An issue i've been having
Jimi Heffernan | Oct 13 2007
Heres my problem. Let's say i've made a list of things i need to talk to bob about. So i have a list of tasks in my @Bob context. I go to school, and, until recently, i wouldn't have even had that list when i bumped unexpectedly into him, but now i have decided to put those in my iPod Touch, which i always have, and is, unlike a notecard, reuseable. Now heres the issue. How do i rememember how to whip out the touch, flick over to @bob and go "I need to ask you about a horse." or whatever the task is? quite a conundrum for me. any ideas? 4 Comments

 Another Possible SolutionSubmitted by Autarchist on October 17, 2007 - 5:33pm.
I have similar situation with my work tasks and needing to keep informed with people who aren't always right there or available when I have the question. Here's another possible easy fix: We are all linked together as teams on Mentat now and if I have a question I just assign a task to that person so they see it too. Of course, this requires that you both use Mentat and have iPhones or BlackBerrys to snap out and check on that chance meeting or convenient time. Alternatively, you could make a project called "@Bob" for context (using a free personal account even) and set it up to have your questions in there as Tasks, or eventually even have a custom @Bob/questions subcategory. I would put it under "Bug" (meaning I need to bug them about it in this case)in a project for that person if I were to do it myself right this second. ;) You would still need an iPhone or soon a BlackBerry will work (and later even a cell phone) but if that might work for you, feel free to try it out here: » POSTED IN:
