I find a lot of stuff along the way (go looking for 1 thing, find 20 other things I am not looking for, but there 99.99% intresting)-thunder7 (October 28, 2006, 02:12 AM)
Life is very complex. There are so many things to take care of in the course of the day. Imagine, however, if there was no semblance of order to our day. Upon waking one morning, we would see our clothes strewn across the floor, books and papers piled up everywhere, without arrangement or purpose. In addition, since there would be no plan for the day, we would not know what to do first. When we did take an action, it would be out of sequence - e.g. we might dress before we showered, or have our breakfast before brushing our teeth ...
Over the years we have seen that serious attempt to raise the level of cleanliness in our environment will not only produce physically pleasing results, but is also likely to attract sudden good fortune – in the form of more money, sales, opportunity, and other positive benefits. For example, one man got down on his hands and knees one day to clean out the grit and grime in his refrigerator. At the very instant he rose from that effort, he received a call notifying him that he had just secured several months of new work -- when only a moment earlier he had nothing scheduled for the future.
Individuals and organizations are regularly faced with the problem of deciding what to do with items that still may be useful but that they no longer want. They can also find themselves suddenly in need of an item without being financially capable of purchasing it. Gigoit, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in Saint Louis, Missouri. We are currently developing a free public web space for individuals and corporations to donate and receive unwanted items within their neighborhoods. This keeps useful products out of landfills and fosters community involvement.
GIGO is an acronym that stands for "garbage in- garbage out." Since many useful items may be on their way in to the local landfill to become garbage, we provide a method to distribute these items out to the local community. If you have an item that you no longer want we certainly hope that you Gigo-it!
We follow one simple rule: Everything is free!
All items posted on our site are free to pick up, and of course free to list. It’s free to register and you can use your account to check any zip code in the USA. We'll keep track of all your items and handle all your transactions. Our site will help you pick who is right for your item by providing a member profile complete with ratings and number of items they have given and received. You don't even need to use your personal email account unless you choose to. We handle everything.
Donate an item to your community. Simply enter your a title, description and up to three images and your done.
Receive an item from your community. Choose your zip code and how far you are willing to travel and we will show you what people have to offer.
Login and help keep useful products out of landfills and foster community involvement
It's old and very inexpensive now, plus it will run on a wide variety of systems - maybe even App's old WinME box.-JavaJones (October 21, 2006, 03:53 PM)

Ok, if it is a link and it's a prize, that means it has to refer to a site (or page) that you think the person will take great joy in finding/browsing. I think i know the perfect page for that! Click here!!-jgpaiva (October 19, 2006, 05:16 PM)
I actually thought it would send me to a random page on your site, which I thought was kind of a cute idea. But prizes are good too.

Getting Software Done
by Robert Peake, David Allen Company
Since launching GTD Connect, we have gotten a lot of great feedback not only on the content, but on the technical underpinnings of the system we built to deliver the audio, video, forums, podcasts, and other goodies on the site. What a lot of people may not realize is that, to my mind, a lot of the elegance expressed in the technology that drives Connect stems from the fact that we implement and use the GTD methodology in our software development process. We really do “eat our own dog food” at DavidCo, and I’m convinced that necessarily translates to a more positive user experience overall in every product we produce, and especially software. A lot of people also don’t realize how highly relevant GTD is to the software development industry specifically, and how many interesting parallels there are between software best practices and workflow best practices (i.e. GTD).
So, I’d like to run through some of the relationships between GTD and developing software well, using the past eighteen months or so of building up GTD Connect from concept to reality. I’ll use our experience building Connect as a kind of case study to ground some of the concepts and ideas with practical examples. Having seen a range of tactics deployed in software development by other companies, I can definitely say that our outcome-oriented, GTD-inspired approach to building out the web applications that make GTD Connect work has been far and away the most functional and positive approach I’ve encountered so far. So, if any of these tips and tactics strike a chord with you, I encourage you to consider looking at how you might fold these concepts into your own project management — whether or not the project is software.
