Hiveminder's just given me 24 things I planned to do today; yesterday I had 3. Clearly I've been putting everything off to the weekend.

Not a bad idea, actually. The big thing I use is the IM interface, and I was going to write a short article on it when they started having a few timezone glitches. They seem to have resolved now, thankfully. For a good talk I should probably show off the command-line interface as well.
Maybe we should make the next PM about services we use .. I'll talk Jaiku (and Net::Jaiku) and you can talk Hiveminder. I'd love to hear how you use it, I've never in my 2 minutes of prodding, found it to be too useful
Given that the next Melb.PM meeting is a few weeks away, I could probably prepare some slides on effectively using hiveminder, or todo services in general.
Want me to chuck a message to the list volunteering our talks?
It's written by Best Practical, in Perl (using Jifty), and I can get the developers on IRC or e-mail relatively quickly if I need help. ;) So far they've been good at taking suggestions and implementing them.
And I've just got an e-mail back from Shawn, who's been doing tons of work on the IM interface, saying he likes my suggestions on how to improve the task review and will be giving up his weekend have them implemented by Monday.
yep. you can type in any command and it ought to just work. it tries to be smart about advancing to the next task, too (so if you add a tag, it'll stay, but if you push it to someone else, it'll move to the next tasks). I'll make sure the doc is clearer :)

I don't. More specifically, when I'm detached from the net I'm usually NOT looking for things to do. I'm travelling, or teaching, or on holidays.

Which is actually a drawback. I'd love for hiveminder to get the cool google-gears goodness like RTM.

@pjf: Sounds good .. go for it

@pjf: Eh, it wasn't too difficult, only three new lines of code. :)

heh. Well sure:
$args{message} =~ s/^\s(\d+)\s$/hide this until $1 days from now/;

Hey, that's really cool! Does that mean that during task review I can use 'this' to refer to the currently reviewed task for other commands?

Awesome, thank-you! All this will end up in my presentation. ;)

@RickMeasham I'm putting together a draft announcement for MPM. Do you have a blurb for your talk I can use?
