The move from my Sony Clie to my Asus eee PC 900 meant leaving behind some old friends: applications that I had used on a daily basis. Some of them, like the Suduko program, were replaced easily enough. Not all of them were so easy, however.

I waited for a couple of months to see which programs I really missed, if any. It turned out that I missed Daynotez and SplashID. Neither had Linux versions, and neither would install under Wine. I therefore spent some time looking round for alternatives, and found several, some more suitable than others

As part of my ongoing project to move everything into the cloud, I have been looking for powerful and reliable online financial organisers and password protectors.

The OpenID scheme is something that I need to consider incorporating into the mimi specification that will become my MA thesis.
