Hahah I say hi to 11yo at 0630 when he gets on bus, put the 6yo on his,
call the therapy Mom for five minutes a couple mornings a week and text the
18 yo daughter yes in the morning to annoy her before walking over or up to
my frog office heheh.  I do kiss Mrs. Shaw goodbye though.  The 80% I'm
home I get the boys from the bus and supervise snack and homework unless
they have to fend for themselves while I'm on a call.

Becky has access to my personal calendar to tell me where I need to be and
when and can see time blocks marked off but no details for my work
calendar.  We will talk and make plans then she puts it in my calendar or
I'm still in pjs when we're supposed to be leaving.

Another vote for Evernote.  Syncs with Nevernote for Linux, Android phone
and log in via web anywhere else.

Regarding articles, I save things to Pocket and read them on my Android
later.

Since I have the similar age, kid, time problems as Kevin, sometimes it's
a matter of talking with the spouse and coming to an agreed upon times
times at home.

I commute by bus ~ 1hr each way.  Those are good times to mess with things
and/or read or listen to podcasts as well if that is available.

You know, I've found using Evernote and Baskets has helped me
significantly, especially when it may be days in between working with
something I want to mess with and the time I learn about it (calendar
reminders help too).

Being 38, having two kids at home, one in college and one five hours away
in therapy in PA, coaching soccer and five or so clients for my job at
once, I have to do something to curb my ADD and keep all the new data
organized and even prioritized.  Keeping Baskets on one machine and syncing
Evernote between computers and smartphone helps my focus.

I'm bombarded with articles to read, presentations to watch, new tools
to try and new versions of existing tools to try. This list grows faster
than I can get through them so I need to store them for when I have spare
time to read, watch and try out tools. Once I've tried and tested tools I
like to make note of the commands and switches to use as I'm getting old
and can't remember every switch for every command.

Does anyone have tips for storing all of this information. I've thought
about writing up articles once I've tested everything and storing them as a
blog locally on my Mac to reference during a pentest but this takes time
too. There's plugins for Chrome for the Mac and apps for the iPhone which
sync but I don't want to simply store a link to a website as if I'm onsite
during a test and Internet access isn't permitted then I'm stuffed.

Ideally I want something that is local, quick and easy to store for
later, but that can be structured sufficiently that I can find the
information quickly should I need it.

Any ideas?
