## Background

I have finally started working on upgrading my very complicated system which combines an online [Pomodoro Timer](http://tomatoi.st/cavt), a Pomodoro Spreadsheet, MediaWiki, Request Tracker, Zimbra Notes, Google Tasks, Zimbra Calendar, and Google Calendar. I am finally combining Google Tasks, Zimbra Tasks and part of the Pomodoro Spreadsheet into SpringPad.

Everyone has heard of [Evernote](www.evernote.com), so I tried it first. The web interface looks great, there is an Android app and an iPhone app. I immediately noticed that there was no way to set reminders. This was a complete show stopper because I have so many time dependent tasks. This immediately set me off looking for their competitors. This brought me to [SpringPad](http://tomatoi.st/cavt)

SpringPad's web interface is a little more complex, especially after using EverNote which requires almost no learning. After a bit of customization to make the default view a list and changing colors, things look great. The customizations can all be done in the bottom left corner of a Notbook in a section called *Notbook Settings*. Reminders can be set and comments can be made on each todo item, so it could almost replace [Request Tracker](http://bestpractical.com/rt/).

There are still some downsides, SpringPad has no way to export data to a standard CSV format, so it cannot completely replace my Request Tracker instance. Other than that, things look good though. I will update this post with comments in the coming weeks. Maybe this will give me enough free time to write hear more often again
