Tracks::GTD who's using it?

I came to read this forum to get ideas before starting a Ruby on Rails (a web development system) project to do 43 folders.

I found in nearly the last post I read a reference to Tracks::GTD (http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/).

Being a Ruby on Rails app, you can just install Ruby, then Rails on your computer (Windows, Linux, OSX...) and in a few minutes have Tracks running.

It looks good to me so far.

Who else is using it? any comments or pointers?

I've been using tracks for...

I've been using tracks for a while now, got it hosted on my own server using Apache and MySQL. I have a few issues with it, there seems to be no easy way to keep a someday/maybe list as the item times out and becomes bright yellow.

As for "offline" access, i use the TXT feed to get a basic dump of my items which i can then put in my moleskine. While it doesnt print out the extended details i'm sure it can be hacked to do this :)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
