Flipping the Linux switch: Forgetful penguins love Tasque

Tasque notesDo you forget stuff? Do you wonder where the heck you put the keys when they're in your right hand? Do you get in the shower with your socks still on? Do you ever get to the bus stop, and realize you can't recall if you've put on pants? We're the only ones? Really? Damn.

We're willing to bet you can still benefit from Tasque, even if you just need reminders about the things normal people put on their to-do lists.

There are a few other to-do list applications in Linux, but most lack the finesse that Tasque is already bringing to the table. Tasque is a newcomer (it got its start at last year's Hackweek), and seems well on its way to becoming a big player.

Tasque (pronounced "Task") is a unified frontend for a number of backends. Honest to god, we don't mean anything obscene by that. What we mean is, it's a very standard graphical interface that works with a number of to-do and database types to make your to-do list dynamic.

Voo2do - online to do list and more

voo2doI don't know how we missed this, but Voo2do is a very cool web-based time management spreadsheet, also known as a to do list. Well, it's more than that, obviously. And while it doesn't have all the yummy features of something like Backpack, it is pretty nice. There's something to be said for simplicity, at least. Most important, Voo2do added some features yesterday that really make it worth using. The ability to edit notes, for instance, might have been a deal-breaker for some. That's fixed. There's nascent support for group work too, which is very nice (I'd like to see this improved upon for sure). For those of you wanting more, Voo2do also has an API. Thanks Todd!
