My eye first went to the screen cap (which could have the white space at the bottom of it cropped off). Then I read the "Sign up for Atombox for Free" link. At this point I am still wondering what is going on. Finally I find the first sentence "Atombox keeps your GTD...". I suggest the first time you mention it, spell out 'Getting Things Done'. I would also like to see more use examples.

Good luck.


Yes, we're going to change "GTD" to "Getting Things Done" based on several mentions of that very confusion. It'll be a link to the book, too.

Things I keep in Atombox: wine and beers I like, places I'd like to go, the size of my dress shirts, restaurants I want to try in cities different than my own, affirmations and reminders (quotes), the continual grocery list, ideas for gifts for other people, replacement part numbers, ...


I'd like to ask what is everyone using for accounting? Anyone have an elegant solution? Does anyone's web app hook into one of the online accounting apps using the accounting app's API?


We have been using Xero (www.xero.com) and absolutely loving it for several years. They are web based and have an API.

They're getting pretty popular in New Zealand (we're they and we are based) but also gaining traction in Australia and the UK. They have a US version available as well but marketing seems to have been focused outside the US so far.

They're a listed company here in New Zealand so I expect they'll be here for quite some time.


I'd like to give a plug for playing bridge. It is the best card game there is. Texas Hold 'Em : Checkers :: Bridge : Chess.

It can be a sociable game and yet it can also be a game that holds you interest as you try to achieve perfection.

To anyone who wants to get started there is a bit of learning curve. There are good guides online, computer games to help practice with (Bridge Baron is good and is even available for the iPhone), and there are local clubs that would love to see you come out (check out ACBL).

(Boggle and foosball also rock.)
