It is super easy to lose track of time and get totally absorbed in time-wasting activities that ultimately zap your progress and keep your business at a standstill. To keep you on-task, here’s some time saving tricks that will help keep you focused on activities that keep your business moving forward.   Plan to work on your online business no less than 2-3 hours a day in the beginning stages and then you can reduce your time as needed once things are up and running. Work on posting and traffic building tasks first within the first 30-60 minutes, then schedule the rest of your work tasks in 30 minute increments. And stick to it! Use the Firefox internet browser – open the sites/pages/blogs you need to work on first, then use the save feature. Next time you open Firefox it will automatically open to those pages you need to access first. Don’t allow yourself to open any other tabs until you have completed your important tasks first. Maximize your downtime – those times when you find yourself waiting at the doctor’s office or at the beauty/barber shop – carry pen and paper (or if you prefer, your laptop) with you at all times so you can quickly jot down article ideas or work on drafts. Use the the “email post” feature (Blogger) to send “text message” posts from your cell phone. (You can set up this feature by going to your Blogger “dashboard. ” Click “Settings,” then click “Email & Mobile,” scroll down to “Posting Options,” and create the email address you want to send messages to. Then select “Save Email as Draft Posts. ” so that your messages don’t automatically post to your blog. Don’t forget to click “Save Settings”. Now you will be able to send emails or text messages to the new address. You will then be able to edit and then post the message whenever you’re ready. ) Let me know how these tricks work out for you!  

HTC Mega and Whitestone make an appearance

Another week another HTC handset leak, this time courtesy of wmexperts who claim to have the skinny on two yet announced windows phone, the HTC Mega and US carrier Verizon’s version of the diamond 2.

The new HTC Mega model, complete with supposed picture, will come with a Qualcomm 7225@ 528 MHz chip, 256MB ROM/256MB RAM, 2.8-inch QVGA (240×320), GSM/GPRS Edge/HSDPA, and 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera, as well as GPS.

As usual no word on release, pricing or anything else for that matter, however the site does suggest that it will probably be aimed at the low-end of the market when it eventually does arrive.

As for the Verizon Diamond 2, the handset, which is expected to launch in September will offer a twist on the Touch Diamond 2, very much like the operator has done with the Snap model that it tweaked to release as the Ozone.

Pictures show the Whitestone as it is being referred to as having a faux diamond encrusted frame and a slightly different button layout under a touchscreen.

We will keep you posted.

Slowly recovering

Twitter has been down for several hours following a denial-of-service attack on the site. The company announced the problem on its status blog, initially saying that it was trying to determine the cause, before confirming the DDOS attack.

At the time of writing, the site is back up for some but running very slowly. Antivirus company Sophos explains what a DDOS is: “A denial of service attack occurs when computers bombard a website with requests for information”.

“Typically hackers can control thousands of innocent users’ computers centrally and command them to visit a site that they wish to flood with traffic – making it impossible for other internet users to get through. It’s a bit like 15 fat men trying to get through a revolving door at the same time – nothing can move”.

The site is expected to be up and running again for everyone again shortly.

But does it tell the time?

Whether you’re scaling K2 or just negotiating Knightsbridge can Timex’s ‘wrist-top adventure instrument’ keep you safely on track; we strapped ourselves in to find out.

The WS4 serves up an altimeter, barometer, compass and thermometer, its waterproof to 50m, has 100 hour chronograph for serious timings, has a tough rubber casing, INDIGLO night light and all the daily/weekly alarms you could need. It also squeezes in time telling (digital and analogue) and date.

Impressive, but nothing terribly exciting; the likes of Garmin and Suunto (and Timex) have been knocking out adventure specific watches for years. What makes the WS4 stand out is the screen (WS = Widescreen) and the effortless functionality. For once you can navigate your way around all the functions with ease, even in zero visibility with huge great mittens on.

The 3.7cm wide screen is split into four sections; there’s a clear analogue dial (shows time at a glance and also compass direction), large bitmapped area that displays names, time, modes, graphs, while a smaller segments displays numbers, lap times, the date, barometer pressure etc depending on the menu. Finally a small graphic in the bottom left gives you the temperature and a current weather graphic.

Lots to take in on one display, but there’s an ocean of space between each graphic making it easy to decipher all the info at a glance.

Finding and using each feature is also a breeze. The chunky mode button gets you to the altimeter; barometer etc and once there the on-screen prompts guide you through each. For example to set up the compass the top right display asks you to rotate the watch twice before pushing mode to calibrate.

It’s up to you if you’d find an altimeter/barometer/compass useful but rest assured each worked a treat. The altimeter was accurate (standing on a desk even registered) and the progression graph a great touch. You can set altitude alarms, useful for keeping on track and hitting goals and record how long you’re at a certain height – essential if the oxygen’s getting thin.

The compass did as it should and was spot on with accuracy while the barometer proved a handy tool. Ignore the sunny/rainy symbols, you can look out the window for that info, but the Hg pressure display and history graphs can really help predict the weather – watch the numbers drop and you know you’ve got bad weather on the way, essential if you’re half way up Ben Nevis or on Bond Street without a brolly.

We were disappointed by the temperature gauge. It was too influenced by the heat of this reviewer’s wrist to be totally accurate. We had to take it off to get a proper read out.

In darkness the silver INDIGLO button illuminates the display in easy-reading neon green for about three seconds. We found it worked superbly in dark conditions but at half light the original display was often clearer.

It’s also available in black; blue; yellow; orange, and white for the fashion conscious.

Verdict:
We’re impressed by the WS4 but the one thing holding this watch back from greatness is the exact thing that makes it so easy to use; it’s flippin’ enormous. Measuring 5.5cm wide it isn’t heavy but it swamps even the manliest wrist. Pull on your Gore Tex, strap on the Timex and head for the hills, but don’t (and trust us here) wear it down the pub.

It’d be harsh to call the WS4 the ‘My First Adventure Watch’ because it’s a serious bit of kit full of useful, potentially life saving widgets, but the huge screen and idiot proof settings mean even a total novice can make the most of the information on display.

Timex have gone out on a limb with the WS4 design and for out-and-out usefulness they’ve done a great job. The four-zone display gives the wearer a huge amount of information without a lot of fiddly button pushes. Even when you do want to get geeky with graphs and altitude timers most are just one or two presses away.

Our only gripe – if you wear it with anything other than an all-weather survival suit you’ll look more like an electronically tagged teen than a rugged outdoor adventurer.
