Habits of highly productive computer users
1. Use an RSS reader as a way to efficiently find information of interest to you without having to navigate the web or re-visit websites. It’s a "push" technology that comes to you rather than the hit-and-miss method of "checking-in" at websites of interest to you, or having to constantly "Goggle" for new stuff.
2. Use Microsoft’s MSN Desktop Search. I know there are others like Google’s Desktop Search, but the built-in "shortcut manager" built in to the MSN Desktop Search is very powerful and can improve your PC desktop experience dramatically.
3. Use a tabbed browser. If you are online at least a few hours a day or use Google and constantly follow result links to find just the right page, then a tabbed browser will make you more productive.
4. Use email effectively, expecially if you are part of a mailing list, read this article to learn how: "Tips for mastering email overload"

iPod Shuffle
Ok, so I learned emperically that you can’t expect to copy over files to the iPod Shuffle and expect them to play. You have to use iTunes. Also, iTunes can import WMA files but it will convert it to ACC format. I prefer to maintain one file format and the preferred format is MP3 for me so I found this nifty free program to do WMA->MP3 conversion: dBpowerAMP Music Converter

What philosophy do you follow?
| You scored as Divine Command. Your life is directed by Divine Command: Your god and religion give you meaning and direction.
“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.” “Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion–human religion–but any number of faiths.” More info at Arocoun’s Wikipedia User Page…
