  • Some Interesting History: Entebbe

    +

    I found the following article on the "Entebbe Operation" pretty interesting reading from a historial and political perspective. More via Wikipedia.

    As a Cold War history buff, I wish a similar in-depth article was written to expand on this short blurb about CIA efforts in Istanbul in the 1980s.

  • Del.icio.us Links in RSS Feed

    A couple of days ago I started adding my del.icio.us feeds into my RSS feed after I figured out from Douglas Welch that it was a check box option in Feedburner.  Both Douglas and Eric Rice have been doing it for a while and I enjoy see what they tag vs. blog.

    Chad Dickerson also recently turned on his del.icio.us feed into his RSS stream.

    I think the feature is pretty cool.

  • MindManager – Task Status Tracking?

    August 3, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I went looking for a feature that I use to remember using in Mindjet MindManager but I’m not sure if it got deleted or moved from Version 5 to Verison 6, or if I just can’t find the feature.

    The function I was looking is a minor subst of what Result Manager does, but it seemed like it was built-in to MindManager.  I would bring up a map, and I thought run something from the Tools menu that would walk me through all the outstanding tasks in the current MindMap.  Like a task review.

    I’ve searched on the Help both internal and on the the Net but haven’t turned up anything.

    Suggestions?!?
