Anyone have a web based tickler file?
eggman2001 | Apr 21 2006
I currently have my tickler file on my desktop as just text files in a folder. However, does anyone know of any web services that would allow you to implement this on the web? I just sort of want what might look like a daily to-do list. However, all the to-do list programs I've seen don't have a day-to-day function. Thanks 10 Comments

 How about using a cronjob?Submitted by TedPavlic on April 21, 2006 - 11:26am.
A while ago Hawk Wings posted the cronjob I use to implement an IMAP tickler on my IMAP server. (this way the tickler shows up on every IMAP client I have without me having to re-implement it in every IMAP client) http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/01/23/run-an-imap-tickler-file-via-cron-script/ FOR EXAMPLE (it's imperfect, but it's only meant to be an example), you could modify that idea so that it rotates text files into an "inbox" that is viewable on the web. You could drop (text or html) messages into the appropriate numbered bin (via FTP, for example, or WebDAV or anything else). Then you just go to the inbox every day. If indexes are turned on, you'll see every file in the directory. The basic idea is that if you could come up with a web-based way to view things (perhaps PHP iCalendar viewing an ICS file with a ToDo list), you could use cron to automatically push new items into the "today" view every night. » POSTED IN:
