For the first time this year I’m going to d.construct in Brighton next week. I’m really looking forward to see this little town at the sea. And right after my first d.Construct also my first Barcamp. Flying next Thursday (first flight too) and expecting to return on Sunday evening. So if anyone is in the area drop me a mail for a Brighton meetup.

Looks like I never have to walk more than a few hundred meters

through the years you save a lot on the Internet, just because its so easy.. But what is the use of saving when it becomes so much that you can’t find it back anymore.

The solution is to spent each day a few minutes in trowing away stuff. Delete those saved posts on Bloglines that aren’t interesting or relevant anymore. Throw away all your old received newsletters. Cancel your subscriptions on Flickr streams of people who turned out to be more in to cats than great pics. Remove your read articles from toread in del.icio.us. Free yourself from the clutter… start working on it now! here is my howto guide!

twitter: check your twitter stream, the persons who you are following and you don’t know as a friend have they said anything useful the last ten post, if not, check them to shut up

Flickr Check your Flickr stream, the contacts you are following and don’t know from real live, have the post anything useful the last month, and why where you following them.. If not remove them (i would like to be friends with Flickr people without having their photos on my front page, please Flickr hear my call)

mail Check your mailbox daily, for the following weeks with every mail from a few days old ask yourself shall I ever search my mailbox for this mail, if not, probably remove it. Check your newsletters do you read them at all? if not, just remove them..

Feed reader Order yourself that you have to delete one post every time you save. And never more than 100 post from one feed, in the end you should end up with a list of 100 quality posts that reflect your interest perfectly.. (If there was an end)

Bookmarks check your bookmark site (like Del.icio.us) just check some links at a random page, follow them all and decide which to keep and which to trow away. With Del.icio.us you can visit the page, click right (if you have the plug-in installed) and delete the page from your bookmarks.

Digg Last time I checked my digged pages, I found out I had more that 15 pages! But deleting stuff in Digg goes slowly and painful, not sure how to fight this system yet..
