Tinjaw’s program, HowLong2It, is based on an idea that I posted in the DonationCoder.com coding snacks forum. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I deserve praise–Tinjaw is the person who rocked it out.

Anyway, I didn’t think that making a text file with notepad was efficient to keep track of important events, and I didn’t like marking events on Outlook. I think you’re more likely to pay attention to the last time you changed your toothbrush if you can see some hard scientific data on how many days it has been. I know you’re not motivated by the fact that your toothbrush’s head is starting to resemble Don King or Afro Ninja’s dome. You need numbers.

With HowLong2It, you can keep track of the last time you:

• got laid
• took a shower
• ate a McRib sandwich (it’s seasonal)
• saw Labyrinth
• read “Reader’s Digest.”
• listened to “MMMBOP”
• played River City Ransom
• changed your oil
• got a double kill in Halo 3 (it’s been a while for ol’ Spanks here)

You can set up HowLong2It so that it starts up with Windows, and it will run in the tray next to your clock. Left click on its icon to see how many days since or until the occurrence of an event.

Right click on the icon to restore the add/edit/delete menu.

This is an awesome program. The more you use it, the more you will like it.
