If you've got a file called todo.txt on your computer right now, you're in the right place. Countless software applications and web sites can manage your to-do list with all sorts of bells and whistles. But if you don't want to depend on someone else's data format or someone else's server, a plain text file is the way to go.
hooch
Problem is, you don't want to launch a full-blown text editor every time you need to add an item to your to-do list, or mark one that's already there as complete. With a simple but powerful shell script called todo.sh, you can interact with todo.txt at the command line for quick and easy, Unix-y access.

The idea behind iTrail is that you should be able to use your phone to track your performance whilst you are out doing physical things, running, cycling, hiking or skiing. Using iTrail you can record the trail you follow, and then plot it on a map. You can record how fast, how far and how high you went and then plot them on a graph.

"A disk head seek is about 9ms, and the human perceptual threshold for what seems "instant" is around 50ms. So if you have just one head seek per user request, you can support at most 5 hits/second on that server before users start to notice latency. If you have a typical filesystem with a little database on top, you may be up to 3+ seeks per hit already."
