Foonyor Barzane: I took a bad position in the currency markets
http://www.foonyor.com/2012/05/i-took-bad-position-in-currency-markets.html
I took a bad position in the currency markets. Yesterday I withdrew 10,000 Malawian Kwacha (about £40) for walking around money. Today the president announced. The currency was being devalued by 1/3.

Foonyor Barzane: Redefining productivity
http://www.foonyor.com/2012/07/redefining-productivity.html
The long wait for my second post on GTD is over (I'm looking at you, Scottogroom). It's been nearly a year since I tried GTD and quickly fell off the wagon. I'm planning to give it another go in earnest soon, but even without the full system I've incorporated a lot of useful ideas into my daily life. Read more about it over at my work blog. You can also add our RSS feed to your web-o-stream if you care what I do all day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Running, away from home. Mens et manus creant lux.

Foonyor Barzane: June 2012
http://www.foonyor.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
I was making coffee and toast this morning when I heard some thrashing outside on the balcony. Imagine my surprise when I saw this fellow peering back at me. I'm not sure what drew him to my porch, but he couldn't manage to get back out again. He kept hopping up in the air and trying to flap through. The glass at the edge (you can see some smudge marks from previous attempts in the photo). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Running, away from home. Mystery Hunt 2015: 20000 Puzzles I Didn’t Have to Edit.

Foonyor Barzane: Olympics mania
http://www.foonyor.com/2012/08/olympics-mania.html
But even more fun than that has been seeing how awesome London has been as a host city, and how much fun Brits have had at the games. Jonathan Freedman summarizes it beautifully in an op-ed in the Guardian. Britain in 2012 is a multi-cultural place to be proud of, full of people who can achieve great things, and dancing, smiling, shouting volunteers helping to make it happen. I see youre so into it that you learned how to spell Mo Farahs name creatively! 12 August, 2012 18:15. 12 August, 2012 18:26.

Foonyor Barzane: December 2011

The effects of 8 time zones. The non-US citizen immigration line looked long and depressed, though: yay dual citizenship! I'm hoping for a good recharge, both scientifically and personally on this trip, and maybe 8 hours of jetlag is just what I need. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Running, away from home.

Getting Things Done: Prologue. I recently read David Allen's Getting Things Done. Motivated proximally by the Fisher Files (see last post) and distally by my longstanding distress at the disorganization of my life. It's a well written book, and while it does have some repetition it avoids the vacuous sloganeering common to self-help books. The system itself is relatively simple:.

Foonyor Barzane: Summer
http://www.foonyor.com/2014/05/summer.html
It's been more than 18 months since I updated this page, but I suppose late is better than never! I knew I still checked this blog for a reason! 22 May, 2014 07:11. I thought it was only my Mom still reading it. 22 May, 2014 10:53. I actually follow your feed. I dont know how common that is these days, but my feed reader patiently follows 20 defunct and semi-defunct blogs. 22 May, 2014 15:04. Yeah, I dont know why RSS has become so uncommon - I feel like feeds are a great thing. 22 May, 2014 15:14.
