Tasks by King Design

Tasks by King DesignTasks is YAOTMP (yet another online task management product) but when I think back it may be that it was one of the first. It's a very well designed and functional task management program that appears to have all the features you could ask for:
  • Tagging
  • Hierarchical organization of tasks
  • Mobile interface
  • Prioritize
  • Email reminders
  • Task templates
  • Ability to create tasks from e-mails
  • Favorite tasks
  • iCalendar and RSS support
  • Notes
  • File Uploads
  • Multiple Task Edit
  • Themes
  • Auto-check for updates to both software and documentation
Tasks is not hosted; it is software that you download and install on your own web server. In my mind this is good and bad; the good is that you can control where you put it, so that you can ensure it ends up on a fast host that is not too popular. The bad is that you're responsible to maintain your installation yourself, which is something I'm less and less inclined to do these days. I personally don't want to be messing with the nuts and bolts of my task management system, I just want it to work. But clearly many people do want that level of control.

Tasks costs $29.95 USD to purchase, although there is a free trial available for 21 days via a hosted account. If you decide to continue using Tasks, they will send you your data along with the install files upon purchase. There is also a hosted version of Tasks called UseTasks, which costs $3.95 USD per month for the Personal edition.

I haven't yet had the opportunity to install and try Tasks, so if you have please drop us a note in the comments and let us know what your experience has been like.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
