Here’s an idea.

1. A little system tray program that retrieves contextual information. There could be many different paper boys, or chuck all functionality into one.
2. Used for tracking Real Estate Properties, both Rental and Sales.
3. Used for tracking Blogs, real-time alerts when someone updates their blog.

Notes:

Couldn’t possibly be any good trying to mash together everything. Needs clarity.

The Real Estate one is good. People can use this little satellite app to store and search for the Property types they are looking for.

The app will store all results, in some way.

.. I want to be content.

"There’s an old man sitting next to me, Making love to his tonic and gin."

There’s a boatload of dreams in my head. Visions of what could be. Great and powerful deeds, fame and fortune.

But if I get to an age where I’m pretty much "old", then I’d like Contentment to be one of my defining character traits.

When I no longer have the strength of body to attempt wrestling my kids or grandkids. When my eyes fade and make reading harder than all get-out. When my youthful good looks (ha ha) become masterful lines of wisdom.

More, when I have to face the idea that I won’t be able to achieve the Dreams that are still Dreams ..

.. Then I want to be content.

Here’s an idea.

1. A school could set up the server, and students can log in, submit their work, and actually do research etc.
2. More, they could create timelines, add their own "wikis", put together the tagging system for projects.
3. In building Research for a History assignment, there could be a school-wide tag-cloud-relationship system that can be used. They can add to this, possibly.

Notes:

Needs refinement. The idea. But is a better contextual use of a file management system than just a .. file management system.

The idea is mainly to build up the school’s resources, and allow students easy access to these resources.

Here’s an idea.

It’s based around a Time (and Project) Management understanding.

1. Not your normal management system. The main point of this web server is to get people to actually note down what they have done for the day.
2. It will monitor the times they have logged in.
3. It will send reminders out at set times.
4. For each day, the User logs in and inserts a new record. They give: Start Time, End Time, Projects Worked On (String, autocomplete, maybe del.icio.us type functionality), point form description of work done for the day.

Notes:

Not sure how reliable this would be. The System’s "police-ing" functionality can only go so far.

But it would make people think through what they have done. And management can get all the good stats, be able to see people’s frequency, _when_ they are entering their times.
