I was perusing Slacker Manager the other day when I came across their “Best Of” section. There are many interesting posts featured there, but one caught my eye. It is called “Append to text file v.4” Using the free program AutoHotkey as a base, this post gives you a script that allows you to append text to a text file with a timestamp. This could have many uses: research, a worklog, etc., but I chose to use it for a to-do list. Keyboard shortcuts allow you to easily append text, dump the clipboard into the file or call up the file itself. With some simple editing of the script file, you can set the path of the text file to be anywhere on your computer. I will try this out for a few weeks , but at the moment it seems like a much simpler alternative to the previously-discussed Cygwin method of Todo.txt.
