Eric, just as a side note I think that's great that you're looking at MLO even though it may not be what you need. I hope it eventually can grow further for both our sake I wish I could have used MLO where I worked previously (looking for work now) but they were not forward thinking at all a

Well I don't want to get into a debate about TaskMerlin having any number of subtasks you desire. In as much any product can be utilized with GTD methodology in mind or thinking outside of the box and using software solutions such as these for purposes which they are not advertised (such as ta

Just had a very quick look at all of these products and they all look as if they are targeted at the project management use case rather than the individual personal task management use case which I think is MLO's target market. From: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com [mailto:mylifeorganized@goo

Nat - while I sympathize with your ideas: 1. It's Andrey's show not mine nor yours 2. The rules engine isn't written in Java - as best I can tell probably Delphi 3. It kills offline usage for most us (I fly and travel a lot often without Wifi access) 4. Latency kills - if you're

If you have 'Inherit parent contexts' checked, then the context entry box gets greyed out. You can't both inherit contexts and add extra ones, unfortunately. Stéph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group. To view this discussion on t

Hi Dwight; I agree that 99% is an exaggeration -for now- but we are getting closer to that as more wifi hotspots become easier to access for free for a variety of reasons. Of course in my scheme of things current syncing technology would still be available, but would not need be upgraded to newer t

And I work offline *a lot* of the time. I need my data and functionality on my devices rather than online. Interesting idea, but it would be a deal-breaker for me. Now if the non-GUI elements were on my local device, I wouldn't have a problem with decoupling them from the GUI. Stéph -- You r

The notes are great, yes, but those first two fail in other areas. TaskMerlin lacks subtasks which take it out of the game IMO and EssentialPIM lacks anything like MLO. The tasks area is wanting. Since we're referencing software, my open source reference earlier was to ToDoList put out by Abstr

Nat: Interesting approach and one worthy of some discussion. But I want to immediately resist the suggestion that 99% of MLO is used while online anyhow. It's certainly not true for me. If a redesign were to make offline usage difficult or awkward, I would find myself paying high fees for data netw

Mark, I was about to start a new thread on MLO re-design for some time now and your post has finally prompted me to do so. Besides Mac/Linux problem, many other problems would be bypassed as well with the following proposal. In short: 1. The ingenious rules engine (and database) should be complete

No not really. The Rapid Task Entry has a C*o*ntexts input box on the bottom but is greyed out. I can't find a way to enable it... I'd love a way to select Context(s) for tasks I enter without having to spell the entire Context out! Since Auto-complete is not implemented, I'd like to selec
