A Little Can Be A Lot in Todo Q

Recently we added a custom field at the request of a user. We labeled it identifier, and it is located below the priority field in the editor. The label for this field is customizable via the settings menu. This is why I love this model. In my day job, I NEVER talk to customers.

Here' a shot of the editor and the new custom field.



This field is indexed and you can filter on it from the task list.

Todo Q is available on the Android Market.

Todo Q v1.0.21 for Android merges the Contacts, Calendar and Navigation functions of your phone into one application. This latest release adds a searchable, customizable field to the task entry screen. Very useful if you have a piece of "identifying information" on a client, etc. We've also recently added due date and a high priority indicator to the task list, plus even more sorting and filtering options.

Here's a shot of the task list showing location icons, contact icons, and the new mm/dd due date display and "!" indicator for high priority tasks.



Here we see the editor screen with the Quick Contact Badge enabled after we've selected a contact from the phone. The "Add to Calendar" checkbox will add the task to your phone calendar & sync with the online calendar.



The locations associated with tasks are mapped & available as navigation destinations from the task list, location list, and location editor.

Todo Q for Android Quick Tutorial in PDF

Here is a copy of the tutorial in PDF format. Maybe I should call it more of an overview, but the point is that you don't need a book to use it.

Todo Q for for Android has Rebalance for Categories

One popular time management technique is to assign categories and subcategories to a task.

In Todo Q, categories are represented by letters, such as A, B, C, D, E, F. Subcategories are defined as numbers, 1, 2, 3,..., 10.

When a task is created both category & subcategory can be assigned. The concept is that you ONLY work on each task in its order of importance until completed, or something is blocking the task. Each night you reassign the rankings so that those that become important can move up the list.

Todo Q helps with the reassignment step, we call it rebalancing the list.

Suppose you start with a full Q. Ok, not so full, but enough to demonstrate the technique.

After a busy day, you look at your list and see there are gaps.

So you open the phone menu and choose Rebalance Categories.

Now your list is rebalanced. Rebalance keeps tasks within the same category, while adjusting the subcategory to make them sequential.

Todo Q integrates with the calendar, contacts, gps, navigation, maps on your device and makes it easier to use them together. Todo Q is available for Android 2.0+ devices on the Android Market for only $1.99.

Todo Q for Android Quick Tutorial

I posted a short tutorial on using some of the features of Todo Q.

Plasma Fractal Generator for Droid

Learning about 2d graphics in Android, I decided to convert an old plasma fractal applet to android. It was surprisingly easy. It takes a few seconds to render on my droid.

I've posted the APK and source using google docs new publish anything feature.

A couple of other things I've hacked with lately are a julia set generator and a simple graph demo. Both are written in processing js. The julia set generator is based on another applet, whose link escapes me just now.
