Holes In Thoughts: Into the Flow

Into the Flow

I actually made a flow chart because I couldn't mentally picture my creative work flow.

Basically, it came down to a decision of where to put what. The upshot of all of it is that...

I'm considering ditching MySpace for Facebook, mostly because of spam.
I've started re-designing the blog. Obviously.

For photographs:
I decided to start using Flickr as an online photo gallery, in addition to the portfolio (i.e., the very best) on my homepage.
Adobe Lightroom is being used to sort, tag, and process all of my photos.
MySpace/Facebook will have more photos than the gallery, but less than Flickr.

For writing:
Everything gets posted onto the blog, then the best stuff gets filtered into parts of the homepage.

For music:
Demos go on the blog, with a few really, really good ones making appearances on the main page.

I also decided on the home inventory program I'll be using (Home Inventory Deluxe). It has the ability to attach images to objects, which is important because I'm going to start scanning receipts and taking pictures of stuff. I want to know that if anything's ever stolen or dies with a warranty, I'm gonna get it replaced without having to screw around.

It stands next to Microsoft Money (finances), Mp3BookHelper (.mp3 file tagging), my Treo 755p and MS Outlook (to-do, calendars, phone, mp3 player) in my efforts to get and stay organized.

Theoretically, I'm going to start using CarCare, but I'm waiting until we get moved in properly (and I have all my paperwork ready to enter), and I get a massive tune-up on the Bug so that I can reset all the maintenance reminders to zero.

I am still looking for a good groceries-and-recipes program, though I'm not sure either Rachel or I are ready to start cooking, really. I also hope Winamp has a better media library next time around (and I'll be plenty upset if they don't keep my ratings).

I have so much organizing to do... stuff to write... before I have kids and so on, you know?
