life in textmate

i have now sort of dropped kinkless gtd and am experimenting with the gtdalt bundle for textmate. so far it does the job pretty well, and it plays well with quicksilver's append to file.

what's funny is that everyone i know that blames emacs for having too much functionality (but never stopped adding modules to vim to get the same things) is now running textmate, and i'm sure they'll be using this and a bunch of other handy bundles. hypocrites.

My GTD way

I don't know if there's anything similar on the OSX world, but on the GNU/Linux world, Tomboy (http://beatnik.infogami.com/Tomboy) really does it for me. The wiki like system allows me to keep simplified TODO lists with links for longer descriptions of what i really have to do. From what i've seen on the mailing lists, they have an approach of adding things mainly trough plugins so they don't overburden the really simple default layout it has right now.

I've seen the intro video about kGTD and compared to Tomboy it has so much stuff that (imho) just gets in the way.

My problem with GTD is that i'm lazy as hell and get easily distracted by anything :(

err, textmate doesn't even have a split view, or, or ... i forgot the other things i was missing during my trial period, but there were enough for me to let it expire and never look at the app again. i'm back to jEdit.

It's funny how it can take a little while to get used to Textmate. When I first tried it I let my trial period elapse as well, now I can't work without it. I use Eclipse at work but it just feels slow, weak and flimsy in comparison. There's are very good reason that people are making a fuss about Textmate - it's a deceptively simple looking beast from the outside but there's some real power under the hood.
