I’ve been trying to get organised and manage my time more effectively, and I think I have found the jackpot. David Seah’s printable CEO series:

I’m going to do a 30 day trial and see which one works for me. Talking about 30 day trials, I’ve stumbled upon this “30 days to success printable worksheet” There’s also an Emergent Task Timer mod, worth mentioning by GTDWannabe.
I love the idea of David’s pickle jar. I currently add my ideas to my to-do list on my PDA, but the list just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Even though I give them low priority. I think I will have to give the pickle jar a try. Quoted from David Seah:
The physical act of writing down, folding, and then “pickling” the idea for later consumption is weirdly cathartic.
Timer Software:
For the 15 minute intervals here is a list of software I found that might be useful:

SimpsonizeMe has much more options than the simspons movie website. You can upload a photo of yourself (has to be 640×480) and it will “automagically” simpsonize you. It has a lot of hairstyles.
The flash app has a lot of usability issues, to mention a few:
- When you click on the “your character” button all other buttons get disabled, and if you didn’t save the character you have to start all over again.
- It is very difficult to select the colour red.
- View area for body types is too small
Overall it works out quite well. It exports as PNG with transparent background, which I thought is amazing.

We are playing a Futsal competition at Sydney Uni Aquatic Centre, and tonight we won 15 to 3 against Crunch FC. We are totally “kicking arse” this season. Here are the tables, as of today they still haven’t updated the last score. You can see some of the highlights of tonights game here:
We are going to be taking a camera each week so we can get more cools shots.
Thanks Rafa for late night video editing!

Yeah, you might be amazed if you thought that just setting the option to disabled would work, even in IE7.
But it looks like it only works on proper browsers.
I searched the net everywhere to see how other people were doing it and I found this method (from: www.lattimore.id.au) to be the best one for my needs. I made some updates to it: I was using a multiple select list and also because I was creating the select box from an AJAX response. So here’s the code:
-
-
function emulateDisabled(selectBox) {
-
for (var i=0, option; option = selectBox.options[i]; i++) {
-
if (option.disabled) {
-
option.style.color = "graytext";
-
}else{
-
option.style.color = "menutext";
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
-
function restoreEmulateDisabled(selectBox) {
-
for (var i=0, option; option = selectBox.options[i]; i++) {
-
if(option.selected && option.disabled){
-
option.selected=false;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
-
function addEmulation(selectBox){
-
window.select_current = new Array();
-
selectBox.onfocus = function(){ window.select_current[this.id] = this.selectedIndex; }
-
selectBox.onchange = function(){ restoreEmulateDisabled(this); }
-
}
-
If you are generating your select element with AJAX, just call emulateDisabled(your_select_box);
on the onComplete function.
If you would like to have all your select elements to have this functionality then add this onload function:
-
-
window.onload = function() {
-
if (document.getElementsByTagName) {
-
var s = document.getElementsByTagName("select");
-
if (s.length > 0) {
-
window.select_current = new Array();
-
for (var i=0, select; select = s[i]; i++) {
-
select.onfocus = function(){ window.select_current[this.id] = this.selectedIndex; }
-
select.onchange = function(){ restoreEmulateDisabled(this); }
-
emulateDisabled(select);
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
A big thanks to the guy from lattimore.
cheers mate.
