In my pursuit of getting things done, I’ve been trying to implement the GTDTiddlyWiki for use at work to keep all my shit in order.
The problem with it? The firm will only allow IE (*gag*) on my work machine, and the tech guys will know if I have “unauthorized software” on my machine. The “only IE” is important because of the bugs and pain in the assedness of running the wiki on IE.
Long story short – it does not work. At all. It works brilliantly in Firefox.
(My rant about not being able to use Firefox is for a whole other post.)
I’ve been geeking out and reading up on the whole “portable” programs being used on a USB stick drive. And for the longest time, there was a program called PortableFirefox that will run on a USB stick and be able to skirt any hardware/software firewall issues. Sweet.
Problem is, it was for PC only – I needed to be able to go back and forth from my PC at work and my Mac at home.
I noticed on Digg that someone developed the PortableFirefox for the Mac!
Works great…better than great. I loooove Firefox.
Now I noticed that there are other programs for the “portable” media: Thunderbird, Sunbird, OpenOffice! I think I may have to check into that too.
I’m such a geek.

I think The Widget should be in the links section. Congrats on being the only female listener as well

Yes, but geekiness in a chick is sexy
