Chris Parsons The meandering musings of a coder

Update: Looks like this doesn't work in all cases as Kinkless doesn't quite manage to sync completed tasks back from iCal - shame...

Now I've not blogged before about the wonders of Kinkless GTD and the superlative GTD implementation it offers. The wonders of this set of scripts wrung $69.95 from my credit card to purchase OmniOutlinerPro -- heck, it went a long way to convincing me to get a mac...

I'm a big fan of the Plan in kGTD, do in iCal approach Mr Mann advocates on his fine productivity site. To this end, I've discovered a neat counter-hack to the iCal method that's not perhaps as well documented as it could be...

A little while ago, I created SVG Planner, and I thought the best thing to do now this blog is up and running would be to merge it in here from it's current home. If you haven't checked it out yet, feel free to do so! If you want to post a comment, please do so on the SVG Planner page rather than this post.
