Web-based task manager Remember the Milk is one of our Lifehacker readers’ favourites, and for good reason. The web-centered service has expanded since its inception in 2005 to work with tons of platforms, apps, and interfaces, yet it’s remained focused on doing what it does best—telling you what needs to happen next, no matter where you are. We wanted to learn more about how Remember the Milk was born, gets upgraded, and where it wants to go in the future, so we traded a few emails with Emily Boyd, one of the webapp’s co-founders, who is based in Sydney. Read on to hear Boyd’s answers to our burning questions about RTM. Thanks to Jason F. for the photo illustration!
Windows only: There aren’t many computer games that support dual monitors; the vast majority simply fail to acknowledge there might be two, three, or more monitors attached to a computer. In the best case scenario the cursor can leave the primary screen and you simply have to scoot it back into the main screen. In the worst case scenario games will crash or exit play suddenly when the cursor ends up outside the window of play. MouseJail is a tiny (3k!) application that will effectively jail your mouse cursor to the primary screen while the game is in session, ensuring you won’t have to hunt for it on other unused screens or risk crashing your game. MouseJail is a free download for Windows only. Photo by annia316. MouseJail [DrHoiby]
Windows only: If you’re on a locked-down XP system without the “Run” command available, the Run Dialog Replacement is there to comfort you.

Run Dialog Replacement runs from basic VB scripts, so installing it shouldn’t be too tough in even walled-off systems. Run Dialog Replacement is a free download for Windows systems only.
