I am looking for a web-application to manage contacts... but I'm not |
2 |
looking for "just an address book"... I guess this isn't especially |
3 |
gentoo, but I'd ideally like to run a server on my gentoo box, so I hope |
4 |
I can be forgiven for asking here. |

Personally, I'm absolutely awful at remembering people's names or |
7 |
dates... I'm not so bad at remembering their jobs; where I met them; |
8 |
their opinions about cuisine or cars etc. etc. The snag I find is that |
9 |
I tend to forget the details that would be most useful to remember - |
10 |
while I remember all the trivia. I forget when I last spoke to |
11 |
occasional acquaintances - and about details that don't mean much to me |
12 |
at the time... for example, about spouses or partners if I meet in a |
13 |
work environment. |
14 |
|
15 |
What I'm looking for is some software to help me to collate details |
16 |
about my occasional contacts... the idea being that if I expect to meet |
17 |
someone I've not met for a while, I've an aide memoir about whom |
18 |
introduced me - and the last time we spoke. |

20 |
Does anyone know of any application to do this? An open-source |
21 |
web-application would be perfect as it would allow me to run a private |
22 |
server - hence eliminating potential security and privacy concerns - |
23 |
while making the information available independent of the kit I have on |
24 |
my desk. Key features would include some sort of standard form to help |
25 |
jog my memory to enter details I might forget - while being flexible |
26 |
enough not to try and pigeon-hole the people I meet. |
27 |
|
28 |
Any suggestions? Any good experiences? I guess I could even pay for an |
29 |
application like this - if it was good... though not a lot, of course, |
30 |
since this would be a personal purchase. |

Ideas? |
