No Comments The todo.txt manager by Gina Trapani moved to a new site recently and has a nice short film to show you what you can do with it and how to use it.
I wrote previously that I edited the script to work as my own text-file manager. I updated the script and created a new .diff
Same changes apply.
A few years ago I sorted through my photos and put all my prints in boxes, sorted per year, month and event (rolls seperated by the indexprint).
With digital stuff, I tend to sort based on category:
I have more categories in some other areas of my life, these basically apply to nearly all areas, nearly all the time. If I don't use it, I'll just not use it.
Yesterday I installed Remind after reading the article at [43folders](http://www.43folders.com/2005/02/24/guest-mike-harris-looks-at-remind/).
I do like to know when the sun rises and sets, but somehow I couldn't get it to work straight away for Amsterdam, NL. The times were completely off. After putting a - in front of the longtitude it turned out fine.

My cell-phone provider lets me send messages to e-mail using txt and the reply will then come back to my cellphone through their e-mail to txt gateway.
This made me think of a setup where I'd send a message to my mailserver (txt message that gets forwarded to e-mail), requesting my shoppinglist. With all the new phones around a special phone e-mailaddress would also work.
After discovering the todo.txt manager by Gina Trapani from lifehacker I decided to give it a try.
All todo-applications annoyed the hell out of me, even though I really do like a good GUI. It just never did what I wanted to do, involved a lot of mouse-clicking and most of the time took too much time to set up and adjust to my needs. I don't mind using a mouse, but using only a mouse makes my arm hurt.
The project has since moved to todotxt.com and I joined the mailinglist. My version has a few additions the current official version doesn't have and I've uploaded the .diff.
The most important changes I made:
Michael Nobbs' latest book!
