Building qOrganizer on OS X

A couple days ago I read about qOrganizer. Since it's open source and Qt, I thought I would try to build it when I had some time. I have some time this afternoon (office hours early in the semester usually aren't too busy). I downloaded the source, backed up the existing project file (just in case), then commenced building the application as follows:

1. cp qOrganizer.pro qOrganizer.pro.original
2. qmake qOrganizer.pro
3. xcodebuild -project qOrganizer.xcodeproj -activetarget

Note: qOrganizer is in: build/Default

The application could probably be built directly in Xcode, but I find the command line faster for things like this.

Double-click the final application and start organizing whatever you need to organize.

The data files are stored (as text) in the directory .qOrganizer in your home directory.

Blog Reading

Here's the view:


News.com is going to get the axe today. It accounts for about 10% of the overall posts I've read over the last month or so. They updated posts, so I wind up reading the same headline multiple times. I'll go back to reading it as I did in the past---when I have time, I'll look at it, as I do for Drudge Report and HotLinks.

Future:

• Axe MetaFilter?
• Split off development-related posts from other posts?

Blog Reading

This week seemed easier:


I don't think I'll cut any blogs this week. Cutting the Drudge Report and Hotlinks didn't change the numbers much, but it seemed like I spent less time actually using Google Reader.

Removing Drudge Report from my feed list made some difference over the past week, as shown in the Trends chart:


This week, Hot Links is getting the axe. It's just as easy to go to the web page once or twice a day, as I have been doing for
Drudge Report.
