Twitter On
You may have noticed the new item in the right sidebar in my blog. I have opened up a twitter account.
What is twitter? Twitter is like a mini-blog, where you can post short messages (up to 140 characters), describing what you are doing at the moment. It is supposed to have a simple, clean interface.
Because of the simple interface and the size limit, I’m probably going to try to use it to keep track of my usage of time. Recently, I have noticed that my productivity has fallen by leaps and bounds and I can’t keep track of the time I have been spending in very simple tracks. Maybe by forcing myself to think “what am I doing right now?” every few hours, I can help avoiding losing myself in endless bouts of slashdotting or blogging. I hope.
Also, it should make it easier those interested in my life (hello mom, dad!) to keep track of me - I recognize that I have been doing a terrible job at keeping this blog updated. It is easier to do the trivial posts in my 140 letter twitter update, and leave the blog for when I have some inspired idea.
