Fighting Monsters

Got a blackberry 7100t, $100 at tiger direct, hoping to use it to organise GTD lists.
It’s not super duper (bluetooth very limited, cant use data services on fido despite massive internet rumours to the contrary) but i really just want the pim functionality.
I didn’t realise the OS wasn’t open, so there’s not as much software as for a palm, i need dope wars.

Restarted the machine, and all of a sudden I’m getting

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘c:/php/ext/php-4.4.0_magicwand_dyn.dll‘ - The specified module could not be found.”.

Odd, as it was all working, did my best with the instructions here , but still the same problem. I switched from using

extension=”php-5.0.4_magickwand_dyn.dll”

to using
extension=”php-5.0.4_magickwand_q16_st.dll”

which worked. I am using that version of magickwand, so i guess it makes sense, just strange it would have stopped working…

1. I’m impressed with how useable it’s become.

2. do everything in classes to protect your variable names.

3. declare your variables in scope , eg: inside a function use “var myvar = `whatever`;” this prevents scope searching for the var name.

Holy hell the magickwand api for php is cryptic!

For the benefit of all (Me? you?) this is a simple ‘watermark’ example

plugin for utilizing gmail with GTD.

http://www.gtdgmail.com/

Not sure yet, i get too much personal mail through my Gmail… giving it a shot though.

Recently picked up on David Allens ‘Getting Things Done’ … techniques?

I will post here my experiences with it.

Not one to normally go in for this, I’m looking at implementing wordpress for a client, so I may as well be productive with it!

I intend to use this to record handy things that I’ve learned.
