Presenting Floyd’s Worthwhile Endeavor

For the longest time I’ve wanted to set up a giant billboard-style to-do list in my office–something that would be so big that it would be hard to ignore.  I was tempted by Panic’s gorgeous Status Board iOS app, but I didn’t know how easy it would be to integrate my daily Taskpaper-based todo lists with […]

I created a private Twitter account, and every few hours as I worked on code, I would jot down a private tweet to myself about what it was that I was doing.
