About 3 weeks ago I had a motorcycle accident and broke a bone in my right hand.
Being a touch typist, it was really frustrating to start typing like when I was ten years old.
But  what really surprised me was the fact that using the mouse with my left hand turned out to be even more frustrating.

I recently read “Getting Things Done” by David Allen and I must say that it already changed a lot in my life. The principle of clearing your head has some strong positive results.

Hi all,

March 15 was a very important day for me.

BrainStreamer 1.2 is released on line

I am proud of what I have done. I think it is a very useful application.

It was tough getting everything ready for the deadline I had set for myself.

The deadline was very tight and thinking about it now, it is the best thing I could have done.

My life was centered around releasing BrainStreamer on time and this really has given me the motivation to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week for several months.

Setting your goals really helps keeping you focused and really motivates. In fact, it never seemed like work, I enjoyed creating something and seeing progress everyday. Also things that seemed important in the beginning can suddenly become a lot less of an issue.

This release is just the first step, but an important step. Having set my goals and actions (using BrainStreamer of course) also helps me decide what my next step are going to be.

I should have started working with goals much sooner in life, but better late then never.

Anyway,

have a nice day all.

Over at mymicroisv.com you can find an article from the people behind EarthDesk.

These people are backbacking with there laptop and working from any ware they have an Internet connection.

This is one of the main reasons I want www.brainstreamer.com to succeed.

I am a motorcycle fan and my goal is to go for a long trip (at least a couple of years). Working from where I am at the moment.

I have found a very nice introduction on using OSGi: http://neilbartlett.name/blog/osgi-articles/#comment-223

I wish I could write articles like these, its clean and easy to follow.

The reason I am interested in this is because I am going to insert a plug-in system in BrainStreamer in one of the following versions.

In fact there will be 2 plug-in systems: in the server part and the client part.

In the server part the plug-in system should allow you to add plug-ins for:

• New data types
• New data sources
• Dynamic data types

In the client:

• Creating new views
• Adding import and export modules
• Adding scripting languages
