Mac OS X only: To-do lists are a great way to keep your mind and projects organized, but messing with your program or web-based list’s features defeats the purpose. Enter TaskPaper, a seriously simple task manager from the developers of the distraction-free word processor Writeroom. TaskPaper, now in a finished 1.0 version, keeps it simple with text-based lists that can be modified by TextEdit or any other editor. The interface keeps the focus on projects, tasks and checking them off, but tabbed windows and context browsing allow for bigger-picture views. TaskPaper is available as a free trial for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, but a license will set you back $18.95. If you’re looking to get serious with to-do lists, check out Gina’s guide to the art of the doable to-do list, or get even more streamlined with paper lists.

USB Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon install
USB Ubuntu 7.10 install from Linux: This tutorial enables you to install, boot and run Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) from USB. In addition to installing Ubuntu to a USB device and then booting Ubuntu from USB, this tutorial will enable you to automatically save your changes and settings back to the stick and further restore them on each boot using a second “casper-rw” persistent partition. The tutorial was written for those already familiar with working from Ubuntu or another Linux desktop environment. If you do not have access to or prefer not to use a Windows computer, this Ubuntu Linux on a stick tutorial is for you.
Ubuntu 7.10 takes slightly longer to boot than previous releases. However, once it’s up and running, it performs much better than running from the Live CD.
USB Ubuntu 7.10 Essentials:
- Ubuntu7.10 ISO
- CD Burner
- 1GB USB flash drive (2GB+ recommended)
- U710fix.tar

Starbucks Tests Free Wi-Fi In California
I told you October 11 about my prediction that Starbucks would offer free Wi-Fi within a year. Well, the prediction is happening… sort of. Starbucks is TESTING FREE WI-FI at some 1,000 Southern California stores (until October 31). I think this is a trial run for much wider free Wi-Fi.(props to djchuang.com and the ubiquitous Chris Pirillo)
Figured it will come this way!!! I am sure of it!!
