You should know me better than that! of course a couple of quid would never stop a CRIMPer worth their name. it's just that I don't own an iOS device. And that's where I draw the line. ..

After what was probably the most challenging summer of my life (I may talk about that another time...) I decided to buy myself a gift and purchased the Galaxy Note 8" tablet. It is a very good piece o...

The two main advantages of MarkDown go hand in hand:
- it is stored in plain text files, so you can use it with any editor

Better Bookmarking?

Like Steve, I use Linkstash as my main 'classic' bookmarker. It is light, fast and browser-agnostic. The latter is particularly important for me as over the years my main browser has been Opera, then ...
Is a Semantic Web in Your Future?

Since you are still looking for alternatives, I suggest you try out Todoist http://todoist.com/ also discussed here in the past. If you don't need a Linux client it may suit your needs fine, and you s...
TaskUnifer
