ConnectedText; any case studies?
3/5/2012
Note - you don't even really need markup for getting your thoughts and notes into CT. You can just type paragraphs into it in the same way you'd type them into any plain text editor.

ConnectedText; any case studies?

Also, it's probably worth noting that my usage of CT is mainly for directly entering information into it. I do use it to clip some info from the web, but as Graham notes, the look of imported/clipped ...
ConnectedText; any case studies?

I'm also becoming a big fan of ConnectedText. I could probably go on and on about it, but here are a few highlights:

THANK YOU, CHRIS!

It is my pleasure. The modicum of effort required is dwarfed by the value of the discussions here.
Happy holidays everyone!
Chris
Thanks - got it. It looks like it is an incomplete post, so Sisleymak, you may want to re-post if you are still here.
The text file for this forum is now being updated again (it should update once per day), and I've added the same text file to the new forum.
Thanks, everyone!
I've added a link to the other site in each forum's left bar.
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

I've continued this discussion at http://www.mypersonalproductivity.com/topics/viewt/2/0/check-email-first-thing-in-the-morning-or-not
I wrote the forum software, using the CodeIgniter framework.
Since it seems that recently quite a few topics have tended to veer off into the territory of theory, psychology, brain science, etc., and away from software, I have decided to launch a sister forum f...
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

Daly, I think that's a very useful distinction, and I would say that it might not just be useful, but required in many situations. If I am programming with no conscious outcome orientation, my program...

Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

Yes, I do agree that concentration is a key to productivity. I was just reacting to the initially posted article and the fact that "practice" may not translate directly to productivity in general (alt...

Playing a musical instrument also involves physical dexterity and coordination that is absent from knowledge work (assuming you can already type extremely fast).

Thoughts about forum protocol

I agree with everything said here. As your host and moderator, I've enjoyed the overall civility over the past five years - it certainly makes my job a lot easier. I've only had to remove one user in ...
EML versus PST in e-mail programs
8/5/2011
Graham,
You might want to take a look at Aid4Mail at http://www.aid4mail.com/
I have used it mostly for conversions, so I haven't really tried any of the archiving functions. It can archive to zip f...
Hiercharchical Relational Database

I think you could do this pretty easily in UR - just set up templates for issues, citations, and authors, and then freely link them together as you see fit. Although there is an "item" attribute that ...

I see the merits of BrainStorm (forced focus and quick rearranging) and keeping things segmented based on source (internal/external) and level of polish or completeness. But perhaps the system is too ...
New BrainStorm

I have 5 numbered marks in my copy of BrainStorm, which I've had for years. The About screen shows "v3.6 Rel 0 at Jun 23 2008"

New BrainStorm

My guess is that there isn't really a new version yet, and the new owner has just begun changing the name for marketing purposes. From the video, it certainly looks the same (although new development ...
