Mind Traffic Control

Hi everyone,

I wrote a new, online task-management tool : mindtrafficcontrol.appspot.com/

It's what I call a "to-do queue" instead of a to-do list ... effectively you just throw your next actions into it and it presents just *one* to you - giving you the option GTD-style of saying "done" it or to "defer" it until later or "delegate" it to another user. (So it's a kind of light-weight workflow tool too)

This is definitely working for me. Very easy to throw any tasks into it (from work requirements to links I need to get round to reading) and then deal with them when I get time. No more getting side-tracked messing around with lists.

Now I'm looking for people (especially smart, disorganized ones) to try it out and give some feedback.

Cheers

phil

    Phil this is probably a dumb question. Once when I signed in to MTC I was able to set up tasks etc. But everytime since I've tried to go there this is what I get:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 499, in __call__
    handler.get(*groups)
    File "/base/data/home/apps/mindtrafficcontrol/1.58/mtc.py", line 176, in get
    self.main(buffer,filter)
    File "/base/data/home/apps/mindtrafficcontrol/1.58/mtc.py", line 159, in main
    buffer(div( self.next(user,filter)))
    File "/base/data/home/apps/mindtrafficcontrol/1.58/mtc.py", line 92, in next
    inner(div(self.filters(filter,user.email()),'','float:right;font-size:small;'))
    File "/base/data/home/apps/mindtrafficcontrol/1.58/mtc.py", line 61, in filters
    tags = self.getTagsByUser(user)
    File "/base/data/home/apps/mindtrafficcontrol/1.58/mtc.py", line 52, in getTagsByUser
    if x.newtags.find(',') > 0 :
    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find'

    What am I doing wrong?

      Ouch! That's not good is it?

      Is it still happening? (As of 4th June?)

      I'd guess if you were an early user then perhaps you had a very old, out-of-date-formatted task which has broken the system. I thought I'd cleaned those up ... I'll look into it.
