Remember the Milk Desktop App

I am a big fan of Remember the Milk, the online todo list and task manager.  I use the iPhone app to access my lists on the go, but I've wanted a better desktop experience when I am working on the Mac.  Luckily, Christoph Peter (Chrillo)  has created an Adobe Air App called App for the Milk.  I LOVE it.  If you're using RTM to manage your tasks, then go download App for the Milk.

Features:
Manage your remember the milk tasks from your desktop
The first app for rtm with online - offline syncronization
Dynamic dock icon that shows upcoming tasks
Can run minimized in the background on Mac OS X and Win

Demo Video:

iChat: Using Yahoo and MSN

You can use Yahoo and MSN with iChat, but it requires using a XMPP (formerly jabber) gateway.  MacAppStorm has a great write up on how to configure using PSI.  The only additional caveat that I can add is that I ended up using a different gateway than the one suggested in their write-up.  xmpp.ws was down when I was testing this out, so I chose jabber.iitsp.com
