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!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I did upgrade from the Synology that you have, Gud, to the Drobo that Drew has. It's working great for all the boring stuff, but I'm thinking about working on the media server bits today. I mean, yes, I have lots of other work work to do, but it'll all go so much more swimmingly if I have media being served to me, yes?

Anybody have good task/to do software? Starting a new role that's even more high volume, but also more deadline driven. I need something visual that clearly shows due dates, has the ability to do warnings, and is easily updated.

Our wings are not tired

We just started using Wunderlist here in the office and are quite fond of it. Links across multiple platforms, very flexible.

I love Todoist, myself, since Astrid died.

Coding and Sleeping

I use the Android-only 'Open Tasks'

However it's pretty basic and the big attraction for me is that it integrates with my private cloud. There are probably better featured apps, but if you like simple it might be worth a look and it's free.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'll second Wunderlist. Started using it at the end of the school year. Share tasks with others on the list. Have private lists. Actually, rather useful.

Thanks! Doesn't need to be portable or sharable, this is for work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ran into some extra money so I bought an Apple Watch. I'm in the store getting it set up now.

Ooooh.

Hey, did you ever get that mindfulness device, Spire was it?

Yeah. I was unable to get it to load data to my iPhone Health app. Dunno if I'm still going to use it one I get the watch set up.
