If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
Another way of handling todos

Excellent article and topic. I'm always looking for new ways to experiment with keeping atop my tasks.
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page works well for me. Cross platform was important so I can let windows users update the lists. I use it as a hierarchiel todo manager. Tasks organized by town primarily. someone else might use it tasks sorted by class or customer or however they want.
I put a little crop of mine without any useful information here:

Yeah, Freemind is cool! I sometimes use it to capture longer notes. =) By the way, someone's gotten Freemind to work with Emacs Planner...
Bad QuickStart URL
On August 29th, 2005 Anonymous (not verified) says:
The URL for QuickStart is misspelled, it should be Quick instead of Quck, like this:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerModeQuickStart
You get a page with a header but no content if you use the bad link.
emacswiki.org connection refused

I hope this is a temporary thing, like they took the site down for maintenance. Or perhaps they got lj'd (too popular).
