So, Matt Mecham made a new post on his blog (which I occassionally check for updates that he makes once a month, or once every two depending on his workload) and he actually had another update! Okay, so I have an infatuation with reading programmer's blogs, regardless of what they talk about.
He got in on the discussion of a To-Do list and how he uses a Post-It® Note to ink out things he needs to do -- in this day and age, and a programmer to boot! Okay, well...so do I. Actually, he's got one better on me, I have multiple pieces of scrap paper with short-term tasks spread across my desk, with notes and technical references piled around them. Either way, there's a decent discussion about what software items some of the other people use.
I just took a quick gander at one of them, and it was pretty cool. It's one of those "Web 2.0" styled sites, where it interacts with YOU on a broader scale than most, such as sending SMS messages to your cellphone to keep you up-to-date on things you should be doing, as well as maps things out for you from mashups of Google Maps. Remember The Milk. Funny name, pretty cool looking though.
I also looked at my beloved (not my script, just my choice) "GTD-PHP" script (there's a demo) and noticed the developer updated it quite a bit, at least the UI and styling. To be honest, I'm not sure if I like it, but I think it's just CSS styling, so I should be able to just continue using the old CSS stylesheet. Either way, I need to upgrade.
Another online application that's currently in closed-beta is looking pretty darn cool. If this thing's going to be free, I'm a monkey's uncle. The amount of AJAX and DOM Scripting used is unprecedented, but done well. You'll have to take a look for yourself. Scrybe - Demo Movie. The voiceover talent has a thick Indian accent, so I'm assuming that's also where this script is being developed, not that it matters, but the accent was deep.
