Try Halfnote (requires Firefox 2 or IE 5+)
Ack! I wasn't planning on releasing this until after Firefox 2.0 shipped. But since I've been discovered, here goes nothing...

I've always been a todo.txt person. But recently, I've also tended to use many different computers and operating systems. So a simple local text file doesn't work well for me anymore. I tried using wikis, and thought they seemed cool at first. But they ended up being too slow to be very useful.
Halfnote is a simple, fast, and secure notepad that I have been wanting for my own personal use. You can use it too.
Features:
Client-side encryption. Your notes are strongly encrypted with your account password before they leave your browser. Even if I totally screw up someday and pull an AOL, your data will remain pretty safe.
Auto-save. Save buttons are lame. Halfnote saves your notes automatically whenever you stop typing.
Synchronization. You can have Halfnote open on multiple computers and they will stay in sync with each other. You don't have to worry about accidentally overwriting notes you entered on another computer.
Requirements:
Firefox 2.0 or Windows IE5+. Your encryption key is never sent to my server. Instead, Halfnote stores it locally on your machine using fancy-schmancy client-side persistence which is, alas, only available in the newest browsers.
