Kon-Tuit was born out of the need to not only manage multilple projects, but keep from forgetting projects that I was working on, and / or the details of the state of the project when I put it down for several months, and then had to go back to it, usually in double-quick time.

The design philosopy is that I needed to have it simple, durable, and dependable. Since I'd read the book Kon-Tiki about Thor Heyerdahl's balsa raft, the idea of a simple balsa raft of a train of thought preserver took hold. It would hold the state of the project so I could get back to it quickly and keep track of the ones I kept forgetting to get back to!!

basically, my train of thought jumps the track when i shift projects.. I used to be able to keep it all in my head, but no longer due to age and number and complexity of projects, and also multiple os's to put them all on.

My only whine about this project is that I'd wanted it to be open source in Perl, but due to need for it, it's in MSaccess for now.

so, this is intended to do:

1. keep the details of what i'm thinking so i don't forget, time stamnping it all.
2. cover my butt keeping the changes in priority and deadlines...
3. A report in the near future will evaluate the priorities, deadlines, and elapsed time since I'd clocked in on the last action done on a project, and rank them in order of priority that day.. NOTE Report is in release 1.0!!!

Distributions: Kon-Tuit distribution 00.3 7-April 2005., Kon-Tuit distribution 01.0 12-May 2005., a zipped MSAccess 2000 database

I refuse to use MS Word when this can do all the formatting, indexing, and the table of contents at one go. Any suggestions, please feel free to email me. I'm on the VCU LDAP directory.
