Nozbe ups the project limits -- and prices
Good and bad news about Nozbe.

Here’s an update to the article I wrote yesterday about online “Getting Things Done” (GTD) application Nozbe.
Good news first: In honor of Valentine’s day, they introduced two paid plans, that are to be free until mid march. You can get 30 or 100 projects, along with some other perks (custom contexts, file storage, email support, no ads and also SSL security for the more expensive plan.
And then the bad news: Talk about expensive! There’s absolutely no way I’m going to pay $12.25 a month for any online service. That gets me more than half a year of flickr’s pro service, with unlimited everything. I might consider paying $4.95 a month, but even that is a bit much, especially when there’s a limit of 30 projects, which I have a high risk of hitting.
What is 'GTD'?
GTD stands for "Getting Things Done", and is a "work-life management system" and a book by David Allen.

Tracks is a free GTD web app written in Ruby on Rails.
Back on Tracks?
It’s been a while since I’ve used Tracks — for a few good reasons: It didn’t work very well (at the time), and it was way too much hassle to upgrade (lots of detailed instructions). To me it’s kind of obvious that an application like that should be easy as pie to upgrade — that it could be done with a few simple clicks in the browser, for example. You shouldn’t be shaving yaks when you should be Getting Things Done.
But it’s now so long ago since the last time I’ve used it that I’m ready to give it another try and not care if I lose all my data in the process.
I guess my article on installing Tracks on Textdrive could use some help catching up with time, too.
Heaven knows unlimited projects for free is a lot better than 30 projects for $4.95/mo.
