Emacs/shell (here, zsh) interface to a TODO
buffer. Very useful and fast. (`todo-show-file'
ought to be bound to a key, e.g. I have it
`C-j t'.)

In the shell it is just

    $ todo sleep more, take less amphetamine

(Note the lack of apostrophes/quotes!) The next
time you do `C-j t' (or whatever you have it)
it'll be there - sorted, and saved.

Same if you do

    M-x todo RET fix all the bugs in todo-did.el RET

Ain't it cool stuff? :) Please comment!
The last couple of days I have posted tons of
code (of various degrees of advancedness, this
is probably the most advanced) - the last
couple of days I have posted tons of code and
not received a single comment :(
Very disappointing is my honest sensation.

PS. Check the date if you use the URL!
Might get a cached version otherwise. DS.

Aaanyway...
