Why reinvent the wheel? Find the tool that does the thing and does it well.
Ay, that's the rub.
My PDA worked for a while, because while it was limited, it was always there (I amazingly remembered to always carry it for about 6 years). Unfortunately all other systems break down because sooner or later I can't update my global to-do list/schedule, usually when I'm on the road somewhere or some place away from 'net, and then things get out of sync.
Of course more recently work's insistence on Outlook makes things even harder, plus the fact that I really want calendars with different levels of visibility (work doesn't need to know why I'm out on Monday, my friends by contract *can't* know what that meeting on Thursday is about, etc.) and that capability really isn't there anywhere. I could sync a PDA to work's calendar, but haven't found a recent PDA worth spending money on...
And then of course my calendar is shared with galaneia; gcal works okay for this, but other cals are problematic.
And of course my process for handling email seems to conflict with how all email clients are written. Right now I'm compromising by using Outlook's "Flag" command and checking the other 1e06 accounts manually (some don't allow POP/IMAP), but it's a weak fit...
Interesting tool list, but...
