Smelly. Puppy.

Grab the latest HERE! The new version really is starting to get close to a 1.0, as I’ve added:

• Live preview – no more hoping this widget understands you when you hit submit, now you’ll see what it’s seeing in real-time
• MANY bug fixes
• Widget will check for new versions every 48 hours

Just posted a new version, which contains “Smart Reminders”.

Smart Reminders will create alarms/reminders in iCal for any events you create. Many calendars do this. But what Smart Reminders does is create different types of reminders based on how far out the event was when you created it.

By default, all events will have a reminder set to 15 minutes away. Events created more than a week in advance will notify you the day before, as well. And if you create something more than a month away, a reminder will be created two weeks before the event. (So, one distant event = 3 reminders)

The intervals are fully configurable. You can turn this off, too. Just flip the widget over and explore.

Thanks to Pat Niemeyer for the concept… Keep the suggestions coming! And download the new version!

Just posted a new version, which contains task/todo creation.

• Tasks without due dates: start or end the text with “todo” (“todo – walk the dog”, “todo – renew domains”)
• Tasks with a due date: no need to use “todo”, just end your text with “due”, “due on”, “before”, “by” – with a date. (“file taxes before 4/15″, “electric bill due next tuesday”)
• You can assign importance to tasks by throwing bangs/exclamation marks after your text. The more you add, the more important it is. (“todo – sorta important!”, “todo – REALLY IMPORTANT!!!”)
