Pretty much sums up Indy 4

Note: I still liked it. But I'm terribly, terribly forgiving. All I need is a few good scenes.

Task Management

After searching all over the place for a decent web-based heirarchical task management system I eventually ended up playing with Tasks Pro, which seems to do everything I want it to.

Sadly, they don't do a two-user version of the software, and one of the things I wanted was to share tasks back and forth with Julie, so we could leave reminders for each other, plan things, etc. They did have a 5-user version however, so that's what I ended up with.

If anyone is interested in using one of the remaining, you can have one for £10. I'm finding it completely invaluable, and I've got more done in the last couple of weeks than I've managed in ages before that, and have managed to not forget all sorts of useful things.

If you just want a simple single-user version, they have a cut-down one called tasks-jr that you can have for free (you'll have to host it yourself though - requires PHP and MySQL).

delicious -> livejournal reposter

If anyone is using this, and is fed up with it having incorrect timestamps on it (and the problems this causes if you already have a post after the nominal time it things it's running at) then I have a fixed version.

I can chuck you a copy, or you can simply update the constructResponse method to read like so:

	$options = 
	array(
		'taglist'=>"delicious glue,links",
		'opt_preformatted'=>true
	);
	$event = $postdata;
	$tz = new DateTimeZone('Europe/London');
	$date = new DateTime();
	$date->setTimezone($tz);
	$year = $date->format('Y');
	$mon = $date->format('n');
	$day = $date->format('j');
	$hour = $date->format('G');
	$min = $date->format('i');
	$subject = 'Delicious LiveJournal Links for '.$mon.'-'.$day.'-'.$year;

Obviously you'd replace 'Europe/London' with whatever timezone you happen to live in (list here).

Oh, this also turns off autoformatting, which makes the posts more compact.

Buncha Commies

I'm amused to note that pretty much everyone on The Political Compass app on Facebook is to the left of me. We're all clustered in the bottom left hand quadrant, of course, but I seem to be more laissez faire than everyone else.
