Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server is composed of:

a Server Machine running Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server
Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client (which loads on an HTML5 browser)

Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server is a secure, high-performance HTTP / WebSockets server, which serves the web pages needed to run the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client on the web browser.

When the end-user accesses the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop main page and enters the appropriate connection parameters, the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client communicates with the server, using Ajax and WebSockets (if available) to start the connection to the remote-end.

Once the connection is established, the server will receive RDP commands, optimize them for the web, and send the resulting data stream to the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client.

Manage your Tasks with Toodledo

In this section we will introduce a well featured To-Do List called Toodledo which is recommended by personal productivity website www.mindtools.com in an article on how to use to-do lists.

Task management is important for the simple reason that personal success seems to be the result of knowing what you want to do then directing action towards it. So, without a clear list of prioritised tasks, there can be no directed action.

Actively managed tasks lists also create a certain degree of accountability in ourselves. It very clearly indicates where we have fallen short of in terms of directed action, and is a good (if somewhat pressure-free) wakeup call to get more done.

Toodledo Features covered in this Lesson

Add a single task using Quick Add or by clicking on Add Task button.

Add multiple tasks from a list.

Sorting Tasks into best order to identify tasks to be done next.

e.g Sort by Importance/Folder or Sort by Folder/Due Date

Rollover tasks

These are tasks which are carried over from yesterday to today. There are three methods for dealing with these.

  1. Leave the task as overdue as this is important information to know or remove due date as a due date is only for tasks that are absolutely due on a particular day. If the task does not have a hard due-date then it might be better to omit it and give it high priority so you can make time to complete it.
  2. Use optional repeating as an optional task will automatically get moved to the next occurrence if the due-date passes.
  3. Use the Multi-Edit feature to quickly change the due date on a group of overdue tasks.
  4. View Recently Completed Tasks :-
