In addition to other items and chores, I decided to upgrade the PowerBook some this weekend. The overhaul consisted of bringing up the Ram by 50% to 768mb, as well as the installation of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The increase in memory certainly makes the TiBook a bit snappier, as one might expect. I tend to have a lot of apps running in the background to help automate things or remind me of other things.

I also spent some time working on Gmail, learning some tips off the Gmail wiki (like using Gmail for Notes and for web clippings). Since I check email from work and elsewhere from time to time, pushing more into Gmail helps make me a little more efficient. I’ve gotten into the habit of using it for reminders lately.

Inbetween all that, I managed to get some data cleaned up on the laptop (you’d think 60 gigs worth of drive would last longer) – after installing the SW: Knights of the Old Republic onto the external drive, I moved the other games to the drive as well, and freed up about 4 gigs on the laptop. Later this week, I plan to reorganize my data, and delete some old, rarely used applications.
