I’ve been trying in last few months to reduce the level of interruption I get while working. When I really get focused on doing things, I can achieve level a of productivity that sometimes is difficult to get. Somethings I’ve done include turning off Outlook email notifications, not entering twitter and avoiding as much as possible using Instant Messaging while totally focused. The findings have been great. It turns out not all email needs to be answered immediately (it’s even better if you wait as you can think of a better response). Also twitter can wait, I can answer...

What ever happen to getting to know each other? Those early conversations about what you do, what are your plans and helping me out with one thing or another? It seems all that is gone by now.

As you’ve already know from my last post, we’ve launched a new site that gives an overview of the Santo Domingo public transportation system.

You will find all the official bus routes in the city and also incorporated the recently created first subway line. Leave any comments on the same site’s contact section.

Since the beginning of computing someone had the brilliant idea that for storing files and documents the best way to classify them would be to create a hierarchy and structure of folders or directories and begin dumping them in there. Today we have end up with hundreds and hundreds of folders in our hard disks with lots and lots of files. Sometimes I don’t even remember where I created a folder and even further what the files inside there represent. And a simple explanation for this is that we as human beings don’t think like a hierarchy. Our memories are not stored in a hierarchical path that we...
