1. laptop whiteboard

a whiteboard attached to your laptop.

you require only melamine, or some similar material, and velcro dots. pictured is some transparency paper stuck on a piece of corregated plastic. i've found the melamine purchased from a shop tends to not clean as nicely as the whiteboards you find at universities; i'm not sure why. recommend using these with the thin-tipped whiteboard markers.

1. australian budget tracker

somehow find out how the tax money is spent in australia, and do some sort of modelling on it.

basically exists, but probably needs a bit more work:

• http://infoaus.net/budget/budget_home.php

1. what-now

looks at your timetable, and tells you what you should be doing now. will need to configure a timetable in some trivial json format.

basically exists:

• http://taskwarrior.org

(that is, I now use taskwarrior for this purpose.)

1. this file upsets me

you can upload the sha256 hash of a file, and then the system counts that file as upsetting n+1 people. list the topmost upsetting file hashes. never reveal the actual file contents.

might change this to be 'how i feel about this file', and you can love it, or have it upset you.

done:

• http://this-file-me.meteor.com

1. git console dashboard

at a glance i'd like to see the status of all my repos; the outgoing/incoming changes from various upstream sources, etc; then i could issue system-wide updates and so on.

there appear to be a few things like this, but are gui-based.

done:

• Some tools for working with Github upstream repos
