Assignment Planner, anyone?

I'm interested if anyone has used Assignment Planner as a GTD app?

I've given it a cursory whirl after hearing that the program plays well with GTD. It does okay, but it seems like some hacking is necessary. I contacted the developer, suggesting s/he create a GTD app from the AP code. Developer's not interested in creating and then maintaining yet another application, but is interested to know what modifications s/he can make to AP so it's more GTD-friendly.

For those of you hacking Assignment Planner (or interested in doing so), any suggestions?

I've looked at Assignment Planner...

I've looked at Assignment Planner but found that such a specific app is too much for me when I can put due dates on a calendar and then make each assignment a sub-project within the class's project. For me using an app like this distributes my tasks and thoughts too much and I'm left checking 10 apps/notebooks/calendars when I could be checking 2. As of now those are my hPDA and TextMate's wonderful GTDAlt bundle. I'm beginning to see the benefits of text files' simplicity.

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. »
