Holiday reflections 12/29/2014

Thanks Stephen, DrAndus and Bill. First: I have a Logitech Tablet Keyboard for the iPad. It is fine - but it does not attach to the iPad so it's not suited for working in the suburban train. Re Chro...

Hi. Best wishes to everyone here for 2015. In 2014 ... 1) I was on a quest for for a digital, mobile, instant-on writing machine for writing down ideas and short snippets when not in my office. I.e...

James. In case, no one here can provide the info: Head over to the Scrivener forum at http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/ and ask in the "Software" section. There are a number of guys and ladies...

Clibu, open beta 12/1/2014

Thanks, Neville. To be sure I understand: Do I need internet access when using Clibu through Firefox or Chrome on my Mac? That would not be a solution for me. I want my data locally, from time to tim...

Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal" 12/1/2014

Thanks Daly. But that was not the problem (not this time, I had also stumbled over that problem 2 years ago). This time I had already downloaded the content of the notes to my iPad. The notes were th...

Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal" 11/30/2014

Paul. That's exactly why I have been using Evernote. And exactly why I think about dropping Evernote: Last week, I went to a seminar in the mountains - no internet there. So I took along my iPad with...

Clibu, open beta 11/29/2014

Hi Neville. Will there also be a Mac desktop app? Thanks, Franz (who'd love to kiss EN goodbye but needs a reasonable web clipping/note storing application that allows sharing data on Windows PCs a...

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/12/2014

Thanks, Prion. Ownclowd is still on my list "give it a try when you have more time". For now, I will stick with Dropbox as it is supported by all OSses and apps I use.

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/11/2014

So: I am using Boxcryptor to encrypt a few folders in my Dropbox. Everything works smoothly so far (though I cannot say how save it really is, though AES has a good reputation). I however recommend to...

OT - bitsdujour - paragon migrate os to ssd 4.0 for $9.95 9/11/2014

I used the Paragon software (albeit version 3.x) to move the Windows systems on 2 notebooks to (smaller) SSDs. Everything went smoothly and as expected. I'd say that $10 is money well spent (I have no...

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/6/2014

I'll give Boxcryptor a try. It allows me to encrypt files and folders selectively - not all files need to be secured. I'll keep you informed. Franz

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/6/2014

Thanks Dan, sounds promising. Just what I wanted to hear :-D

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/5/2014

LOL I could also visit the Cloudfogger team - they're 2 hours away. Funny, the 2 encryption solutions for Dropbox were developed by German companies.

OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption 9/5/2014

Dropbox itself does not encrypt the content of the folders. I was asking about services such as Boxcryptor (btw a German company, I could even visit them, they`re about 1 hour away) or Cloudfogger or ...
