Do join the mailing list there to get notified of new releases and other todo.txt-related programs. Advertisement One month ago I proposed a nutty little system for keeping track of tasks: in a file called todo.txt. Later I published a set of scripts to manage todo.txt and asked for feedback. Much to my delight, an army of plain text-lovin' lifehackers out there use todo.txt to keep themselves organized, and many of you sent in suggestions and improvements to my scripts in the comments and via email. I admitted from the get-go that my first attempt was half-baked and had more holes than Swiss cheese. Well, with all your generous help, dear readers, the Lifehacker todo manager has grown up to be super-strength and featureful. I've compiled all the best reader-contributed updates and additions into one … [Read more...] about Geek to Live: Reader-written todo.txt manager

Ed Sheeran's manager told a court today how the singer clamped down on ticket touts after seeing £75 seats at his charity gig reselling for 'obscene' prices of £7,000.  Stuart Camp was giving evidence as a prosecution witness in the trial of Peter Hunter and David Smith - who traded as Ticket Wiz and BZZ.  They allegedly sold millions of pounds of tickets for top events harvested from official sellers using computer bots and fake identities.  The pair deny fraudulent trading relating to tickets to see top acts like Sheeran, big sporting events, the Chelsea Flower Show and West End shows like Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.  Mr Camp decided to try and stamp out the resale of Sheeran's concert tickets after they were resold for his March 2017 Royal Albert Hall gig in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. He said Sheeran performed at the event for nothing and the tickets were £75 plus a booking fee, but he saw some going for £7,000 on the secondary … [Read more...] about Ed Sheeran’s manager Stuart Camp tells ticket tout trial that he took a stand against ‘absurd’ resale prices after spotting £75 charity gig seats on sale on Viagogo for £7,000

 Boys aged twelve and thirteen should be given “anger management” lessons at school to help curb knife crime, a report has said. A study into how violence affects young people, commissioned by Greater Manchester Police, found that peer pressure and a culture of “toxic masculinity” increase the likelihood of teenage boys getting involved in crime.   The research, conducted by The Innovation Unit, was commissioned by Greater Manchester's council and police chiefs as part of their Serious Violence Action Plan. It said that students in Year Eight should have single sex PSHE lessons where boys are taught how to manage aggression, understand peer pressures and “develop identities and aspirations which do not rely on violence or exploitation”.   “We heard that many boys and young men in Greater Manchester are being told more than ever before that retaliation is a strength and emotions other than aggression are feminine,” the … [Read more...] about Boys aged twelve should be given ‘anger management’ lessons at school to curb knife crime, report says
