Is there some brilliant little piece of software out there that will allow one to list various projects one is working on and tasks associated with them? And track progress on each of those tasks? Sort of like a work "diary" (too cheesy), or a dry erase board (too messy, can't ftp it).

Here's why it'd be helpful: sometimes I'm away from a little project for a few days and for the life of me can't remember where I left off and what I have left to do. I'm a decent documenter so I can go to the various programs I've been working on themselves and cue myself, but how much handier it would be to call up the "Virtual Dry Erase Board" and see what's what. Is there such a thing? What's the name for it anyway? Or better yet, where do I look for such a thing?

I've been using a little MS Access database with text fields for comments and each project having it's own table, and I can slavishly make notes in it, but I was hoping for something that would do a little more.

Thanks,

Scot
