The Personal Productivity Show #015 – Buzz Bruggeman (Activewords) & Brad Meador (Clear Context)
The Personal Productivity Show #015 (MP3 – 20MB – 56min)
Had a chat with Buzz and Brad this morning about the Activewords scripts now available for Clear Context. Some of you might remember that Des (where the heck is he, btw?) and I chatted with Brad about Clear Context back in September. Well this is the update!
Since then, of course, I’ve stopped using Microsoft Outlook for my email, so I’m no longer using CC, but Brad and Buzz think I’ll go back once Office 12 ships next year. They’ve both been playing with it and sound pretty impressed. I’m skeptical, but we’ll see. As long as I can find one of my ex-colleagues to give me a freebie (can’t see The Podcast Network accountants forking over $1000 for it…).
Apologies for the crappy Skype line – it’s okay as long as I don’t talk (my voice was echoing back to me), which fortunately is most of the time. Buzz does most of the talking, which is exactly what you want. The guy knows his stuff. :-)
Oh, make sure you listen through to the end of the show, there’s a FREE PRIZE INSIDE!

Hey Cam
I’m here. But been a tad busy. New Surface Interval is almost ready to go, been on a dive boat for a week, was chief referee at a national karate championship yesterday and got a Uni exam to do next week. Oh yeah, and work.
I’ll look forward to getting back on the air on The Personal Productivity Show next week!
Best

Hi guys,
Still loving the podacasts, keep up the great work!
Like you both, I’d love to move away from Outlook, but the biggest problem I have is that most of the alternatives I’ve tried (eg sunbird, Time and Chaos) don’t seem to deal with exchange servers. At work the exchange server is used alot for public folders for booking rooms and shared equipment. The other thing I would miss if I moved from Outlook is the ability to drag and drop emails re: seminars and meetings into my calendar.
Do you guys know of any Outlook alternatives that would solve this. I still use MyLifeOrganized for all of my project/task/GTD organizing, but use outlook for Calendar, contact and email.
Cheers,
David.

David – sorry about the delay in answering your comment… it showed up late. Weird.
Anyway – no, I don’t know of any other client app which will work with Microsoft Exchange.
