Document Management Systems
1/26/2013
I noticed that a document management system called My Digital Documents is on sale at Bits today. Has anyone used this before? If so, is it worth the price? Also, has anyone had any experience with ot...
Multiple Monitors
1/15/2013
I'm using an HP laptop with a second (emachines) monitor big enough to display two full pages of a Word document side by side.
I've been using double monitors for years now. They're an absolute neces...

I'm testing CintaNotes v.2 right now. It's absolutely fantastic. At first I was worried that the developers were going feature crazy, but the new tabbed folders are great. Very useful.

I've never heard of SimpleNotes. Could I use this to synch my CintaNotes notes across two computers?
I have two laptops in two different locations and I'm tired of having to export my CintaNotes stuf...

CintaNotes soon half off at Bits...

$12.50 is an absolute steal for this fantastic program. It's full price--$25--is dirt cheap.
Cintanotes is one of the best and most useful programs I own. I use it every day, all the time.

Outliner 4D is basically a combination of a traditional outliner with an index card view. It's a good idea, but it doesn't work that well in practice. The outliner's OK, but the index card view is unr...

I just realized that the original post is four years old. Guess the OP already made his decision about what to get a long time ago...

The weird thing about the "industry standards" Final Draft and Movie Magic is that they are both riddled with bugs. At least, the windows versions are (I get the impression from reading the mixed revi...
cintanotes 1.8 is out
10/3/2012
This is how I use Cintanotes.
I'm a blogger. Run two blogs (warning: shameless plug);

Ominous Planet (ominousplanet.com)
Besides original material...

Fantastic program. Can't say enough good things about it.
Great design. Ultra ergonomic. Runs in the background. Simple, effective, rock solid.
CintaNotes would be worth ten times the asking price.

How Does UltraRecall Compare To OneNote?
7/12/2012
Thanks. UR sounds good, but I guess I'll stick with OneNote. I mostly just use it for long-term archiving.
How Does UltraRecall Compare To OneNote?
7/11/2012
Is there any major difference between UltraRecall and OneNote? Does UR have any capabilities than OneNote doesn't have? Better web capture, etc?
Just asking because UR's on sale for $19 at Bits Du Jo...
Modifying a manual typewriter to work like a computer is an abomination.
This is worse than digital pens or silicone breast implants. It's like installing a lawnmower engine on a 10-speed bicycle or ...

This is a great deal on a fantastic application. I've been using Cintanotes for a long time now and can't say enough good things about it. It's incredibly useful and one of the most ergonomic programs...
Chapter by chapter rules!
5/7/2012
I should've said that it's a solution looking for a problem when it comes to writing novels. I can see how this would be very useful for other things.
Chapter by chapter rules!
5/7/2012
Just out of curiosity, why is something like this needed for writing a novel? Specifically, why would you need to create separate files for each chapter in a novel? I can see why doing that might be h...
Is Anyone Using Audio Notetaker?
5/4/2012
Do you already have a recorder?
If not, I can recommend some good ones from my own personal use.
Is Anyone Using Audio Notetaker?
5/2/2012
Thanks. I downloaded a trial version of Audio Notetaker a while ago and checked it out. Looks pretty good. Also, it's the only program for managing and searching audio files I've found so far. I agree...
Is Anyone Using Audio Notetaker?
5/2/2012
I've been thinking about getting Audio Notetaker and was wondering if anyone here was using it. I think some forum members bought it the last time it was on sale at Bits DuJour. If so, do you have any...
Robert Caro's outliner

You don't really need the big office and furniture and secretary and so on. This whole setup could be replicated on a much smaller and cheaper scale. For example, you could use stand-mount corkboards ...

I don't particularly dislike Brainstorm. I used to use it all the time. It's an odd kind of outliner, though, that only lets you view one level of an outline at a time. If I remember correctly, Brains...

This is a beautiful system. Absolutely beautiful. I love its minimalism and efficiency. His office is fantastic. I particularly like his SC Electra 210.
Working like this focuses your attention on wh...

Don't you have to set up some kind of shared folder in VM in order to transfer files between VM and Windows?
