It's been released, for those who are interested in a top quality & unobstrusive Task Manager.

wow looks pretty nifty, nice work

nooon · Nov 11, 2004, 04:55 AM

wow! very slick.

C.J. Moof · Nov 11, 2004, 11:22 AM

Looks nice, but I'm still looking for a to-do manager that has an idea of mine: I typically forget to look at my to-do list, so things tend not to get done. If the list could come to me from time to time, it would be useful.

How does the list come to me? I'm thinking about the way that Synergy can bring up a transparent dialog regarding the iTunes song that just came up, leave it there for a pre-defined time, then fade it out.

If every once in a while, the specific items that I have enabled as "actively remind me" at "this frequency" would just float up, be seen, and go away. Like Synergy alerts, one could click through them, with the addition of a "close now" GUI element.

Anyway... this just seemed like an opportunity to toss out that concept. I don't expect to gain the skills to develop it anytime soon, so if someone wants to run with it, more power to 'em. In the meantime, I'll be checking out what Burnout Menu 2 offers.

Seems a pretty swish little to-do manager, but C.J. Moof has a pretty good point. Maybe Burnout 3?

nooon · Nov 11, 2004, 12:42 PM

I already have Burnout 3 on my Xbox if you're interested.

threestain · Nov 11, 2004, 12:46 PM

Yes please.

In a thread hijack note, which is better PS2 or Xbox - housemate is buying one. I have the king (Gamecube) so I don't care really

nooon · Nov 12, 2004, 06:34 AM

Definitely the Xbox-version. The graphics are crisper and it feels more hi-res than PS2.

threestain · Dec 15, 2005, 04:56 PM

Burnout Menu and Cliche Software appear to have disappeared off the face of the earth - hope this are ok in the BM world... anyone got ideas?

gnomexp · Dec 15, 2005, 05:07 PM

Realize that they are both a year old... are they anywhere on Google?

threestain · Dec 16, 2005, 02:13 AM

yeah, the first result comes back to www.clichesw.com, but this has had its account suspended, so I dunno quite what's happening!

Artanis · Dec 16, 2005, 11:50 AM

Guys, it seems that on both links on this thread the accounts are suspended.

threestain · 07:15 AM

yep, that's what I was saying - maybe ambush has more to say about the matter?

but of course he's banned so probably not!

threestain · Jan 27, 2006, 04:14 AM

he's back but doens't care no more I reckon.

No worries, high priority is basically exactly the same, but better...

High Priority interacts with iCal though? what if you don't want that interaction?

threestain · Jan 30, 2006, 02:26 AM

if you don't want that interaction then use check off - which is free (see vt, am too lazy)

badtz · Jan 30, 2006, 04:52 AM

already use check off [started using it again since BM has been kinda MIA] .... but not too keen on the Check Off interface anymore; it used to be great under the previous developer.

... I like the High Priority interface, and I'm trying to figure out a way to use this program and not have it interfere too much with my items in iCal ....

threestain · Jan 30, 2006, 09:37 AM

there are loads of others - menucalendar clock (free if you don't use the ical integration) is a good example - try searching in the forum for that, should come up with lots of options. Personally I like the integration, but am loath to give up on something I paid for (just about the time cliche software imploded - thanks for the lack of feedback ambush!).

badtz · Jan 31, 2006, 01:31 AM

menucalendarclock doesn't allow you to "add" notes, it only taps into iCal.
