Since you mentioned this to me a couple weeks ago, I've been using it every day. I keep various snippets of lyrics I come up with throughout the day, notes to myself, review/article fragments, and even one called "Ping ideas." Great find.

I actually keep a private Yahoo Club with one member--me. That way I can keep ongoing notes, important stuff in the member message, pics, etc. I couldn't live without it.

So what's the name of your club, Cat, and can we join?

er, wait.

In seriousness, that's quite a good idea.

Cat--You've inspired me to start my own fan club at Yahoo. Of course, I will invite legions to join but it will end up my own club. :)

I had a friend with a temporary club called "Help Dave Find a Girlfriend"

It worked, more or less.

Yahoo Clubs has turned out to be one of the most versatile tools--I founded one of the first clubs (on the first day Clubs was available) for Portland, and it's still thriving with 600+ members. On the other hand, I have a club with just me and three other chicks that we use for gossip. Then there's the secret club of gamers that I can't tell you about...

Can you tell I love this stuff? They're planning on integrating Yahoo Groups (used to be eGroups) more closely with Clubs. I can't wait to see what cool features they come up with.

I did the private club thing as well before Paul mentioned the Notepad thing... both have their uses. I was always worried someone would join my club without me knowing. :)

I like a PDA for this purpose, so I have an electronic notepad even for the 15 minutes per day that I am not sitting in front of a computer. It is particularly useful for updating my 'songs to download from Napster' file while listening to the radio in the car. Plus I don't have to put my data out in clear text across the network. :-)

The best solution would just be to SSH into your home computer from work.

Because everyone has an SSH tunnel set-up from work to home! ;)

Screw SSH at work, I just want windows to look out of!

You can have my window, Paul. Unfortunately, every morning there is this large, blinding, bright, white ball of light in the sky, which puts an pretty heavy damper on my productivity. I've been wishing they would take that thing away.

As a followup to the original Ping, you can add the Yahoo! Notepad to a My Yahoo start page - and even pop in new notes right on the start page. Nice.

Sounds like you were ready to write an article, but got no further than the title.

How sad it is to revisit this thread and see what I said earlier about the integration of Clubs and Groups in retrospect.

Stupid Yahoo ruining everything.

I quit using Yahoo Notes - too slow to get into and out of. Now I have a notes.txt file that I always have open and I keep my todo list, list of books to read, cds to buy, random thoughts etc there. I have a macro written for my mail client that automatically emails the file to home / work when I shut the mail client, so I always have the up to date copy of the file near me. I need to start carrying an index card and pen for those rare times I'm not in front of a computer. I have completely gotten away from carrying a Palm Pilot everywhere I go. PDA's are so 2000 you know ;)

I still use it, but not too frequently. One thing that annoys me: how it changes all double-quotes to single-quotes.

I still use notes for a few things. I've been experimenting with using a wiki, but what I use most of the time is Stickies from btinternet.com. Of course that doesn't help me between work and home, though.
