Just found PocketMod via a post at LifeHacker.
Yay! Works great with RTM.
I've had a 'view' I use for calendar events for ages so used that private RSS feed and added to my PocketMod config using the Custom RSS mod (Atom doesn't work - so change that URL baby!).
Head over to http://www.pocketmod.com and I'm sure you'll get the idea.
By the way, I put an unfinished Simple List on adjacent page to the feed to 'collect' (cheers Mr Allen) any new tasks that pop into my life and gridlines or storyboards on other pages.

says:I'm still amazed that a very old common idea that was used to make 8 page mini-comics has been co-opted and marketed and branded for productivity purposes so much that people have forgotten its origins and think pocketmod came up with the idea. But it does work well for many things besides mini-comics.

How do you modify the private rss feed from atom to rss?
I tried altering just the word atom to rss in the url but pocket mod does not import any of the data.
Thanks.

I had trouble with that too and it kind of just started working.
Remove the Custom RSS 1 by replacing with a blank.
Copy your feed URL into a local text editor, replace the atom with rss and copy from that.
Back in pocketmod, drag over a new Custom RSS and click the Setup button,
Paste the url in.
It didn't work for me straight away either so just keep fiddling! The interface is bit buggy it seems.
You probably get it already but it looks as though your pocketmod is stored as a cookie and next time you create one, you should find your last creation and your RSS will be updated before you print.
Good luck!

You're right on the comics but hey sometimes the oldest ideas are the best.
Maybe one day, someone will re-invent and re-package the paper-clip.
Coming soon to www.attachpapertogetherwithwire.com (site under construction) ;^)

Oops - sorry one more thing...
I peeved that you can have only one custom rss feed in one pockmod.
I'm a bit of a GTD amateur and want my next@home, next@work and next@shops smart list feeds all listed separately.
Oh well, never mind. Perhaps Mr P. Mod might be watching us.

Yes - i got it to work (once) via your method.
Do you know if pocketmod still provide the stand alone version that you can run and modify locally?
It seems to have gone from their website - with a 'coming soon' notice for the new version.
And yes - the one page with rss is a killer for me :^(

I'm as nonplussed as your good self.
It's a real shame. A standalone version would be very handy and perhaps you could tweak it more.
I need to spend some time on the pockmod forum I guess, there's probably something in there, it seems like a thriving community.
Oh well, another task for my next@work smart list.
@johnwin Reply back if you find anything yourself.

yes - I was disappointed also. Wait for the new version of the standalone app - it is far more flexible.

So they're still developing it then?

says:@jfdavies The website says 'coming soon' but I don't know how long it's said that or how soon is soon!
They have always seemed to be on a v_e_r_y s_l_o_w development cycle.

The RTM development cycle must be contagious.
hehe
just kidding, Emily, I'm just teasing. ;-)

says:check out repocketmod.com as it does allow standalone use. Also, and in my opinion more importantly, it remembers the layout between sessions, so when I re-open it, it is just like the one I printed yesterday!
I have one RSS feed coming to it already, but I am going to see if I can make it take multiple feeds from RTM so I can have 1 page for each context. ie: I'm at work? page 2. I'm at home? page 4. Out running errands? page 6. pages 3, 5, and 7 are blank lines for taking notes, new tasks, or whatever. Back cover is my calendar.
The only drawback is that you can not fill in data in the app. In other words the part for your name and everything has to be written with a pen, as it won't fill in from the app.

says:Hmm. No joy. Making three copies of rtm.swf and creating 3 entries in the mods.xml file doesn't do it. Apparently there is something in the swf files that make them all point back to whatever is fetched by rtm.swf since rtm2.swf and rtm3.swf both bring up the same list in rePocketMod when I try to add them.
Does anyone have the tools to open up these swf files and look inside? Possibly modify them so that we can have 3 different lists being pulled from RTM?
I would be thrilled if someone could look into this for me!
Thanks!
