Nope, was unaware. Sorry...

Because people don't live according to his message right now, we make ourselves miserable by trying to repay the debts of other people's sacrifices for us. Rather, I would have it so we pay those debts forward to the next generation by enabling them to do what makes them happy, not holding them to some standard of what we think makes people happy just because we raised them or provided them with the means or money to do something they enjoyed.
The site was giving me database timeout errors so as more people wake up and hit the link, it'll surely crash.
Glad you made it work though :)
I don't know about you, but I never want to just be mediocre. I want to be really damn good at whatever it is I try. Even knowing that one of the greats could "come out of retirement" and still out-do me is not good enough for me. That's just patience resulting in complacency and mediocrity.
Then I saw he was from NC State, my Alma mater. And everything made sense again.
But there's no way to be certain because I can't make heads or tails of that spec page LoL.
The author of the article hasn't completely thought this through though. He's saying it's shit work which Facebook automates for you but then he goes on to say relationships are complicated and some people are in overlapping "circles."
He shoots himself in the foot right there. Facebook's auto-populated groups can't figure out the complicated nature of our relationships with people. I have many shades of friends and people who have varied interests even within those shades of friends. It's too hard for an algorithm to be able to deduce this very human aspect of relationships.
So if RTM is set as your default calendar, then all your Siri reminders go into your RTM calendar, which may not be your actual calendar of course.
And getting other services to use this same hack will result in users having to choose one service they prioritize over all others because you can only have one calendar.
Of course I am an Android guy and don't really know how Siri and all this is working - I'm just guessing based on the instructions provided at RTM's site on how to get this to work...
I said 10-12 tabs consistently - and by that I mean app tabs that remain open. The rest should be opened for research as needed AND THEN CLOSED WHEN FINISHED. For everything else that you need to consistently check updates on, you need to find a way to turn it into an RSS feed or Twitter feed or whatever that feeds into an existing tab for an app you already have open (e.g. Google Reader or your social media aggregator of choice).
This is not "my" way - this is the way of the human brain. You can't do that many things at once and you can't focus on that many things at once. You would be overwhelmed by 500 tabs of information...that's why most of us have 1 site where all our information aggregates and 1 email address where the rest forward and 1 cell phone rather than 5-6, etc. I'm saying that people that do this type of EXTREME tab browsing are inherently disorganized and lack focus and attention to anything they do.
Yeah, downvote it to hell, I really don't mind. If you do this on a regular basis though, I'd love to hear from you and how you feel about whether you are an organized individual and one who adequately focuses on the things that are important to you.
