Hah. That's because you said Planner was too large to be considered a
simple TODO manager. Sniff, sniff. ;) Don't worry. No hard feelings!
<laugh>

Planner's complexity is like Emacs' complexity. Outsiders say, "Emacs
is way too complex to be considered a simple editor!" We bonk them on
the head, show them the menu bars and the tutorial, and teach them how
to use Emacs as a straight text editor if they really want one. (Or as
a flashcard program, or as a tetris game, or whatever simple thing
they want to get started with.) But Emacs' complexity and
wonderfulness lies in its awesome flexibility. It can be nearly
anything for anyone. =)

You can use planner and remember to journal. =) You can publish your
tasks and notes on the same page. planner-rss can publish your notes
as RSS, too. My blog at http://sacha.free.net.ph is done in Planner.
