I think I should start another type of blogs in addition to my reflection type entries. (kinda feel bored about that). I will recommend some technical tools I tried and really liked. So those friends who are scared away by my academic rambling can find something interesting or useful.
I am using iGoogle now and really like it. It’s like a personal online portal. Since I work on multiple computers, one at office, two at home; so I have this problem of sharing files cross computers.
There are a wealth of web-based applications or service both inside and outside of google are available for each add to iGoogle. I have added in RSS reader, notebook, sticker, To-do list, Box.net, and other small stuff like calendar and weather. I attached a screenshot of my iGoogle here. I used to use bloglines, but it seems easier to switch to Google reader and keep everything in one place. All the online notebook, sticker and to-do list are great alternatives to the paper-based version. I might misplace the slip of paper or sticker. The most important thing is that every since I set up my personal online portal, I form the habit of checking it every day, both at home and at office.
Box.net is quite easy to use and it has the feature of sharing files with others in both public and protected way. It seems quite handy for the group work.
