Professionally Confused – Egor Shokurov’s blog

Long time no speak..

It’s few days as I moved to Mac OS X Lion and this made me sick of more old stuff. I decided to migrate my To Dos from OmniFocus to Things. There is a useful script at CulturedCode site, however it took some tweaking to do exactly what I wanted.

Here is the result (Download OmniFocus_2_Things.scpt). The advantage of the original version is that it creates Areas rather than Projects for all OmniFocus projects, which are not “sequential”.

This script started based on several other existing scripts that I found, but ended up been mostly new content by the time I was done.

I am not an apple script expert, but was able to get this running well enough that I could import my 600 or so tasks from OmniFocus back into Things.

Make sure you back up all your files before you start running this.

Imported are:

• projects
• areas (non-sequential projects)
• inbox tasks
• due dates
• flagged (as a tag)
• context (as a tag)
• notes

Enjoy!

Here is how it looks:

A new magazine is starting up in March 2009, devoted to design of services. The magazine is named Touchpoint, it is run by Service Design Network, organization I mentioned in one of my previous posts. Touchpoint is a 50 pages, four-monthly edition, annual subscription costs € 33 plus delivery from Germany.

I am glad Service Design Network is growing and getting more followers

“Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take on more and more expensive debt, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to the bankruptcy of all banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”
