The first one is an expansion on the existing TenPlusTwo widget: I've added a whole bunch of options, such as configurable popups, sounds and programs. I tried getting in touch with the original author so I could submit the code back as an enhancement, but he has no email address! So this will have to do.

The user preferences look like this:

The second one is a heavy reworking of the Yahoo Notepad, into a pure GTD inbasket. This thing just takes in text that you type in, then runs a script against it.

It looks like this:

The precise nature of the script is configurable in the preferences, so you can run a Perl, Python or Ruby script against it.
In this case, my script executes the following command

"c:/usr/perl/bin/perl.exe d:\home\wsargent\work\eccoapi\scripts\command.pl 'this is a test'"

In this case, the inbasket dumps into Ecco Pro, the only application that reduces me to zealotry. But you can write your own scripts to write out to a text file, a web application, or wherever.

You can download both widgets here: Inbasket and TenPlusTwo.

Total time spent: two hours, plus the time spent to write this. Widgets rock.
