   This isn’t very Mail.app related, but heck… neither are Space Pens!

   I’ve just posted a comment on the post that is the subject of this post… And I’m going to duplicate that here, because GTD TiddlyWiki is something that I really believe in. (I’ll even link the links here — something I neglected to do there)

   Nice work!

   I know talks about GTD methods can get a little religious, so I don’t mean to start anything, but I just wanted to point something out… just because I don’t think a lot of people know about it.

   There are TiddlyWiki solutions that may be able to replace your Backpack and probably your OmniOutliner too.

   Take a look at MonkeyGTD and d3 (”d cubed”) for an example of this. You can find them at:

   http://www.dcubed.ca/
   http://simonbaird.com/monkeygtd/

   You may also want to see a version of “d cubed” that looks more like the original GTDTW.

   There are descriptions of these things at (among other places) the 43folders Wiki:

   http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/D3
   http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Monkey_GTD

   It may be a good idea to take a look at the special note for Mozilla users on those pages. Sometimes (with TiddlyWiki) you have to adjust your “dom.max_script_run_time” in your “about:config” configuration.

   Something else I want to add is that if you have a web server available to you, you can install the UploadPlugin, which is available from:

   http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/#UploadPlugin

   This plugin allows you to store these wikis on-line. (otherwise you can carry one on your USB drive — you can even store a “portable” version of Firefox on that drive too!)

   Thanks, Ted. No worries about Mail.app-relatedness. The blog would have ground to a halt months ago if that was all that got posted here!

   Thanks for the links too.
