EverDesk on Bits
2/13/2009
Hi,
I recall a discussion of EverDesk here a few weeks ago, and thought some of you might be interested in knowing that ED will be on sale at Bits du Jour next Thursday, February 19.

Against Everything Buckets

I can see the value of tagging, but I can also see its major pitfalls, especially for someone like me. It seems that to be truly effective using tags, you need to be extremely disciplined in their use...
Against Everything Buckets

Interesting and provocative, but ultimately I think the author is wrong. Not entirely of course. I think most of us have come to the conclusion that there isn't a holy grail application, one that hand...

Another Zoot update

Tom has revealed some of the new features of Zoot 6.0 in various posts. Here is what I've been able to glean (quoting Tom):

In Zoot 6 you can capture an entire web page or any por...
Another Zoot update

In case you missed it in the Zoot forum, Tom Davis said that Zoot 6.0 is "tantalizingly close," but he still has about three to four weeks work on it.

The power for any of application of this type is providing flexibility in viewing its contents. Outline view is great in many ways, but it is restrictive, as well. Tags/contexts can allow smart folder...

Yes, Connected Text is a fine program, but development on it hasn't exactly progressed at a rapid pace in the past two years. The new Evernote is interesting, but in some ways a step back from what it...

All good points, Daly. I think the lesson in all this is that one should never put out money for an application because of its promise, but only for what it does now. That is, assume that it will nev...
Intriguing new task-management software

I've taken a look at The Hit List, as well. It is certainly an elegant piece of software that "feels" good to use. However, it seems to me to be grossly over-priced, at least with its current feature ...
XMind Pro at BdJ tomorrow

I support Alexander's enthusiasm for XMind; however, it should be noted that the new Pro version is a subscription. The deal at BdJ is basically getting a three-year subscription for the price of one ...
Task management help.

Wiki for Fiction Writing

I have a license for both Connected Text and Voodoo Pad, but as of yet do not use either one extensively. I like the idea of a personal wiki, but have yet to really commit any serious work to them. Ho...
