I have tried, and tried and....tried webapps, primarily because I bounce back and forth between my desktop and netbook (and sometimes my Blackberry.) I have yet to find one that a) is readily available and b) is easy to use. I almost always have a terminal (or 4) open so just dropping things right into the program with one very easy line has made all the difference. I'm finally getting things synced up using Ubuntu One (I bet dropbox could do the same) and I just make notes in my phone and transfer them when I get home.

Yeah that remindme script just makes things easier all around, I can stop obsessing about all the other things and just focus on what I'm doing.
