Onlife remembers what you were doing
by jcf. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.
This is too cool:
Onlife looks at what you do in several programs (Safari / Firefox, Mail, iChat, iTunes) and stores all kinds of information about the interaction. You can then tag it (or leave it) and search for it.
For example, I’m installing PostgreSQL on my Mac and I found some info on the Apple Developer Connection website about this. If I need this page again, later, I can search for “Postgres” and “I looked at it longer than 2 minutes” and “Safari”
Here’s how that will look:
Nice – and hopefully there will be more programs watched!
I have been longing for such an application almost eternally – this is a dream come true! (and has traces of the Remembrance Agent or Nat’s Dashboard which to my knowing never made it into a finished application)

Hmmm… fink install postgresql actually installs this: postgresql 8.0.3-24
Apple’s note deals with 7.4.1.
7.4.8 is in fink and it is the current version of the 7.4.x series.
The fact that Apple’s developer site doesn’t even have date stamps for their articles… shiver
Information management is soooo easy — if you happen to ignore the outdated parts ;-)
True – but at least the Apple article gave me some hints on how to proceed. I used Darwin Ports to install Postgres and got it working after quite a bit of fiddling (specially with pg_hba.conf … ;-) )
