back to the to-do drawing list

Nope, RTM doesn't transmit the names of the smart lists to the phone as categories like I thought it would.

GTD revisited again (and again)

Looks like September is my month for working on my system. I've recently upgraded to an Android device (oh, the joy of no longer being tied to Windows Mobile) and am now trying to figure out how to get GTD working on it. As you know if you've read any of my other posts on this topic, I'm a nut for PocketInformant on the WM platform, so it was the first app I purchased on Android.

Software

My most common pieces of software on my Palm (Oh, I forgot to mention that Handera is built on a Palm basis - older version now but still going strong): Datebook: Pimlico Software DateBk5 Contacts: Chapura KeyContacts (www.chapura.com) ToDo: Code Jedi's Shadow (www.codejedi.com) Memos & Doc reader/writer: Blue Nomad's WordSmith (www.bluenomad.com) Input: MessageEase Launcher: Launcher X Password holder: CryptInfo Bible Reader: OliveTree Spreadsheet: Tiny Sheet Hacks: X-Master Find-hack: FindHack 3.6 I've got a bunch of other stuff (ah, the beauty of Palm OS) but if you have these then you've got the core of what, for me, is a very productive PDA. Enjoy!
