Similar to WinPooch, Trust No EXE, and InCTRL 4 (but altogether new and different) VerifyMyPC will monitor your PC for changes and log them. Set it to run every day and it will let you know what files changed and on what day, allowing you to track down the source of problems once they occur. Shareware, $15.

Tasks Jr. is a lightweight, freeware online to-do list. It’s written in PHP and uses a MySQL database. It even has a PDA accessible mode & calendar (though, I just use Google Calendar). Tasks, Tasks Pro and Use Tasks are the various pay versions.
I’ve searched long & hard for a good computer-based to-do list that’s portable, easy to use & not in some weird proprietary format that’ll become inaccessible if I switch computers (I.e. Outlook & Thunderbird’s formats). I always thought it would be something that sat in the system tray & let me save to a file that I could back up along with all my other important files, but it turns out a web-based to-do list did the trick.
