[Item Permalink] Keeping a weblog can boost your productivity? -- Comment()
I started to keep this weblog on August 19, 2002. Since then I have published 1880 postings and various longer texts. I have not set any big targets for this weblog. This is just a public notebook.

During these six months I have published elsewhere about twenty articles, ten columns, and six book reviews. In about one third of these I have used ideas and material originating from this weblog. Thus I believe that keeping a weblog can boost your productivity as a writer (at least it doesn't seem to diminish the output). I wonder if other bloggers have similar experiences?

Open Source Graphics Apps Coming of Age? "The MacGIMP project was recently announced to be a finalist in the MacDesign Editor's Choice awards. Photoshop 7 and Adobe Elements were also in the running and of course Photoshop won. But who would have thought a year or two ago that an open source project could even be in the running for such award? Look out Adobe, by this time next year, we'll all be using GIMP 1.3."
