This is another gem of the Open Source world. ThinkingRock is an app that will help you organize and work your todo list. Actually that isn’t quite a fair description, it’s much more than just a todo list and project manager. It’s a system written to work with your GTD system and it’s philosphies if you are a David Allen Follower.
There is a new version as of June 2nd, 2008 (Version 2.0.1) so go and have a look! It is however free and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. (Written in Java) They do ask for donations to help fund development, so if you use it and like it like I do, please consider a tip their way.
You’ll be hearing more from me on this in the next Valid Syntax.
Do you have an OpenSource project that you find particularly useful
or interesting? Or want to just send in your own comments. There
are a few ways you can participate in the show:
Sunday night, since we are not recording Technorama as a weekly show any longer, I thought I would use the time slot to record Valid Syntax.
So, Sunday May 11th about 9:30pm Eastern Standard time head over here for the webcam and audio stream. I will be recording a new show for Valid Syntax, and generally hanging out with all the regulars in the chat room.
If you want to connect to the IRC chat room with your own IRC client no problem! Server: irc.freenode.net Channel: #technorama
I’ll be looking for ya!

I do have a come back plan…I know it has been a while since I have put out a new show, and for those of you still subscribed, I appreciate you hanging with me.
Ten years ago, Netscape issued a press release announcing plans to make available the Netscape Communicator source code for free on the Internet. Citing an installation base of 68 million users and a desire to spread the browser further while encouraging community-driven development, Netscape declared that its bold new strategy would involve full publication and disclosure of the browser’s source code under the Netscape Public License, a GPL-inspired license that would facilitate modification and redistribution—a move laid the foundation for the emergence of Mozilla.
Tonight, I have no plans for New Years, and unless something changes I will be assembling a new Valid Syntax. Sorry for the delay, but there are a number of factors that had stepped in my way.
SO, I hope you are rested after the holidays…cause 2008 looks bigger and brighter for Open Source.
Note: I have to confess, I ordered myself a Nokia N810 today! Can’t wait for it to arrive!
Are you ready to take a step beyond writing code in a text editor like UltraEdit, BBEdit, or TextMate? Would you like to see those PHP and JavaScript syntax errors in the editor, without transferring files to the server or opening a browser? If so, then you’re ready to jump into the world of the IDE — Integrated Development Environment. I’ll compare the free, open source Eclipse IDE to a few of its commercial competitors Then we’ll go through the steps to install Eclipse PDT All-In-One, the Zend Debugger, JSEclipse, and Subclipse.
“New iPods will no longer be able to work with Linux. iTunes now writes some kind of hash (SHA1, md5?) to the iPod database which new iPods check against. If this check fails then the iPod reports that it contains 0 songs. This appears to be protection against 3rd party applications writing out their own databases. We haven’t found out how to generate our own valid hashes (but we do know the hash includes the database itself, and possibly the iPod serial number), and are looking for help.”
