Some Reflections on Evernote and MyInfo
8/21/2011
I appreciate the suggestions. I will do some experiments with heavier tagging in Evernote.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will do some experiments along these lines.
I feel that I ought to like and use Evernote more than I do, but I confess that I still feel some lingering uneasiness about ...

Yes, I'm aware that it's possible to arrange tags hierarchically in the Evernote tag list, but that doesn't solve all of my problems. Here's an example (from the same family tree notes I described abo...

Just a few more thoughts about the troubling non-hierarchical aspect of Evernote. EN (the Windows version, at least) has recently introduced internote linking, and lately I've been doing some experime...

Thanks for the suggestion. I keep a careful eye on Ultra Recall developments, but there are moments when even I feel a little weary of my note-taking-programs promiscuity. (Perhaps I could suggest tha...

Like many of the rest of you on this forum, I've played around with various note-taking programs through the years, and I thought it might useful (certainly to myself and possibly to others) to take s...
Hardware CRIMP?
6/1/2011
OK, since we're daydreaming, let me elaborate on my favorite computer fantasy. As I said before, I'm especially preoccupied with the problem of carrying laptops or netbooks to libraries and taking not...
Hardware CRIMP?

Your point seems reasonable, but let me add that (a) I bought the iPad primarily for pleasure and have only gradually realized that it could also be used for work -- e.g., as an improvised external mo...
Hardware CRIMP?

I use a similar solution. I have a ridiculously small netbook -- the Sony Vaio P -- that is perfect for note-taking in libraries. (I'm a writer/scholar.) At times the screen feels uncomfortably tiny t...
In MyInfo 6.x, typing [[ in a note calls up an alphabetical list of other notes, one of which can then be hyperlinked.

NoteTab for note-taking
4/19/2011
I've decided to wait until I have a small research project (i.e., not a book), and then I'll try using NoteTab for the note-taking. If anyone's interested, I'll be happy to report back on my experienc...

Steve, I'll look at the clip collections more carefully than I have so far.
I'm afraid I've ruled out NoteTab Pro, because it does not support variable-width fonts.

Crimping strikes again! I really do appreciate all these suggestions (and am investigating them), but at this stage, after having looked at and tried out a zillion note-taking programs in recent years...

Thanks for these various useful suggestions. Since this forum is the world headquarters of crimping, I should also mention that I have done some extensive experiments with UltraEdit as a possible note...

Thanks. I'll take a look at Insight, though the screenshots on their website are not reassuring: it has an incredibly cluttered UI. I'm drawn to minimalism at the moment, but of course I also want eno...

Despite my enthusiastic comments about MyInfo on the "MyInfo 6 Just Released" thread, I confess that I fantasize about finding a plain-text solution for note-taking. I've tried and used a lot of progr...

Evernote 4 for Windows Released
10/27/2010
It's much faster -- and less of a memory hog than earlier versions. Aside from that, most of the changes seem to be minor and cosmetic.
As I pointed out today on the Evernote forum, EN 4, before it w...
Too many tools/Too much information

Yes, as far as I can see there is no way of exporting from the Web version. You can send individual notes by e-mail, and it's possible to "share" notebooks with individuals or create a public notebook...
