OT: Desktop Shell
6/4/2007
Hello,
I apologize for the off-topic question, but I value the opinions of this group very much.
I've gotten tired of all the folders and documents I have spilled across my Windows desktop, and so ...
using the brain as front end

Jan (or anyone),
What's the status on Personal Brain 4.0? I see it is in beta. Have you tried it and is it an improvement?
Thank you.

Snippet/archive/library tool
5/10/2007
I'm not sure if this is a solution to your problem or not, but I think it is worth considering. With OneNote 2007 you can import PDFs (or any almost any files) as printouts -- so you can view the docu...
New Product Alert: Debrief

Like you, one of the first things I do when I investiage a new piece of software is check out the screenshots on the web site. And I agree that the screen shots on the Debrief site are woefully inadeq...
New Product Alert: Debrief
5/7/2007
Hello,
I just came across PIM software that I had never heard of before. It is called Debrief and it looks very promising. It comes in three flavors: Basic (free), Standard, and Pro. I'm going to be ...
New Surfulater release
4/30/2007
I don't think Neville sends out e-mail announcements of new releases, so I thought I'd post this note that there is a new release of Surfulater (www.surfulater.com).

Hi, all,
I know some of you have mentioned Notezilla as a notes management tool. It is going to be featured on Bits du Jour tomorrow.

Collectors/floating windows/icons
4/20/2007
I believe the first PIM program to offer this kind of functionality was ECCO Pro, with its Shooter. The Shooter is very similar to the Zooter in Zoot -- clearly, the Tom Davis liked the idea. Both of ...

Task managers
4/19/2007
While the idea of a task manager is very appealing to me, I have never been very good at maintaining the discipline to use them effectively. I say this to put the following recommendation in context (...

Brainstreamer

I checked out Brainstreamer too. I like the concept very much: That is, having different information "types" and keeping them all strung together in a large mindmap that can also be viewed as an outli...

Alexander,

Ideas for a Competitive Knowledgebase

JJ,
You should definitely look at OneNote 2007... It is supposed to work great with shared documents. It indexes, and you can store most anything within it. You can't imbed an OLE spreadsheet, but th...
