If you have ever needed to quickly record having done something (paid an invoice, drove 100 business miles?) then I'm happy to say I might have a solution...
Shortee is a logging syntax for humans that is also parseable by computers.
A quick example might be:
@JeremyNevill drove 100miles 01/dec/2011
This indicates I drove 100 miles on the 1st Dec 2011, and would be an easy way to store business mileage that I later need to claim back from the company.
I send myself Shortee messages and simply store them in my gmail account, ready for querying when I need to answer a question on what I have done... e.g. what mileage did I drive in December?
I'm currently working on a Shortee parser to enable Shortee specific applications, in the mean time however feel free to check out the Shortee specification over at GitHub. I have open sourced the license so I'm hoping others will use the syntax and help out refining it as we go.
