Tumblr Dashboard permalinks…

After playing around with Tumblr for months (I’m cdevroe over there), I finally noticed that the little “page curls” that happen on-hover on posts on my Dashboard from those whom I follow are actually the permalinks to those posts. Man do I wish I found that sooner! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve actually gone to the Tumblr page of the user who posted something I wanted to find the permalink to, scrolled down the page to find the post, and clicked on the date (or whatever their theme had that was clickable). Ugh.

Though I do like the idea, I think this link should be much more apparent.

Side note: A single RSS feed for posts from everyone I follow would be stellar. Maybe it is there and I just don’t know it?

The Ta-da List widget is back!

Over 1 year in the making! Well, not really, but it has been over a year since version 1.2 of the widget was released. Now, with version 1.3, the Ta-da List widget is back in action and has been updated to accomodate the changes that 37Signals made to Ta-da List in a recent update.

The latest version of the Ta-da List widget.

Keegan Jones, the developer of the widget and a heckuva photographer, was nice enough to give me a copy of the working widget shortly after I complained about it not working. I was able to get back up and running quickly and let him know that it was working. Customer service++.

This makes my GTD circle complete. I use Ta-da List on my iPhone while I’m on the go (mostly to add things to my list so I don’t forget them) and I use the widget when I’m on my computer to check things off as I get them done.

Head on over to Ta-da List, get an account, and download Keegan’s excellent widget. It will help you, as it has me, Get Things Done for sure.

The Ta-da Lists widget is down captain Keegan!

Keegan Jones‘ (among others) Ta-da Lists Widget is down!

The erring widget.

I began reusing Ta-da Lists recently when I found out about the iPhone support. It works beautifully. When I think of something while I’m on the go, I can add a ta-da list item with my iPhone painlessly. When I’m back at my computer, I reference the very same list. I love it.

Up until the other day I was using the Ta-da Lists widget as my way to interact with my lists on my Macintosh computer. But for some reason the widget now just spins (pictured) while trying to get the lists and their items.

I don’t know what is going on, but I’ve sent a few messages to whomever I could find contact information for.

As a side request: If anyone knows an application, rather than a widget, that utilizes Ta-da lists – please let me know.
