What to do after you reflash your iPhone

Apple does a good job of keeping backups of your iPhone data, but they don't backup everything.  Here's a list of stuff you have to fix after you reflash your iPhone:

• Passcode Lock: Settings - General - Auto-Lock, Passcode Lock
• E-mail: If you leave mail on the server, your iPhone will forget which e-mails you have already read, so you'll have to read or delete them.  A couple of tricks:
• Reduce the number of messages displayed in your inbox - Settings - Mail... - Show
  
• In Mail, hit "Edit", then select a bunch of messages and delete them all at once
  

I'll keep adding to this list as I remember stuff.

Tonchidot - Amazing iPhone app

Seriously, Tonchidot is so amazing I can't believe it isn't a hoax.  

I can't figure out how they figure out orientation of the device - GPS can tell you where it is, but how does it know where it is pointing?  Image recognition?

GTD

I'm trying to get serious about planning using Getting Things Done (GTD).  I've tried Remember The Milk and Nozbe, both web-based apps.  I like them fairly well, but each has some limitation that drives me crazy.  So today I downloaded "Things" from Cultured Code.

Things is free (while in Beta) on the Mac, and $10 on the iPhone.  The two can be sync'd via wifi.  I haven't tried the iPhone version, but I really like the Mac version.  The UI just makes sense, and I like the way tags work.  We'll see how it does over time...

OK, that's enough time.  I REALLY like it.  Time to buy the iPhone version...

Easily installed, easily sync'd.  I like the way the sync works - very bluetooth-pairing-like.

For some reason the iPhone app is missing the "Areas" tab - maybe it isn't implemented yet.. yup... patience, patience...

Update 2008.09.23: Lovin' Things.  Again - UI "just makes sense".
