So… Read More Automatic SMTP blacklisting
FreeplaneGTD 3.0 – Back to school
I have a confession to make. I don’t like what Oracle is doing with the IP they get their hands on. This is just one of those times when it’s easly shown why. FreeplaneGTD has gone over several stages in the past years. It started off as a spin-off of a long abandoned project, that… Read More FreeplaneGTD 3.0 – Back to school
Saga of Installing Windows on Acer TravelMate 8473
I decided to pass my trusty old computer down to my son. Before doing so I decided it needs some cleaning up.

WBS for Freeplane
I’ve been contacted about my FreeplaneGTD addon, if it could be used for creating and maintaining work-breakdown-structures (WBS).

FreeplaneGTD rebooted
After using my addon for a while, I’ve completely got fed up with the ugliness of the task list. The flying saucer library, I’ve used to display the list is great for simple HTML display.
