• 12.16.07 Things Alpha posted in General

  I got the invitation to the alpha of Things from Cultured Code today. While some aspects of task organization are confusing at first, I’m immediately appreciating the flexibility of the system. I’m also appreciating the fact that it seems to be built around the way I actually organize my tasks, allowing for a Next Action view that can be manually converted into a “Today” view. Built in support for “Someday” and “Postponed” make for instant compatibility with the systems I had previously created manually in other programs. The usefulness of the tagging system in my own workflow will be determined as I play with it further. I’m reluctant to make a complete switch, first because it’s alpha, second because at this point there’s no synch or import feature that I’m aware of. Too much trouble and not a wide enough safety net. I am, however, really psyched to watch this one develop.

• 11.21.07 iGTD Back From The Brink posted in Geekery

  Bartek has released the third iGTD Leopard fix, correcting every last issue that had originally forced me to forsake it. So here I am in the middle of getting used to OmniFocus, having already paid for a license, and the comfort of my old ways is calling me back. I’m a little torn, and I’m thinking I’m going to stay put right where I am and ride this little wave of GTD excitement out. Things announced the completion of their Alpha today and promised their mailing list recipients Beta copies by Christmas. OmniFocus has released updates daily (sometimes twice) and have added multiple new features since the release of the public beta. And iGTD2 is looking pretty sweet. So I’m not doing any more importing/exporting/iCal hackery of my extensive todo list until I’ve had a chance to try all of the above and decide on the “one”. I guess this tingly feeling is some kind of “organization excitement”. And here I thought I was just getting annoyed.

• 11.19.07 Things Screencast posted in Geekery

  Tagamac has produced a screencast that takes a look at the upcoming GTD release from Cultured Code: “Things“. It’s an in-depth look that should generate some excitement about what looks like it’s going to be another substantive entry in the OSX GTD app arena. Take a look and then jump on the mailing list on the Things homepage to get on the list for a beta!
