I think I'm trying remember the milk to start.
Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I take back what I said about the Toodledo product. It doesn't actually exist. There is a web back end, and a number of clients from various developers that work with it. I've been grabbing at a few, and it seems I like TppdleTasks well enough to pay for it on my phone while I evaluate the tablet version.
I have noticed, though, that ToodleDo having repeating tasks doesn't mean that all the clients do. This one does. I think I lost a task (at least to the non-recurring handling app I used to test it) with that experimentation. Though I would like an "other interval" option, but still. Like, I'd love an every 2 hour reminder for the headache log I'm about embark upon. Since writing an entry when I have a headache is kinda pointless.
I suspect ToodleTasks has GTD-oriented features, since the bits I don't understand smack of a methodology.t
Does anyone have any suggestions for incorporating business cards into Android's default contact manager? That would be optimal, and no, I don't want to replace contact pictures. I actually need more user features. Colin's gets changed every few months, but outside my immediate family and him, it's pretty dry.
I copy over all the info on each card I get, but it would be handy to have the image too--make me feel better about tossing the original.
Speaking of contacts--my main google accounts, where the contact info is supposed to live--fails to sync right "currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." But all the other accounts sync fine. My Mac syncs just fine--changes seem to populate--what's the what?
Just realised I have a demo version of Cam Card for that very purpose. Will evaluate.
Other stupid question: I'm making an appointment in my calendar (so my phone will tell me when to leave home--I like that), and now I need to type in the address.
WHY? Why do I need to type in am address that's in my address book? Am I missing how to trigger an appointment from the address book, or lookup from the calendar?
And...what does it take to get something into history? Do I need to enable auditing or anything?
ok, I have a weird thing happening. Got my new computer (11" Macbook Air) set up, and loaded Chrome.
When I hit "read new" on Buffistas, Chrome shows me the stuff in the window, but when I scroll down, the posts below the original window are empty, and I have to manually refresh the page to get them to show up.
... this is very weird. It's as though the rest of the page is spoiler-whited. And in fact I can read it by highlighting it, just as if it were spoiler-text.
Any ideas? I'm thinking this is a Chrome problem rather than a Buffistas problem, but really I don't know.
... and the post I just made doens't show up to me! Even though the rest of the page around it does, like this posting window.
Awesome.
tommyrot had the same problem, Consuela tommyrot "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Jul 26, 2013 10:02:40 am PDT
Not that I know what to do about it, but at least you know you have company?
The front page is unusable for me in Chrome, but other people seem not to be having that problem. I don't know--it may be lint checker time again.
ita I am having a similar syncing issue, with my calendar rather than my contacts. I haven't been able to fix it and it is driving me slightly batty.
Okay, removing the accounts and re adding them seems to have worked at least temporarily. Talk about annoying though.
'Suela,
I think buffistas is having a rendering problem (or whatever the technical term is). Since the move, I have ginormous white spaces all over the site when i use chrome. I pretty much have gotten in the habit of doing command-A on the page and the highlight reveals all the text.
