My GTD experience: emptying your head
I wanted to share my own experience in organizing my life in accordance with GTD for a very long time. You have most likely heard about the GTD. However you have probably missed the book under the same name. I would definitely recommend everyone to read this book. Nevertheless I will try to tell you my story so that some of the methods comprising the theory would be clear to you even without reading the book.
The Icon Book
If one studies the evolution of user interfaces since the 80’s of the last century up to now, it is difficult to get rid of the feeling that the trade of icon-building, which hardly was able to become an engineering science (e. g., in the Macintosh System 7 interface) can now be regarded as a fine art (Windows XP and Mac OS X).
Icon Design by Caplin
It was with greatest surprise that I understood that the moment we’d been waiting for so long arrived a year ago. The first book dedicated to “computer pictogram design” was published in Russia.

articlesThese could be the new LiveJournal’s icons type8: your logo is quite nice. simple and clean. maybe what they want is fresh look. easy to recognize the icon. some of your icon is hard to recognize the image, example "track this" icon. The winner icon is not as good as your icon, but what they got is fresh look, simple. that is what i can say
articlesThese could be the new LiveJournal’s icons Czerny: I think a lot website owners would prefer the icons with button because your icons look great but they need .png alpha transparency... And with the button it needs only 4 x 1px transparency on each of the rounded corners which can be made within .gif-files. Most big websites needs full IE6 support and it is too complicated to handle .png-files in some reasons. Damn IE6!!

But I am concerned with having to use multiple software to accomplish online CRM tasks while fulfilling management needs for my freelance projects.
