Toodledo
There are lots of personal productivity tools
around and we've tried quite a few of them
with no great success, but here's one that
seems to work well for us - and it's free (or
at least can be).
It's called Toodledo.
An on-line to-do
list that gives you a very flexible way to
organise your tasks, so you end up with a
system that you can tailor to your needs,
rather than being forced to work with the system.
If you are a fan of David Allen's GTD, it
handles a lot of the GTD concepts.
The paid version provides extras like
collaboration and sub-tasks, but the free
version is pretty good, so if you feel
disorganised, give it a go.

| Future of MySQL with Oracle |
| |
There was a sharp intake of breath in the web
world this month when news was announced of
Oracle Corporation's agreement with Sun
Microsystems to acquire the Sun business.
This may work out to be a great development
for the 400 Sun employees at the Linlithgow
site. What is also not clear is what Oracle
will do with the MySQL database they will
inherit with the buyout.
MySQL is used by web developers and ISPs
worldwide to provide a database engine for
web applications and it has often touted
itself as an alternative to Oracle's
enterprise database, so Oracle's plans for
MySQL will be monitored closely by the web
community.
What will Oracle do? Some of the options are
outlined in our article.

| Business networking - visit our group! |
| |
Blot Design is a member of the most
successful
business networking group in the world.
Each week we meet on a Thursday
morning for breakfast and to exchange and
refer
business between our members. It's a great
way of
doing business (only one company from any
business area can
join,
so there is no competition between members).
If you think your business could benefit from
networking like this, you're welcome to
attend as our guest:
- Thursday mornings
- 6:45am
- Novatel Hotel, Hermiston Gate, Edinburgh
Our group is thriving. And as it has grown, the
amount of business exchanged has increased
dramatically. Get in touch if you'd like to
come along and see how it works.
