Next Actions Script To Do List

For the techy minded productivity nuts among you I have been using this neat little tool called the Next Action Script for my to do list lately. It's probably the most fantastic bit of javascript coding that I've come across to date and it has very sensible usability. If you've read Getting Things Done you will know what Next Action means.

Chess 960

I've just found out about a new variant on chess called Chess 960. Basically the game is the same except for the fact that the non-pawn pieces are not set up in their traditional way. This changes the game in that it means that memorising opening combinations becomes obsolete. Invented by Bobby Fischer the aim of the change is to make chess more a game of skill, problem solving and creativity rather than a contest to see who can spend the most time studying openings.
