into any famous office supply emporium and demand that they sold me a Bic Crystal of the highest calibre. But no sir! I am a man of the highest intellect and demand a pen to prove it.

As a schoolboy, there were very few fountain pens with rigid nibs, and most 'affordable' pens still had screw on caps. (You have to bear in mind there was an expectation that one would provide one's own pen and not rely on one's parents to buy them for you.) They leaked, they cracked, and crossed nibs were a common sight. Most were scratchy too. There is noting romantic about these fountain pens, yet once mastered the flow of beautiful writing was incredible....

Keep contact info handy with this Quick Contacts 2-Sided refill for my ThinkCreateSolve 6-ring set.

This fits 10.8cm x 17.15cm (or 4.25in x 6.75in for those of you in the USA) "Day-Runner" and other brands.

Included are:

- An OmniGraffle document with each side of the refill on separate canvases (Left-Page / Right-Page)

- A "3-Up Letter" (3uL) OmniGraffle document which prints 3 of these to a Letter-sized sheet, double-sided, with minimal paper waste. This requires a borderless-capable printer, preferably with a duplexer (you could also do it manually)

- A PDF which will print 2 refills to a Letter-sized sheet on any inkjet or laser. Again, a duplexer is handy.

I have a very long French name and I got tired of spelling it out only to have it mispelled anyway. So I made this card and now my name is not mispelled anymore. Ygor pointed out a booboo, so I fixed it.

Hi, my name is Sara, and I am an Internet addict. (Shocked?) Some days I have no idea what I’m looking for or where I will find it. I know there is some site out there that will be a valuable resource. The exploring is half the fun. The other half is discovering a website that hits the spot. At first glance, this little website lacks the pizzazz of a major discovery. However, I assure you that this gem should not be overlooked. The usefulness of gtd.marvelz.com may not be evident at first. After all, another blog is just another blog, right? Wrong.

Having recently finished reading through David Allen’s Getting Things Done, I can relate to much of what this blog discusses. The author writes “…[I]t has changed my life in small and big ways. This blog is my attempt to share some of my experiences concerning GTD with you.” The entries began in January of 2007. My initial visit consisted of reading through the author’s blog entries. It was reassuring to discover that my beginnings with GTD were not dissimilar.

It was a chance meeting; a case of the right place at the right time. I was sitting at my desk at work, not looking for love, when I meandered my way into its richly informative pages. There was instantaneous chemistry. I was looking for information and it responded to my every whim. I was love-struck from the first day, just two weeks ago.

Imagine my surprise to hear that www.lifehacker.com may be one of the sites that is commonly “taken for granted.” If you are one of the site’s frequent visitors, you may know much of what is coming. Perhaps this SpotLink will rekindle your relationship. If you have never visited or searched the site in depth, the following may be enough to spark a new love affair. (Don’t worry; I’m not the jealous type).

“Computers make us more productive. Yeah, right. Lifehacker recommends the software downloads and web sites that actually save time. Don’t live to geek, geek to live.” ~Quote from Lifehacker.com.
