I am looking for a web-application to manage contacts... but I'm not
looking for "just an address book"... I guess this isn't especially
gentoo, but I'd ideally like to run a server on my gentoo box, so I hope
I can be forgiven for asking here.
Personally, I'm absolutely awful at remembering people's names or
dates... I'm not so bad at remembering their jobs; where I met them;
their opinions about cuisine or cars etc. etc. The snag I find is that
I tend to forget the details that would be most useful to remember -
while I remember all the trivia. I forget when I last spoke to
occasional acquaintances - and about details that don't mean much to me
at the time... for example, about spouses or partners if I meet in a
work environment.
What I'm looking for is some software to help me to collate details
about my occasional contacts... the idea being that if I expect to meet
someone I've not met for a while, I've an aide memoir about whom
introduced me - and the last time we spoke.
Does anyone know of any application to do this? An open-source
web-application would be perfect as it would allow me to run a private
server - hence eliminating potential security and privacy concerns -
while making the information available independent of the kit I have on
my desk. Key features would include some sort of standard form to help
jog my memory to enter details I might forget - while being flexible
enough not to try and pigeon-hole the people I meet.
Any suggestions? Any good experiences? I guess I could even pay for an
application like this - if it was good... though not a lot, of course,
since this would be a personal purchase.
Ideas?
- [gentoo-user] Web application for contact management... Steve
