::sigh:: It’s a YAWAT-TAISY: Yet Another Web Application Thingy-That Assumes I Started Yesterday.
Web 2.0 is the new black. I love that. I love the idea of using a clean, beautiful web interface to keep the details of my life organized. I love that the browser is a platform so it only matters whether or not I’m using Firefox, not whether or not I’m running OS X or Windows XP.
But I’m getting really tired of these Web 2.0 wannabe services launching to great fanfare and the only way to use the service is to start from scratch. Do these folks think I wrote notes on my hand before they came along?
I tried [Remember the Milk](http://www.rememberthemilk.com) for a week and found it to have great potential but seriously lacking. I decided to go back to using Outlook to manage tasks, as much as I dislike it (I love Outlook for appointments/events, just not tasks/to-dos). I had to manually move the tasks back (after manually putting them there in the first place).

2. In “overview” mode (where you can see everything across all tasks) you can’t click on a task to mark it as complete. To mark it, you have to go fishing through categories to find the task and mark it there.
I gave them feedback on both issues and was promised it was something they were working on. But in the meantime, I have to get stuff done and I found that it was much better than Ta-Da, but not enough yet to replace Outlook.
Of slackers and the like
Anyone do late movies any more? This was the late show here at CrabAppleLane last night. Actually, it?s a DVD we bought a few months ago. We?ve both seen it several times since we got married. It came up in conversation once and I discovered that Patsy…
