What this means is that it is available for you to see but never to move or change on accident. <br /><br />It acts as a Preference Pane Addition and is really one of my favorite tools I have on my Mac today. <br /><br />The funny little program allows you to place a file, an image, or a shell onto your desktop. <br /><br />The most useful of these being your shell. <br /><br />A shell is a piece of programming that activates and completes a small task for you. The two I use on my laptop are a To Do shell and a Calendar shell. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJksXFNWUi5mdxxBVMwcTii-byYHvo_aiDNaOU3Cboev26TE4Nx2GbG2aTNI7egNduezwBrqVNmK5zvJJ_pwg4J0I92y0PfGjpWQ-6-5PH5NqLLkPhSYwaY3V6CeSOy2a7KncFGoEhMyu/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-04-26+at+9.16.11+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJksXFNWUi5mdxxBVMwcTii-byYHvo_aiDNaOU3Cboev26TE4Nx2GbG2aTNI7egNduezwBrqVNmK5zvJJ_pwg4J0I92y0PfGjpWQ-6-5PH5NqLLkPhSYwaY3V6CeSOy2a7KncFGoEhMyu/s200/Screen+shot+2010-04-26+at+9.16.11+AM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464434466388499426" /></a><br /><br />As you can see it is on the left hand side of my screen. And this really helps. The best part of this is that you do not have to be a geek in order to use it. Online there is a plethora of handy how to guides to geektool that provide you a step by step guide for using the system. <br /><br />I highly recommend you get it. And, if you need help getting it set up feel free to shoot me an email. <br /><br /><br />P.S. I just found out you can use this to read RSS feeds. This means you can have your favorite blog on your desktop!

From now on, I plan to breathe.tomasmorenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528936876020784248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277430729478994958.post-56712005112914136472010-04-08T06:19:00.000-07:002010-04-08T06:20:50.292-07:00Use the Cloud Luke!Resolution: To use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing">the cloud</a> to process my data more. <br /><br />YAY!tomasmorenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528936876020784248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277430729478994958.post-74070395023101305102010-04-07T15:55:00.000-07:002010-04-07T15:58:33.688-07:00SanityResolution: Working with a clean inbox!<br /><br />So, I recently combined 3 emails into one account on gmail and it is SO nice! Now, I merely have to go to one site to answer emails from 3 accounts AND I can send them from the email they were sent to :D <br /><br />It is SO relaxing. But, I realized that my inbox was too cluttered to make easy access available. So, this morning, I cleaned out my inbox as well. Currently, I have 19 emails instead of the 50 that I received today or the 700+ that I had yesterday. <br /><br />SO nice.tomasmorenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528936876020784248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277430729478994958.post-46046506721202569162010-04-06T13:46:00.000-07:002010-04-06T13:50:45.562-07:00Technical DifficultiesSorry about the no posts.

While I have missed a few days, I have made up for them with multiple resolutions on one day.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I have kept up with the resolutions themselves which has been difficult some days when I simply need to relax or when I have a lot of stuff in my life. BUT, se la vie<br /><br />As for this post, there are 2 reasons for it:<br /><br />1. I am procrastinating and it kinda upsets me. But I'm getting focused because I remembered the reason for this blog: I want to better myself and stop my bad habits.<br /><br />2. I wanted to share a picture of one of my heroes: Sufjan Stevens. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.asthmatickitty.com/images/sufjanstevens/sufjan_-_denny_renshaw_majestysnowbird_01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 410px; height: 505px;" src="http://www.asthmatickitty.com/images/sufjanstevens/sufjan_-_denny_renshaw_majestysnowbird_01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>tomasmorenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528936876020784248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277430729478994958.post-69719925708730883802010-03-21T16:06:00.000-07:002010-03-21T16:07:00.519-07:00ProductivityUse it, like a lot.tomasmorenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10528936876020784248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277430729478994958.post-75059916893200607472010-03-20T23:07:00.000-07:002010-03-20T23:08:19.373-07:00LaundryDo it more often.
