A new year is upon us, "Best Ofs" have been posted all over the place and there are new things to look forward to.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to put the question out there: What were...
ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/30/2015
So, if I'm reading this correctly, syncing requires paying for a monthly subscription on top of paying for the application. That also means the ability to sync is tied to whether or not the developer ...
The end of the Taking Note blog

Quite unfortunate, but I understand. Though, it's doubly sad in that he probably just gave that creepy nutjob exactly what he wanted but I'm also aware of the emotional toll having a dedicated troll c...
Beginning to see the light with org-mode
12/22/2015
Throughout learning Emacs and Org-Mode, I've come across a *lot* of people evangelizing Spacemacs, but if I've never used Vim, what exactly does it offer me?
(That's not entirely accurate, through m...

That's unfortunate. It's one of the few text editors that seemed to really re-imagine text editi...

But will they ever update Daedelus Touch? Or is that pretty much abandoned now?

Beginning to see the light with org-mode
12/3/2015
Alright, I believe that I, too, have now seen the light.
Sort of. At least, I've figured out how to make Org-Mode do what I want an outliner to do. In my case, I've always wanted to be able to just ...
Beginning to see the light with org-mode
12/1/2015
So, I've recently found myself with more free time than I should and decided to tinker with Org-Mode. My feelings are mixed.
I feel like the biggest stumbling block to get over is realizing that Emac...
Omniflow.io becomes Dynalist.io
11/12/2015
I like it. It's more of a writing outliner that can handle task lists to Workflowy's task list app that could be used to write outlines.
Though, I kinda wish they copied them a little bit more -- th...
I like the idea of org-mode, but in practice, ugh.
I'd be willing to give it another try if someone managed to extricate it from emacs, but as it stands, blah.
I mean, I start up emacs and OK, I'm...
The big question for me is whether or not this might get an Android port...

Indeed.

Happy New Year fellow CRIMPers!

For 2014, I'm hoping with Intel making low-powered processors again (Bay Trail) that small, cheap notebooks become a thing again.
The cautionary tale of iA Writer Pro
12/27/2013
While we're still talking meta, can we please stop referring to Mac apps with an iOS version as being "cross-platform"? Every time I see that term used, all I can think of is "We have both kinds of mu...
Jdotxt - a GUI for Todo.txt
11/9/2013
It would be easy to think that the todo list app market is saturated. I know I seem to see at least one new one posted weekly.
But...most of them are web apps. Sure, the coolest ones will have accom...
Oh, wait, you said that...I should not post while tired. My apologies.
