Portable this can be made portable (worked for me anyway). Oh and you can still do this even if you already installed it.

Copy the LeaderTask folder (in the Alzema folder in Program Files) to your USB key.

Start the application by clicking on LeaderTask.exe in the LeaderTask folder.

Once the programme has started go to Help -> About and enter the registration info provided by Giveaway Of The Day in the readme.txt file into the registration dialogue box.

Restart application it is now registered.

Try it on a different computer – still registered (application retains registration info in it’s own folder).

Others seem to have said that the application quits on them and I have noticed the same behaviour running from USB key but it seems sporatic.

Enjoy!

I also found it very telling when the thumbs up for a program starts to get higher after the giveaway day especially when the thumbs down were so in the majority during the entire 24 hour period that it was offered.

I was glad to see this GOTD today. I’ve tried MANY task and PIM programs but most just don’t do what I want and often need – the breaking down of a larger task or project into lots of steps or segments. I’ve not had much of a chance to play around with this yet but it seems it will do what I want it to do. This is great as so far, only one program, tasktracker will do it and I’ve been refusing to buy it again – I have it on one computer but use a different one most of the time. I couldnt find reg code, emailed company and they told me to look in my registered program – well its not where I’ve ever been able to find it and I’m stubborn so I’ve not been willing to pay another $30 for a new code. So I’ve just been doing without and trying other programs. Would be great if this works as well as I think it may! So far it installed just fine and looks good!

#117: MyCalls.net will do exactly that. You can program in one time reminder calls, daily calls, repeating calls, etc. Pretty much whatever you want as many times as you want to be called. You can set it to use what they call the “snooze” feature or you can have it keep calling you until you punch in a code. Seems to me its pretty much as you asked for. I just happen to know of it because I have a friend who uses it for everything and I’ve used it a few times myself. It seems to run about $10 to $15 per month for about 80-100 calls for him.

The PIM aspect is really good too. As far as it goes, I like this program.

The problem is that I can’t import my existing tasks or contacts, and I haven’t yet found a great way to send tasks to other people. I was able to export the hierarchy of tasks for one project to an Excel file, which worked out o.k. And it doesn’t sync with anything else.

Verdict: really nice to use for tasks, but landlocked.

My guess is that it shows the reg info from when I installed this the last time it was a Giveaway, although I downloaded and installed today’s hecause I thought this might be updated from last time (and was too lazy to go dig out my info on last one to doublecheck)…a broken wrist is making me lazy and its thanks to Comfort Keys virtual onscreen keyboard that I can type halfway reasonably at all!
