Well, well, well - I've long admired (from a distance) the rather nice NoteTaker and NoteShare software by Aquaminds. Sadly, they've only ever been available for MacOS. But guess what, they've just go...
Ah, I'd have a suggestion there, Graham - much faster and more efficient than Office for handling very large documents is SoftMaker Office, which also has some astonishingly good Word filters (www.sof...
PiggyDB

Yes, I have to say I think it's pretty amazing, and the developer (who is, I assume, Japanese) is also very responsive and has outstanding English. He's got some interesting entries on his blog, too, ...

Ah! No, it's not - you can create users very easily, although everybody has the same access to every part of the database, which does restrict the functionality somewhat. You simply create a fragment ...
Workflowy: Your Brain on One Page
2/27/2011
Interesting, but strikingly like UV-Outliner in terms of functionality. Personally, I prefer off-line outliners, although I respect the fact that many people like to run everything in a browser (in wh...

Just to add my little contribution to this sudden flurry of activity, I'd like to mention PiggyDB (piggydb.net), which I've been playing with for the past couple of days. It's described as a knowledge...
OneNote iPhone app
2/14/2011
I've taken another look at Microsoft's own OneNote client, and find that it's optimised for (automatic) synchronisation with your OneNote files on Windows Live.
MobileNoter, on the other hand, synchr...
UV Outliner

Good news - I like this little program, although I don't use it very often!
Cheers,
Bill
TreeSheets is very good, and the Dutch developer is charming and very responsive. But I've been trying to persuade him to incorporate folding for months now, and he's very resistant (TreeSheets does a...
OneNote iPhone app
2/14/2011
I've looked at it with interest, but I already use the awesome MobileNoter, which is exceedingly well designed and runs on both iPhone and iPad, so to be perfectly honest I can't see any pressing reas...
Thanks for the recommendation, Jason - I've been experimenting with it, and as somebody who deals with translations a lot, I'm actually very favourably impressed. The only downside is its insistence o...
Need help tracking web pages
1/13/2011
Ah! Fair 'nuff, guv, that's certainly quite a lot of people to manage - sounds like an IT nightmare! Also sounds like you could do with your own departmental intranet, though - maybe you could blag a ...
Need help tracking web pages

I think it's time to put some serious pressure on your IT department! In this day and age, it's perfectly ridiculous to expect a department of 35 people to comment efficiently on a website without pro...
Need help tracking web pages
1/13/2011
Hm - your quandary has got me thinking, and of course I'm forgetting the wonderful ScrapBook extension for Mozilla Firefox, which you can use to save entire web pages exactly as they are, then add ann...
Need help tracking web pages

Sorry, quick self-correction here: Website-Watcher, is the name of the app. Local Website Archive would probably be more relevant, and isn't expensive. You can highlight and edit text in saved web pag...

In view of your requirements, Ken, I'd suggest using something like "Awesome Screenshot" (an extension for Google Chrome), which allows you to take complete screenshots of a web page (including the bi...
MobileNoter update
12/2/2010
On the subject of Evernote, those of you who use the latter alongside Microsoft OneNote might be interested to hear that the folks who produce MobileNoter (the amazing iPhone/iPad client for OneNote -...
Anyone else use XMind...?
12/2/2010
Being one of those sad individuals who obsessively likes to complete lists of things, I'm kind of classifying XMind as a sort of outliner. Given that it's as powerful as MindManager but FREE (at least...
Collaborative outlining

Yes, I'm anxious about that, too! There are a couple of serious lacks that need sorting out before I shall be 100% reassured: although the system automatically backs itself up, there doesn't appear to...

Sorry, Alexander, didn't see your question: no, you install the entire server, then access it through http://localhost (it uses the default web ports 80 and 443). It's very, very quick, so you wouldn'...

Actually, I've just realised that according to Steve's definition (in his OmniOutliner review), Kerio Workspace is not a "true" outliner at all. It uses folders, it doesn't hoist, it focuses primaril...
Anybody played with TreeCells yet?
10/15/2010
Yes, sadly it's currently fairly dreadful. And doesn't have a Search or Find function, which to my mind makes it outrageous that he's trying to sell the thing...

I have to say, I've had exceptionally good support from a number of German developers now (the lovely J?rg who programs DFM2HTML, for example, or Andreas at Telepark...).
ListPro for iPhone
10/15/2010
For those who care, ListPro has - finally! - produced an iPhone app! I've been keeping all sorts of useful fragments in ListPro ever since I owned a Palm m100; I've transferred it to Windows CE, then ...

We've just started playing with the really very impressive Kerio Workspace (http://www.kerio.com/workspace). For a piece of beta software, it's remarkably polished, and it's got some amazing features ...
