I am a SEO Consultant and a PHP programmer ( developer ) from Thailand with over four years of professional SEO and PHP programming experience.
I never expected that task management using vim will be used by others. It is a duct-tape approach that really worked well for me. My intention of putting up that post was to show usefulness of GTD and the extensibility of vim. I got some more queries about the task management system, so this is […]

I relived an intense past discussion while reading Uche Ogbuji’s nice introduction to XML elements and attributes design.
