OT: Other MacBook users... 5/18/2014

Steve, I haven't so far had problems directly attributable to Mavericks itself. In my desktop I do have - as I say in another thread - 16GB of RAM: I believe that the spec for my Mac Mini sets 8 GB a...

Taking another look at Ulysses 5/16/2014

I like Ulysses too. Ulysses III is in a different class from Ulysses I and II. I can't remember whether Steve Z. has drawn attention here (he certainly has on his blog) to the author David Hewson's re...

Tagging files 5/7/2014

I use Yep, from Ironic Software; I believe that Leap from the same stable has similar functionality. I use Yep mainly because when I started to look at the tagging route, I discovered that I had a lon...

Tagging files 5/6/2014

I use a Mac, for which there is a very deft, rule-based file manipulation application called Hazel, created by the developer Noodlesoft. (There may be an equivalent for Windows, but I'm not aware of i...

Are Single-Programmer Software Projects Doomed? 4/13/2014

There's no doubt that the proliferation of platforms presents what my business school lecturers would have called a 'significant barrier to entry'. It means that a developer needs to add management to...

A huge Paradigm-Shift towards an Integrated Working Environment 4/8/2014

Is it simply old-fashioned to be hesitant about committing so much to the risks and compromises inherent in the Internet?

It makes one question the benefit to the writer of writing books (especially text books). The only consolation is that would-be pirates will still have to turn the pages.

Alternative to tags 3/29/2014

What I particularly like about the Hit List is its card view, where you can note down a great deal; this makes it useful for me as to-do list/note-taking-on-the-spur application for long-form writing....

Outlinely (for Mac) 3/29/2014

Thank you. Useful to know about.

OneNote for Mac on the horizon... 3/17/2014

On the basis of little more than ten minutes' usage, its functionality seems simpler and much less extensive than what I remember of the Windows version eight years ago. Perhaps for a free 'starter' e...

OneNote for Mac on the horizon... 3/17/2014

Now out - and free on Windows and the Mac.

DBMS for iPad 3/17/2014

(Slightly OT.) Related to this and to ambitions for paperlessness and document portability - I've recently found that the comparatively new Fujitsu Scansnap ix500 scanner and its associated software a...

OneNote for Mac on the horizon... 3/13/2014

Many thanks for the news. (It's interesting, incidentally, how OneNote has moved from being, in its earliest days, the application that no one knew how or where to deploy or what use to make of it , ...

globonote 3/3/2014

Shame. My experience too on OS10.8.5. I'd like to find a good full-featured Mac sticky-note application (that installs).

Trello? 3/2/2014

I subscribed to Trello for a year. What I really liked about it was its plain-ness and simplicity. A task manager is used several times every day but often for less than a minute each time, so to ach...

little red hen needs help 2/2/2014

Regarding what you've written, andy, two thoughts occur to me. One is that Gary is correct. A slightly different way of expressing what he wrote appeared on xkcd the other day: http://xkcd.com/1319/ ...

OmniOutliner 4 is finally available 1/15/2014

Thanks, Steve. I'm sure I'll upgrade: I'll be confident that the new version will work as described by OmniGroup and will look very good. But I think your comment is correct: for an integer upgrade, t...

Happy New Year fellow CRIMPers! 1/7/2014

A belated HNY to everybody. I too am looking forward to Tinderbox 6, and I'll also be looking forward (hopefully) to a series of blog posts about it from Steve Z. where he explains its features so th...

OneNote lovers on MacOS 12/19/2013

Thanks, madabout. Now it has an editor, it's definitely worth considering.
