King

Outlining and XML

It may not sound sexy, but outlining is how some of the best organize their thoughts. While OmniOutliner may be king of the hill, but you’d be surprised how many great free outliners there are.

Join me for some great freeware that will shake up your blogrolls, shownotes and more in this week’s Freeloader Friday.

MacMerc.com offers live coverage of Steve Jobs’ Macworld keynote address

As has been the tradition since MacMerc was launched, we will be hosting live Macworld keynote coverage that pushes the envelope by bringing you in on the action. We will have 3 reporters at the keynote address and simultaneously connected and posting to the MacMerc IRC chat–that’s IRC, not iChat. Our men in the field this expo include our own Jon Gales, “DigitalBill” Douthett of the Wizards of Technology and, on color commentary, tech broadcasting king Leo Laporte.

The Macworld keynote is scheduled for Tuesday, January 11th from 8AM-11AM (PST) and Mr. Jobs is expected to take the stage at 9am.

To take full advantage of this coverage, download an IRC client (we are recommending Conversation) and log on to irc.slashnet.org and join the channel #mercworld (a moderated channel where you can watch the announcements from our reporters) and #macmerc (an unmoderated channel where you can discuss the announcements with the other Mac fans. Any questions?

Our coverage of the Expo won’t end when the keynote is over. No, we have many other surprises in store for you. So get yourself set up to chat, and keep an eye on MacMerc.com for all the MacWorld Expo excitement.
