I had a long, personal narrative written, but after hindsight, I’ve decided to omit the majority of it from publication. I do, however, have one testimony to etch into the web:

In the Testimony of John, Jesus tells the adulterous woman “Go, and sin no more.” Jesus made it clear in his teachings that true repentance comes not only from asking forgiveness, but from denying the sin and returning to God.

The New Testament uses the Greek metanoia, meaning “to think differently after,” or in other words, to turn in thought. Modern Christianity understands this to mean a recognition of sin, an understanding of why it’s wrong, then a change of mind that naturally incurs a change in action and conduct. The only way to true repentance is acknowleding your sin, asking forgiveness of God (and any other affected parties), and then turning from that sin, thus to “Go, and sin no more.”

Merely apologizing for wronging someone then continuing to live your life without the proper change is not true repentance. It is a lie and a mockery of God.

And a further breakdown

I moved back to Lynchburg because the stench of sin and lies was too much.

Hi everyone.

(How’s that for libel, my darling? Put up on the Internet for all the world and the duration of history. Eat your heart out.)

“Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.” — Proverbs 30:20

But now I’m using NotifyMe by powerybase. They provide unique iPhone and iPad apps as well a site for viewing your tasks in the browser.

I love Things. I’ve used it since the 0.8.x versions. I’ve bought the OS X and iPhone apps, but I’ve held off on the iPad version. I’ve given CC $60 for their programs.

So why am I ditching Things? Failure to deliver. Jürgen and his team have promised OTA syncing for a year and a half now, and we dedicated users have nothing to show for this promise (oh yeah, except for the cheesy free wallpaper below).

Where Things Shined

Things shined in organizing your to-dos. Projects, Areas of Responsibility were great methods of organizing to help you get things done. The UI is slick. Adding tasks is easy. Everything was easy to follow, and Things could be as robust or simple as I could make it. But with my usage of portable devices expanding, the lack of OTA syncing caused frustration.

No OTA makes keeping unified task management difficult

I used to take my MacBook Pro all over the place. Now it stays at home under my monitor dock. Instead, my iPad is my mobile computer. With me everywhere is my iPhone 4. I tried keeping a unified task list between these devices, but I always forgot to sync them at my desk before heading out, so I’d miss and forget about tasks while not at home. It was a headache.

I tried looking at other apps. The Omnifocus suite of apps costs way too much money to test out. Other iPhone/iPad apps felt insufficient in their organization or they were just plain ugly. I skipped over NotifyMe a couple of times before finally purchasing the iPhone app. Man, I was instantly impressed! Setting up OTA syncing was easy and I quickly bought the iPad Control Center app.

I use Todd Ditchendorf’s Fluid app in OS X to create a web-app out of the NotifyMeCloud.com website for easy access to my tasks on my Mac. With these tools, I’m able to quickly create a task from anywhere, set up reminders, and local/cloud notifications that alert my mobile devices.

I think I’ve found the perfect application for my needs.

But if CulturedCode decide to grace their un-satiated audience with this magical OTA syncing method, I will try it and return if it works. And I might even buy the iPad app.

I wantED to believe.
