Noteliner
11/29/2010
I just wanted to put up an unpdate about Noteliner. I've been using it extensively the past few weeks as I work on an intensive planning project. I have found Noteliner to be a really useful applicati...

InfoSelect is the ultimate poster child for the mistake of trying to pack every feature and function under the sun into what was once a pretty usable application. At its core, IS was a nice freeform d...
askSam Pro 7 @ bitsdujour on 19. Nov. 2010
11/15/2010
I have a license to version 7 -- I think I bought it while in a CRIMP dillerium. AskSam has always felt like the ultimate tease to me, promising exactly what I was looking for, but delivering a buggy,...

As it happens, my boss just asked me to plot out my goals for the next six months, so it seems like the perfect opportunity to put Goalscape to the test.
It is pretty easy and intuitive to use. So fa...
Curio review up at Mac AppStorm
10/28/2010
Hugh,
About a year or so ago I suggested the "master" mind map index idea to Zengobi on their user forum. George responded that they liked the idea and would consider implementing it, but it didn't m...
Curio review up at Mac AppStorm
10/28/2010
Franz,
One thing about the Curio vs. OneNote comparison that I wish I'd mentioned in the review is that Curio does not have the slick OCR capability of OneNote. It does screen captures, but can't ext...

Computer vs. typewriter vs. long hand
10/27/2010
Gary's note stirred a memory of a great debate that took place 23 years ago about this same issue. It was spurred forth by the great writer and luddite Wendell Berry. This link,

Interesting that David Hewson has switched back to a PC. It's something I'm considering, since I too find Apple far too repressive in its policies. Still... I've invested in a lot of Mac software, and...

Thank you for the responses. I am leaning toward one of the Lenovos because of the keyboard. The Samsung that people raved about seems to have been discontinued. But I'm going to keep researching and ...

Hi, all,
I hope no one will mind too much if I pose this question. I want to get my wife a new computer for Christmas and I'm thinking a netbook will suit her well. She mostly used her current laptop...
OmniOutliner Review

Thanks for the plug, Hugh. That was a fun article to write. I just submitted another review -- this one for Curio. I'm not sure when it will be posted, but probably within the week.

Jim,
This sounds likes something you could do very easily with Zoot (easily, that is, once you become familiar with how Zoot works). The new version is getting close to being released, I think. Truth...
Have you looked at EccoPro? Development stopped many years ago, but there is a large, dedicated group of users who keep adding improvements. Anyway, I think it does everything you're looking for and i...
Anyone else enjoying Freeplane?

Alexander and Jerome,
Thank you for your heroic efforts to help me get Freeplane running. Alexander, I just tried uninstalling and re-installing Java, and I tried changing the .bat file to include th...

Alexander,
Thanks for the tip. It looks like the problem is it is not recognizing java as a command. Here is what it says:
'java? is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable progr...

Even just clicking on the batch file doesn't work. I think I'll have to resign myself to being unable to use Freeplane. (Cue violins!)

Jerome,
Actually, my windows firewall was turned off, so that couldn't be an issue. I just turned it on, but didn't find the exceptions for Java you mentioned.
I've been trying to find some sort of ...
