Michael from Blackbelt Productivity
Lots of exciting things going on the the world of Ubuntu this week, the beta is out and you can just about hear the bugs squashing that is going on and will be going til the release. I can say this that usually around this time of the release cycle that there is a lull in the news relating to Ubuntu which I like to think of it as the calm before the storm. So, instead of the usual news segment, we have a hybrid of sorts where we talk about links that we discovered since last week. I have also sprinkled in a few bits of news and announcements, namely the release of the beta which is old news since it was released last week. Better late than never I always say:) We also had a special guest this week who provided us with a “getting things done” primer. His name is Michael Ramm and can be followed on twitter. He talked to us about a few things we can do to start ourselves ont he road to GTD nirvana and pionted us to his blog Black Belt Productivity. He was a great guest, which most of my guests are and we were lucky to have him. Well, I will let you go to peruse the wonderful links that we have gathered, have a good week.
