The Biography Show #001 – Alexander The Great

by | Feb 9, 2008 | Podcast, TPN

It’s been a while since we’ve launched a new show on TPN so I’m excited to announce The Biography Show starts today! David Markham and I have enjoyed some great feedback from the audience of our Napoleon 101 podcast, so we’re doing another series together. The idea behind The Biography Show is to examine the lives of some of history’s most influential people. We kick off the series with a 90 minute talk about the life of Alexander III of Macedon, otherwise known as Alexander “The Great”.

Paris accommodation

After the International Napoleonic Society conference that’s being held in Corsica in July, I intend on spending a few days in Paris (July 12 – 15). If anyone out there has recommendations on affordable accommodation, please let me know. 🙂

a great podcast on email productivity

I just caught up today with this show Tony Goodson did back in early December on TPN’s Productivity Show and it’s a corker, one of those shows I wish I had listened to with a pen and pad handy so I could take notes. If you struggle to get through your email like I do, then I recommend this show. Lots of great tips in it.

Drag attachments into Gmail

I just stumbled across this FIrefox extension which allows you to drag and drop attachments into Gmail instead of having to search for them. Brilliant. I thought the recent update to Gmail allowed you to drag emails into folders? Can’t seem to get this working though. Any suggestions?
