The recording of Gyronix CEO Nik Tipler's webinar on using GyroQ is now available. The audio isn't all that hot, but the content is good, particularly around 32:45 if you are a MindReader fan :-).
On a related note, David Allen's long-time tech guru Eric Mack has a MindJet Webinar on Wednesday March 28th [...]

Hans poured over the MindReader code and made several great suggestions, additions, and bug-fixes. For example, MindReader now adds a gray "blob" icon if it does not a responsible resource or an action verb to use in assigning a context. The big addition though is of a new GyroQ MindReader "s" tag. [...]

RSS Feeds were recently implemented for both the Yahoo MindManager and GTD_MindManager groups via mailbucket.org. The MindManager group focuses on general MindManager issues. The GTD_MindManager group focuses on utilizing MindManager for GTD, with lots of ResultsManager discussion. The group recently passed the 1100 member mark and is growing steadily each week. [...]

The MindManager Viewer Browser Plug-in provides a convenient way to share MindManager maps to a broad audience without requiring them to own MindManager or to install the desktop viewer application. It can be particularly hand on an intranet as means to avoid read-only users from locking out people needing to edit maps.
The [...]

The recent GTD Phone Home post described a method for automatically capturing voice input from Jott and/or email input sent to mailbucket into a ResultsManager in-tray using the MindManager rss smart map part.
The method works surprisingly well except for one hitch — each time you refresh the rss map part, it re-imports all the topics. [...]

How are you ever going to keep your inbox empty if GyroQ keeps putting an updated plain text outline of your ResultsManager "Daily Action" dashboard in it every morning?
That problem aside, web-based email is now nearly universally accessible from home and work, and increasingly by mobile phone. Always having an updated next-actions list [...]

Early last month there was some discussion on the GTD_MindManager Yahoo group brainstorming about ways we might be able to communicate into ResultsManager remotely someday using email or smartphones. Tommy pointed out a blog entry on using mailbucket to email entries into MindManager using the RSS smart map part.
Around the same time a post [...]

One of of the perennial questions that comes up when using ResultsManager, or almost any personal productivity system for that matter, is how to handle with repeating items. Many repeating items (e.g. daily exercise, weekly review, etc) are important items that you want to "put in front of the door" to develop [...]

One of my favorite GyroQ tags is "cna" (Copy Next Actions), which is described in the "Next Actions to Go" post. It takes my current ResultsManager "Daily Actions" dashboard (typically the one I've regenerated overnight), finds the next actions branch, and copies them to the clipboard as a plain text outline for pasting into [...]

A earlier post on ActivityOwner.Com introduced a GyroQ tag to mark a task complete in a dashboard or map and save a copy of the task in a year/month/date-sorted "completed" map. The tag works well, but can be a little slow as the "completed" map grows in size. While GyroQ's selection [...]

[Note: Gyronix is implementing some improvements in how they store tag information in the GyroQ.ini file. This may require you to reinstall some activityowner.com tags that rely on inline macros if you install the pre-release version 1.9.3. If you get an error, just go to the tag library and paste fresh packed-text [...]
