I often feel a weird sense of guilt when I use a fraction of a “tool’s” functions. I just pared down from my old fav Photoshop Pro to Photoshop Elements. It’s just right for my needs now. Great tips on products I didn’t know about. Thanks!

Malevole is wonderful! and the YouSendIt.com tip is great. Thank you. You’re saving me time and wasted thought processes.

Sorry about that… anyway, thanks for checking out http://www.meetomatic.com

Different ‘gestalt’ and approach from the wonderful Doodle, but has an amazing fine-grained scheduling visualizer in its private label version. I have little time to spend doing fun stuff. The free one is insanely simple, and suits some people better than Doodle because of its calendar layout!

Our idea at that time was to take doodle and make it better. In the meantime doodle is commercialized and made a lot of progress. What makes us proud is that doodle copied already several features from our page themselves.

Cheers Tom

Oh yeah – I made it :-) Hope you find it useful. My goal was to keep it as simple as possible, which I think I’ve achieved.

But you didn’t mention one of the best features: historic conversion rates. That way I can calculate the exchange on the date of a specific transaction.

From emails to the organization of files on your computer, Mark deals with it all with his well thought out methods. I guess his MIT education wasn’t for nothing.
