Exclusive First Look: The New DIRECTV DVR | PVRblog

Over at the PVRblog they're talking about the new DirecTV DVR (the replacement for the Tivo). While I'm interested in the new HD capabilities, I think I'm emotionally attached to the idea of "tivo" and am not looking forward to a replacement. It may even be a lot better but I very much have a resistance to a replacement.
What great marketing.

That being said, I wouldn't mind more hard drive space. I just haven't had a compelling reason to make a change.

Confused about ActiveWords

I don't get it.
ActiveWords seems like a great/good program that does what it is supposed to do... However, I just don't understand why it gets so much "press" (blog entries).
I use Macro Express from www.macros.com and it seems to do basically the same thing. There's scripting and there's action recording. I use hundreds of short cut keys for names and obscure e-mail addresses that I use often.
When writing documentation I often create a short key for the project title and I've got on that includes my conference/bridge line information along with some 'fill in the blank' items that should be in every meeting invite... Regardless of all that, it was cheap to buy - I think it was about 39 dollars - and has a similar feature set as ActiveWords. So, I just don't understand why it doesn't get more attention.

I don't have time to read this whole thing right now but thought I'd post so that I could share with my dad who is also looking to implement GTD.

Baarns Publishing: Excel Product- The Excel On-Line Experience - Microsoft Office Superstore

Baarns Publishing: Excel Product- The Excel On-Line Experience - Microsoft Office Superstore

New Excel Blog.

Excel is easily the office product I use the second most - (Outlook is first).

John Walkenbach just launched a blog on the upcoming release of Excel 12.

Excel Watch - "The purpose of this blog is to provide a central source for information about the next version of Excel."

Awesome idea, and considering the Office 12 preview site appears to have been forgotten already and still lacks an RSS feed, I'll for sure be tuning in to John's feed.

"Time Management with PDAs"

"Time Management with PDAs": "Today Plugins: WisBar Advance 2 (does too much for my simple mind to
describe, but I sure recommend you try it to see all it can do). The
only other one I would recommend would be PItoday. I shy away from
Today plugins because they generally slow your device down or gobble
more memory than they're worth, but PItoday is an exception. It doesn't
take much memory and offers a lot. The same with WisBar Advance 2
(technically not a plugin, but a shell enhancement)."
