basket note pads
As I’m using my new installation of Slackware 12, I keep remembering some little things I want to do, but when I have spare time I can’t remember what they were. So I need a to-do list. /me loves BasKet Note Pads. It was already installed on my laptop, so that’s where I created the list (called a basket); that worked out well, because I wanted to attach the list of aliases I use on the laptop anyway. After I created the basket, I exported it. The source package comes with an installer script, so I used that to install the app on the Slackware box. Importing the basket was quick and easy.
The screenshot shows part of the basket. As you can see by the checkmark, I’ve already taken care of the aliases. Other features visible are the progress meter by “Claws stuff” and the links. It’s nice to be able to associate the links needed for a task together. Links to files can also be attached, as well as application launchers. There are many more features — no brief description can do it justice.
If you think you might want something to help you organize, well, just about anything, IMO you should check out BasKet’s web site and give it a try.
In the time it’s taken me to type this and learn how to put a screenshot in a blog entry, I could have knocked out most of the list. So, bye for now.
ps: I used the installation script included in the download from BasKet’s website, and it has a couple of quirks. It prompts for root password when what it actually needs is whatever password the current user would use with sudo. And for some reason, the script installs it to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin.
