A PocketBook To Do List - a simple idea

Francesco · 02-04-2010, 11:22 PM

I created a folder called ToDo on the root folder of my PB360. Then I added empty txt files named after the tasks in my to-do list*. This is a simple way to create a to-do list that you'll never leave at home (you don't ever leave your PB at home, right?), that has one advantage over a txt file with the list inside: you can actually delete the tasks (or mark them as "read") without the need of a computer.
I think it would be easy for someone to write a program to do that, but meanwhile we have this poor man's to-do list.

* you can do this from the command line with this instruction:
copy NUL task_1.txt

Good idea thanks while owners wait for an app to be devised.

And I have to admit that the PB is the one device I do take everywhere - portability + long battery life. Can't be beaten
