Right Note

Wow. Someone who is actually imune to CRIMP. There is hope!

Writing tools for complex storytelling
2/24/2012
Dr Andus,
I'd still look at Scrivener to do this (with the caveat that I'm not sure Scriv for Windows is quite up to what I'm suggesting yet -- though I'm sure the Mac version can do it).
Here's wha...
Writing tools for complex storytelling

I think I understand the problem and your question (although if this response is way off the mark, then maybe I don't). It seems to me you could use Scrivener to compose your five strands, but the pie...

ConnectedText; any case studies?

In case it is of interest to anyone, I've posted a story about CT on my blog, which you can find here:

Fast 3D modelling

I would agree with Alexander that you should look at PersonalBrain. You can use the CAPTURE THOUGHT ICON tool to grad a screen clip of each company's logo to use as the icon. You can label the LINKS, ...

2/18/2012
It seems unlikely that anyone here using a Mac doesn't already have a copy of DevonThink Pro, but just in case... It's on sale for $39.95 at MacUpdate Promo:

Hi, all.
Don't know if anyone is interested, but the handy writing application Page Four is on sale at Bits du Jour today for $11.99. There's a video posted at Bits that shows how it works. PF does n...

Thanks for the details, Graham. What an ambitious project. Congratulations on getting it finished... it looks great. It's interesting how different our uses are for the same software.

ConnectedText; any case studies?

Hello,
In my continuing quest to find the perfect information manager, I am once more delving seriously into ConnectedText. This move was prompted by my general dissatisfaction with the solutions I'v...
MyBase and NoteFrog on BDJ
2/8/2012
Some years ago I bought a license for NoteFrog, because its functionality intrigued me -- it was probably during an earlier Bits promotion. However, the interface is so "old fashioned" that it looks l...
Crimping in the 80s and 90s
2/1/2012
One other '80s app that I've just recalled was Sidekick. It was my first real PIM with a calendar and other utilities. The big deal was that with Sidekick you could copy text from one application and ...
Crimping in the 80s and 90s

Hah! Great topic...
Some of the antique PIMs I once used:
- Instant Recall, a nice little DOS PIM
- GrandView (of course)
- Memory Mate
- EccoPro
- InfoSelect
In most cases, you not only couldn't tr...
Seems to me he left off Simple Note, which you can have on your mobile device (I don't know if there is an app for all devices or just Apple's). On a Mac computer, you can read these with the free app...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
1/25/2012
Hi, Simon,
I understand the caution with free software; though there are ample examples of paid applications which become abandoned.
I believe you can put a lot of information in a CircusPonies Note...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
1/24/2012
I have used both, but I do not rely on them much, so this opinion is not based on deep usage.
I think Notebook is considered the more solid of the two, and that matches my experience. I do like the c...
Tree Outliner (Mac)
1/24/2012
Hi, Jim,
For those interested and who might have missed it, I wrote a review of Tree for Mac Appstorm last summer. Here is the link:

single-pane outliner with fields/columns
1/23/2012
Thanks for the heads up on the Noteliner update, Bill. A great program just keeps getting better. With the exception of namesakes, Noteliner seems to me to be the program I wish Brainstorm had been (a...

Also, Tinderbox or its little brother, Twig, can act as single-pane outliners with custom columns. Again, just for the Mac.

single-pane outliner with fields/columns
1/18/2012
I can't think of any for Windows. On a Mac there are two choices, OmniOutliner and Neo. Also, the outliner in Scrivener supports custom columns... which the Windows version does not yet have.
It's sh...
NoteTab for note-taking

WSP,
Thanks for the heads up about the PC/Mac version of Notebooks. I have just started using it on an iPod Touch and it is a fine application, which should be terrific as a desktop program.

Zoot XT - experiences?
1/7/2012
Early in its beta release (which was what? 30 or so years ago now, I think) I hated Zoot XT (or version 6, as it is also known). That was when I was using Windows XP still. But a few months ago, my wo...

A whole new world!!!

Okay, I know that admitting that until now I didn't have a modern mobile device will make me seem like a Luddite, but I just got an iPod Touch and am very impressed by the wide world of apps, and how ...
