What kind of productivity tools do you use, if any?
This is something I obsess about. What tools do you use to keep track of things, in projects and so on? Tasks, notes, calendars, anything to help your mind to remember and learn.

It seems to be a copy of "Alt.Fan.Asprin" which is usenet, which came before my time I think. I can only see that page. I can't go to the top domain. It is a whole page full of lovingly organized minutiae about an obscure thing. I didn't post the address out of a peculiar fear of invading someone's peace. It's silly, I know. It reminded me of an internet that
