Interesting little program for maintaining todo lists:
freshmeat.net: Project details for Developer Todo
I gave it a quick spin and it’s nice, but I’ve been pretty happy with using TWiki for managing tasks, plus it doubles as my status report. It might be interesting if I could use devtodo or an external script to generate in TWiki format, but I’m not sure it’d be worth the effort.
This site has some great extensions that I haven’t seen before. My biggest find here was an extension that allows you to Fcc – in other words, while composing your message, you can designate that it will get saved in a particular folder (other than your default “Sent” folder) – this is great if you’re delegating a task to someone and thus want to file your email to them in a @Wait (or @Delegated) folder so that you can check your open loops periodically. There are some other great extensions at this site, like one that allows you to use shortcut keys to quickly move messages to folders of your choosing and another that lets you edit the subject and date of messages.
This was mentioned by the teacher in my project management class. The two theories describe hypothetical and conflicting ways in which people are motivated to work.
Another open-source, standards-based calendaring tool. This one is written in Java.

I tried CIC WordComplete 3.1 for Palm OS and wasn’t terribly impressed. I had high hopes that word completion would make using my Palm a more pleasant experience, but I found that this utility did nothing but get in my way. Since I tend to write directly on my screen with the slider closed on my T2, the popups with the word suggestions tend to get triggered by my writing, the software does not detect that I am making strokes rather than tapping. It also seems to get confused sometimes and think that I started a new word even though I didn’t make a space.
I ended up uninstalling it after about 20 minutes.
Being a huge fan of Firefox and Thunderbird, this looks like it could have a lot of potential:
Slashdot | Mozilla Sunbird’s First Official Release
When is this going to be publically available?

This article is from 2001 and I still haven’t seen any software that can transcribe on a Palm.
