My Rubber List Becomes Concrete
I now have a real virtual list of projects. Yes, I'm aware that's a contradiction in terms. I'm a listmaker at heart, so it's nice to be able to write it all down ("a short pencil's better than a long memory"), and while I frequently just have a .txt file open in Notepad to jot stuff down in, it's nice to have it in a form where I can put a big check mark next to the stuff that's done. A form that's web-accessible is even better, since my to-dos can follow me around wherever I go.
Enter Backpack. I can make lists, and email additional stuff to them. How cool is that? Granted, if I can get to my email, I almost certainly have web access, and could just log into their site to update my page, but still... nifty idea. I was using the sticky notes capability on the Google customizable home page, but this is way more versatile. You can have it email you reminders too! I can't think of anything I need to be reminded about, but I'm sure I will (in the shower or the car or some equally un-web-accessible place).
At least I got one thing crossed off my list: I now have my inner tubes listed on SL Exchange. Red, yellow, blue and a bright pattern. The brightly-patterned one makes me laugh, because the pattern is a graphic I made for my very firstest webpage... in 1995. Ah geocities, I knew you when...
My listings still need some work - a picture of someone actually using the inner tubes would be nice, huh? I have some pics I did a while ago, but that was before I figured out high rez photos, so... well, I'll be redoing them. Also want to put together a multi-pack of the primary colours. And update the listings so that you a URL in one description takes you to the others...
Why is it resolving one thing on the list spawns another half a dozen more list items?

I'll be happy to demo the inner tube usage if ya need it. :)
