Relevance: 7.18

Relevance: 6.70
If you spend most of your time in OpenOffice.org, you might want to be able to manage to-do lists and tasks without leaving the comfort of the office suite. Since Writer doesn't have such a feature, you can create your own no-frills task tool and at the same time sharpen your OOoBasic skills. In a previous article, we covered how to build a handy basket tool. You can use the same techniques when creating a simple task manager. The one we'll build offers only three basic commands: add a task, view all tasks, and purge tasks.

Three to-do list managers for GNU/Linux

10/24/2008  IIII
Relevance: 5.56
Tasque (pronounced"task") is a to-do manager built with C# and Mono, created as part of Novell's Hackweek v2. The application interface is really simple; in fact, you have to click on the Tasque icon in the system tray to find most of the options. Adding a new task is a breeze -- just type in the name for your to-do in the text box on the top of the interface and click Add. Tasque shows many categories natively, but you can't update or create new categories. (The software is still in beta, and more category functionality is expected in a future release.) You can set due dates and priority ratings (a number between for 1, 2, and 3, or"-" for no rating) by clicking on the corresponding columns in the interface. Notifications for upcoming due dates aren't supported yet, but you can set notes to store more information within the task itself.

Relevance: 5.26
I guess you all know this: you are connected to your server with SSH and in the middle of compiling some software (e.g. a new kernel) or doing some other task which takes lots of time, and suddenly your connection drops for some reason, and you lose your labour. This can be very annoying, but fortunately there is a small utility called screen which lets you reattach to a previous session so that you can finish your task. This short tutorial shows how to use screen for just this purpose.
