Quick: JapanBlogger; Nipponster; JapanLabs; JapanSoc; & playing catch-up

On October 17, 2008 in Suggestions Please

Not much time to post today, so just a quick one.

1) JapanBlogger.net is back up! Yay!

2) I changed the text on the nipponster homepage to read “Japan-specific search.”

3) JapanLabs. Thanks Nick for mentioning it. I will be talking more about some ideas I have for it soon. But to give a preview, I am hoping that in the tech support section we can maybe discuss code (wordpress code for example)/how to develop our webpages to our liking (maybe we can help each other with this); other types of collaboration, etc.

4) JapanSoc - looks like it’s out of read-only mode. So I guess Nick was able to make the leap to a new virtual private server. Here’s hoping it was a smooth move and Jsoc will be super-fast hereafter.

5) Playing catchup… I haven’t taken my email inbox down to zero in about 1.5 weeks. That means I have many comments that I haven’t replied to, that I need to reply to! :(

I hope I can catch up quickly.

How is your week going?

    Hey Tori, take a look at http://www.swifttodolist.com/ . The online version opens up new possibilities for group collaboration. Could be fun!

    P.S. Yep, JapanSoc is on the VPS now and all is well.

  2. Nick Ramsay Said,

    I just registered for http://www.rememberthemilk.com instead.

  3. The Chemist Said,

    Hey Nick, how are you liking RememberTheMilk?
    I’ve started using it again recently too. But I only use it to organise my to dos. I collect them in to-do-pads/notebooks (because ideas come to mind when I’m not near a computer) and then put them on RTM later.
    The brilliant thing about RTM is that you can tag them and then order them however you like. So if you are working on japan-related gadgets one day you just do a combination search for “japan-related” and ‘gadgets.” You can even save that search as a list (which becomes a tab at the top of RTM)!
    Technology!! :)

  4. Nick Ramsay Said,

    Still using it, but I don’t have enough to-dos to make search lists :-P . I do use tags though, and think RTM is the bees knees!
