Hey, if you don't want to help out then don't help out. That's perfectly fine with me. But if you have no interest in naming this project, why not just close the thread and move on, instead of downvoting it?

...I'm in the planning stages for a cloud-based PIM+GTD application, and I can't for the life of me come up with a name for the darned thing. Any ideas?

Big Desk. I like that. It's best to have a working name and let the marketing people work on the real name later anyway. I've seen a zillion of these. I've been searching for a good one of these since about 1998. Most of them can't beat a simple spreadsheet or a notebook. That's the standard I start with on them. I need it to integrate with project management as well. Getting these things to turn into money is like oil shale. You know the potential is there but you just can't tap it. Somebody posted a free device on Code Project a while back that came pretty close. Here it is. ToDoList 5.8.8 - A simple but effective way to keep on top of your tasks[^]

What and miss an opportunity to be sarcastic and irritating, don't be silly. Now that we seem to have driven all the idiots who post code in the Lounge out there is a fairly high level of frustrated sarcasm floating around. Seem like you got a dollop of it. You post, you take the consequences, most some have been sensible.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

True, true... but I certainly could have done without the downvote :laugh:

I like it too! If only "Big Desk in the Clouds" wasn't terribly long.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea for the time being. Of course, this means I'm going to need to find some marketing people in the near future...

Yeah, but you've got to try, right? :)

I'd go for "Crap" and save everyone the trouble of using it as a derogatory term.

Hi Adam, I apologize for my mean-spirited response; I am removing my first response, and voting your message #5, while at the same time flagellatng myself with a certain Thai stinging nettle that causes ugly red welts. There's no excuse for the "mean streak" I got into today. I am ashamed. I ask you to forgive me. best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Don't break a sweat on getting those people. Your real problem is testers. If you can get it to talk to exchange servers you might have something people will pay money for. You will have email support, yes? If you are in the cloud you can't have a PIM without email.
