in Signing with Initials on danielmiessler.com | grep understandingI have:
"Thanks,
-j"
as the first part of my signature, just because I'm lazy, but depending on who I'm e-mailing I'll often remove the -j and put my name in (too be a bit more "formal").
I know lots of others who do the same.

in I Almost Made it to 150 on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
Over the weekend I was in my hometown visiting some family. On the way home, I was cruising about 80 (on my bike) when a souped up Mustang pulled up beside me, revved his engine and smiled. It was on, in a similar non-adversarial manner. We "raced" for a few moments until we came upon traffic, him peaking at about 130.
If you like the feeling, you should get a bike. You may like your 335i but there's just nothing like 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. My personal best is 140 on four wheels, 170 on two. I let up at 170 because, honestly, by that point it was just too damn stupid. One slip up and I wouldn't be sitting here writing this comment.
Yes, it's fun. MORE POWER! ;)
By the way, why the "WTF?" when he asked about a beer? I meet up with my mother and her fiancee occasionally and we all go for long bike rides. It's nothing for us to stop mid-way for a beer and a sandwich. It's not like we're riding around like drunk maniacs. It is, in my opinion, no different than having a beer over a business lunch and going back to the office.
Take care, enjoy the speed. =)

in Red Lobster Is IHOP With Shrimp on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
Olive Garden is owned by the same company who owns Red Lobster (as well as Longhorn Steakhouse and a few others that I can't recall and my significant other -- Longhorn manager -- is asleep). I wouldn't eat at any of 'em if I didn't get it free. =)

in Love on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
Reminds me of last summer when my fiancé (now ex-fiancé -- that's a good thing) went to the Indianapolis Zoo. She couldn't understand why I was seemingly "pulled" towards the Gentoo penguins. I tried to explain it to her, but she couldn't care less. Maybe that's why she's my ex-fiancé. =)

Yep, and that's why I unsubscribed from his feed a few weeks ago.

in New 335i on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
Very nice, though it'd be nicer if you had a garage to park it in (doesn't appear that you do, unless those pics weren't taken at $home).

in GTD Basics on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
Hey Daniel,
Have you, by chance, read "Time Management for System Administrators"? (I'd give you a link, but I think you have HTML disabled, so the ISBN is 0596007833 (it's available used from Amazon for $11).
I picked this up a month or so ago when Borders was giving a 25% discount to "educators", which somehow included me -- I work at an .edu, but I'm a network admin, not a professor.
Anyways, for the last few months, I've been reading some of the various GTD articles and sites and trying to find ways to... well, get things done. My department is pretty small -- just five full-time staff, a few part-time staff, and a handful of student workers.
While, looking back, I realize that much of what is written in the book is "common sense", a lot of it didn't really hit me until I read it in print. I've now read it twice, and started implementing what I could from the first day. The big thing for me was eliminating distractions -- mainly that new mail notification from Outlook coming outta my PC speakers every few minutes. I'm to the point where I open Outlook three or four times a day, read/reply to what I need to right then, and close it out again. Perhaps 30 minutes before the workday is over and I start "winding down", I open it one last time and deal with the mail that I put off for the day.
Obviously, that's only one of any possible number of interruptions we "sysadmins" face and that's not all of what the book covers. I really believe that being in the I.T. world has its own unique "challenges" with regards to managing your time -- as well as many other professions do, I'm sure -- and this book really hit home with me.
I won't ramble any further, but if you're really into GTD, pick up a copy of the book. If you read much of the GTD-type articles/sites, a lot of what it's in the book will be familiar to you -- at least in concept, but the author has found a way to relate it to the I.T. world and some of the unique challenges we face.
