At home I’m on my Mac with Notational Velocity and Omnifocus close at hand. However, at work, I use a windows machine with Resophnotes. Resophnotes is a wonderful Simplenote client that is as close as you can get to Notational Velocity on Windows.
On the ipad, I primarily use Simplenote but I also love some of the new text editor apps that are available.
Lucky me! I have a lot of options for taking notes when away from my Mac. However, I have limited options for creating tasks when I’m on Windows. The only real option I have had is to email myself a task and wait for my Mac to process it. That’s fine, but I wanted something even more simple. That’s where Applescript comes in.

I always need to remember to do this on each ghastly new work laptop.

ClipCube is a tiny clipboard history tool under development for Windows: it sits in the system tray, recording copied text for later use.

But then, what and where are A:\ and B:\?
