Virtual machines for CRIMPers
2/25/2016
I run Windows instances on my Mac, too. I have to, because I use InCopy to enter text directly into a German publisher's servers. Unfortunately, the rather elderly version of InCopy I have doesn't run...
Oh, and I see you do already have auto-suggest, which goes a long way towards autotagging - may even be better. Sorry! I haven't taken a close look at Clibu since it went fully online.
You lovely bunny, Neville! At last, a Surfulater for the desktop that's right up to date and foreign-language capable! Big kisses on both cheeks! I am on fire with impatience!
And I enjoyed the blog ...
Textnut update
2/18/2016
Sorry, should have said iPhone, iPod, iPad. And it's TextNut, not Textnut.
Also worth mentioning that you can customise its appearance fairly extensively, that it has a Zen mode (for non-distraction ...

I also love the fact that it already runs on iPhone/iPod, and integrates not only with iCloud, but with (any folder in) Dropbox, too.
Scrivener for mobile?

Thanks, Paul - now that's very good news! I hope Keith posts a link to the interview on his blog; lots of fans will be sooooooo happy!
Textnut update
2/16/2016
Textnut, a pleasant but somewhat idiosyncratic Markdown editor for MacOS, has just been given a big update. With a new three-pane appearance plus support for iCloud - plus a nice new iOS client (not q...
Curio 10 now available

yooghoogh – hey, we could start a new company... !

Sorry, Paul - I meant you, not Hugh!

Also worth remarking that you don't need Curio in order to use Curiota, which is completely open and non-proprietary. It stores notes in a standard format (RTF) in libraries you can create anywhere yo...

Oh wow, that is a huge improvement. Having had it on my menu bar for a while, but then got rid of it because of its irritating lack of features, I've now reinstated it as a "launch at boot" option. Ve...
Apple Wiki
2/12/2016
We haven't talked much about wikis recently, so I thought I'd bring people up to date with our experience of the Apple Wiki included with the very modestly priced Apple Server package.
So dreadful ar...
local notebooks in Evernote
2/12/2016
Personally, I'm bloody annoyed, having recently taken out a paid (the cheapest, fortunately) contract with Evernote precisely because of the offline/local notebooks feature.
However, it's not a compl...
Hey Paul - you're right, but Checkvist is exclusively online, with (as far as I can tell) no offline support at all.
That automatically excludes it, I'm afraid... ;-)
Actually, you're right. I'd forgotten how much room there is for notes in The Hit List. And I've just discovered (doh!) that they support rich text, too.
As well as folders, smart folders, two differ...
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the tip, and indeed, I keep a close eye on MLO - but alas, they haven't released a Mac version yet. They're thinking about it, however...
Andrew,
Thanks for the Chrome extension ...
Even better, the web page thus generated preserves the folding/unfolding behaviour of Todoist itself, so each parent task has a little arrow next to it. So you generate complete, folding outlines from...
Following on from my musings under Remember The Milk (RTM), I've copied over my last post to a new topic:

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul

Stimulated by my last thought, I've just had a quick sniff at Todoist again (must get back to work, really!), and yes, it could indeed by used as a fairly powerful outliner.
The only downside is exp...

Having shelled out GBP 27 or so for the Pro version, I continue to be impressed by RTM, although it does have a couple of weaknesses.
First, subtasks are very cool. They are infinitely hierarchisable...

Virtual machines for CRIMPers
2/8/2016
Yes, indeed - Parallels is notorious for needing a lot of RAM. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's extremely good, but if you haven't got a solid 16GB, it's going to be... sedate, is perhaps the best wor...
Interesting. Well, the new version looks pretty cool. A kind of combo of all the best bits from e.g. Wunderlist, DoItIm, TickTick and various others.
It's a huge improvement over the previous version...

Veertu does sound fascinating - I shall certainly experiment.
Crossover I've got, and don't rate very highly, to be honest. I'm sure there's stuff it works well with, but it doesn't work with the app...
