Retrospective outlining 4/1/2012

This is an interesting topic. It relates to a feeling I've long had about outliners, namely that the ones which of restrict your outline to individual blocks of text are not really outliners at all. T...

Retrospective outlining 3/31/2012

There is an application called Writer's Blocks which may do this. The program has been around for quite some time, and had been stalled at version 3.0 for at least six or seven years. But recently, ve...

mac/ipad outliner links 3/30/2012

The two programs Julia (the reviewer) left out that are significant outliners for Mac are Tinderbox (and its little brother Twig) and Neo. In my view Tinderbox is generally the best outliner for Mac, ...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/7/2012

Hi, Bill, So I just did an experiment on OneNote here at my day job to put your methodology to the test and it does work quite well. I never had the need to export OneNote documents to Word before. T...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/7/2012

Re Bill's comment about OneNote: Tinderbox would also be very good for this manual, visual sort. And, as an update, I called my Apple dealer and asked about upgrading memory in my MacBook. He actual...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/7/2012

Hi, Bill, I think you're referring to Growly Notes, which appears modeled after OneNote, though without a lot of the bells and whistles. A question about OneNote -- how do you merge your collection ...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/6/2012

First of all, thank you Hugh, Franz and Dr. Andus for your helpful suggestions. I will always welcome advice from this community,* which I respect and enjoy so much. I have already chunked the manusc...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/6/2012

Franz, The true answer is: nothing. But I'm desperate. The task at hand is very vexing -- reworking a 100-page manuscript that is loaded with facts (it's a history of a Revolutionary War fortificat...

Hugh, That's an excellent suggestion, one of those "why didn't I think of that" solutions. Thank you for that wake up call. Steve Z. Hugh wrote: >Steve, as an aside, would more RAM do the trick? I ...

ConnectedText vs. Scrivener 3/6/2012

I have yet to really put CT to the test of writing long, more formal works. At my office, I am not required to write such documents. In my personal life, I do, but I am not very happy running CT throu...

ConnectedText; any case studies? 3/5/2012

I agree with Alexander that if you're looking for a contact manager that does not need to output mailing labels or otherwise export information to a CSV file for mass communication, CT makes a great c...

Notes in one place - Wrong? 3/4/2012

Glen, Thanks for the run down on the applications you use. Also, thanks for the great video of how to use your academic library file for ConnectedText. My own list of applications is pretty convolut...

TheBrain 7 Beta 3/2/2012

I posted some rambling thoughts about TheBrain on my blog yesterday, in an effort to try to understand better why I like it, but why I don't use it for all my information management: http://welcometo...
