I used to use the email route for everything, and I still use it for
certain types of record keeping. But around the 1st my partner decided to
play with Cold fusion and he set us up a "resources" and "don't forget"
database with a web form to add new info. Now I put the URLs and other
"this article would be good for XXX project" info into our form, and I can
rest easy knowing I'll be able to find the info when I want it. As a
related result, I've finally stopped bugging him about the worthless NT box
he cluttered up our office with (since that's what's hosting all the CF
stuff) so he's happy, and I finally don't have to have 20 different email
folders just for my "don't forget" emails! 

Also, in the same week he built our CF doohickey, I got my long-desired new
tech toy, a Palm III. Now notes just meant for me (i.e. "buy Naga a bd
card") go in my Palm while work stuff goes into the CF database. For two
whole weeks now I haven't lost a single URL nor have I wandered around the
house looking for my "personal" to-do list when I should have been doing
work stuff. It's really been nice. Weird, but nice.

card from my Palm....)
