How should I start? The strategy that I have in mind now is to list out the major areas of concern, and then have an iteration (current state, goal state, implementation plan) for each of those areas.
Here’s my shot at listing the major areas:
| Area | Applications (items in italics rarely used) |
| - Gmail - Yahoo mail (my spam account) - Outlook Thunderbird (for my old mails) - Lotus Notes - WM6 Outlook - Work webmail - Facebook inbox | |
| Instant messaging | - pidgin - MSN - SMS - GTalk - ICQ |
| To-dos & scheduling | - Outlook Tasks - Outlook Calendar - WM To-dos - WM Calendar |
| Backup | - Sonic Data - O&O DiskImage |
| Security | - TrueCrypt - Comodo Firewall |
| Version Control | - ActiveSync |
| Contacts Management | - facebook - Outlook |
| Fast computer working environment | - CCleaner - Windows Defrag - WinDirStats - Comodo Firewall - Sun VirtualBox |
| Research | - BlogSpot - Windows Live Writer - Google Site - Tombo |
| News | - GreatNews - Chrome - WM RSS Reader |
I think this list is neither complete nor optimally organised, but I will use this as a starting point and update it at the Google Site version as I go along.
Which area should I start my iterations in? I think it should be “backup”, since that’s what I have been working on recently. After that, I can probably move on to “Research” since that will benefit this documenting process directly.
