New GTD Category: @Radar
I am a big fan of David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology. Lately I have been struggling with some of the recommended categories for certain items that land in my "inbox".

Using Windows Live Writer 2008
About 4 times a year I "refresh" my working computer with a fresh install of the latest OS and software tools. With the release of Visual Studio 2008, I recently "refreshed" again (no longer using Visual Studio 2005).
