Thank you Jessica, I thought I was going nuts cause I didn't see it either.

Maybe if you log out and log back in? Gmail times me out once in a while, and then once back in, there was this new madness.

We got a notice that it was coming like a month ago at work. I think I got it in the last week or two. Haven't checked my personal account to see what it looks like.

I like the idea of it, but I just don't get enough email to warrant the separation, especially without the ability to tell if I have new mail at a glance.

Can anyone recommend a task list application for Android that was designed with GTD in mind? I see a couple, but they all look fairly young.

Speaking of fairly young, I'm barely anywhere in the book. Would a GTD-aware tool even be important?

Do any of Android's apps show Google Tasks through to Android? I'm also looking at a couple pass thrus of that. Which was spiked by seeing a calendar widget which looked better than my current one and could mix our corporate email application (Touchdown) with a number of other email and task sources. I need this since work stopped allowing use of the native Android Exchange client facilities. Not secure enough, they said.

All the iPads and iPhones store encrypted automatically, and if you lose or have yours stolen they will wipe THE WHOLE THING. They also do this when you're fired/leave the company. Standard IT process is to uninstall that email connection before you give notice.

While Touchdown is supposed to be giving the same level of encryption, the full device wipe will not be needed. But it's still in "beta" which seems to be code for "only a few lucky bastards in IT". When I brought my third device to get set up they told me to get a life.

One of the guys in Marketing was dangling his Surface, and mentioned a best-of-both-worlds scenario. Apparently IT/corporate can have a partition of your drive, and they can remotely nuke that as they see fit, but your stuff is yours. And apparently they can also be more granular about what still works when you connect in via VPN.

Inneresting.

No, really, it is. Read it again and see. Task list application help! GTD or Google Tasks! (I've been synching to it from Astrid, so there's that...)

Shoot, I really do need to find an Astrid replacement, don't I?

It was HORRIBLE, Liese. Everything has annoyed me so far. I didn't know repeating tasks were suck a fancy idea.

That is driving me crazy about Google Tasks! I have to reset the due date instead of checking anything off, as far as I can tell. So stupid.

If one of the Google task-interfacing tools put that in their app logic instead, it'd be great. But I'm a heavy user of "repeat x days from due date" and "repeat x days from date completed". The minute I'm back in control of scheduling those is where it starts to fall apart.

Lifehacker research seemed to indicate that The Milk App had fairly straightforward functionality in the paid version only, so I wasn't going there, but fuck, if there's a paid version of any task manager, I WANT RECURRING TASKS.

I peeked at some GTD apps, and I think I don't know enough about the methodology to dive in now. Not up for all that change at once.

One app, lord, it automatically added my 12 google accounts to it, and the settings screen for unselecting them forced you to do it one at a time--kicked you back to the front page every time. Meanwhile, I'm getting that system message asking if I want to give the app access to the 10 google accounts I don't want to, and that's coming so fast I can't get back into setting. I ended up turning off Wi Fi to give myself a fighting chance, but...not great first impression, guys.

Never mind that Astrid did such a crap job of synching with Google Tasks that maybe I should start again anyway. But I would like to push the tasks there anyway, even if the fancy logic is in the app.

Synch was always my weak point with Astrid, but I gave up on 6 or 7 apps last night already. So lucky/Buffista informed to have started off on the right foot, even if Yahoo is fucking us over now.

If one of the Google task-interfacing tools put that in their app logic instead, it'd be great.

That possibility had not occurred to me. I'm gonna have to start looking at iOS apps for that functionality, I think.

Eta: two possibilities that I will evaluate over the next few days, awesome.
