Something I’ve been meaning to blog about for a long time… and speaking of Natural Language.
For many years one of the more powerful and well implemented natural language parsers has been living in the Date/Time control in Outlook.
And Outlook will translate this to 2/28/06. Now you can try all sorts of things like:
- next week
- friday
- next friday
- end of the week
- end of the month
- tomorrow
- 2 weeks
and so on. I bet you didn’t know about this 
. When you create a lot of tasks (like I do) this is a very fast way of typing what you want, hitting tab, and usually getting the expected results.
