Current Interests

Right now I am working with two great PHP frameworks for two different application: Zend Framework and Orchid. Although I'm a huge fan of CodeIgniter, I'm finding ZF to be robust and really solid for becoming the #1 choice of enterprises very soon.

In addition to them, I am also having a good look on Dojo - as it became Zend Framework's official JavaScript toolkit. I have to agree that there a few gems in it which I like, but I'm yet to discover its full potential. In the meantime, jQuery is helping me a lot.

If you’re like me, you’d want to keep your ever busy life a bit organized. Being a techie, you’d first find a tool that will facilitate you in doing so. Most of us are fan of a number of such tools: RememberTheMilk, BackPack, Ta-Da List, 30boxes, Microsoft OneNote, Stickies etc. I’ve also tried all of them and a few others, stuck with them for a few days, but later lost the interest. This happened until one of colleagues, Anis, suggested me to have a look on Todoist.

At first sight, I thought it as “okay…another web 2.0 brainchild”. It seemed too simple to handle my complicated needs and I did not have high ambition with it. But as days passed, I was discovering new new features of it and gradually it became a part of my life. I’m a big fan of Getting Things Done (GTD) approach and Todoist became my dropbox for all the tasks in my mind.

If you ask me what’s so special about Todoist, I’d mention the following few features:

Simplicity

Todoist is damn simple and hosts one of the most powerful yet sleek web 2.0 interface on the web. It allows you to have an unlimited nested category/project list and under each of them, unlimited nested task list. This is something that most other tools miss. For me, it’s a super MUST feature.
