( Dinner John thursday ) ( remember milk )
If you could build an interface that was really really quick where basically you did a command key combination then it would send up a message box where you could type
dinner John Thursday
The system would be smart enough to guess who John was ( from your contacts [and your facebook links] ) or it would produce a list of best guesses. It would vaguely know when dinner was and then produce a dialog box ( which might prompt for more info).
I guess like Google it would have a good guess for miss typed commands (dinjer with jon - did you mean dinner with john Grady today at 6:00 ? ).
The idea would be to collect a number of things in the same interface.
Remind Ruth about milk
sets up an email with a template
Hi Ruth, I thought I would just take this opportunity to remind you about milk.
Thanks ... )
where as
Remind me milk
might set up an alarm
Tell Ruth late
Sets up and email to ruth saying I am late.
Phone ruth
The idea is to keep lots of stuff which might cause you to switch contexts. I've looked at quicksilver on the mac but its more of a better finder than anything.
The whole thing would have to be fast enough to stop you context switching with an interruption.
