Thoughts about forum protocol
11/3/2011
ON FORUM PROTOCOL (yes, I know, embarrassing, and probably not my place, but...):
Quite a lot of the people involved in this forum are obviously powerful characters, with strong Views on what is/isn'...
Hi Fredy,
Sorry, just caught sight of your post about UTF-8: interesting point. And in fact, to an extent, you're right - Agent Ransack doesn't "see" European characters correctly in e.g. RTF files (...
Have to agree that Agent Ransack / FileLocator Lite is very capable - the Pro version is also very capable, incidentally. But even the Lite version can search through MS Office files, and supports UTF...
With all due respect, Fredy, there are literally dozens of more or less competent multiple application launchers out there - a quick Google is all it takes. Not so many of them associated with compete...
For those who like spreadsheets/spreadsheet-like organisational methods, it's worth taking a look at Simple Groupware (which has a built-in Simple Spreadsheet) or at the latest beta of Feng Office.
I...
Great list, Alexander - thanks! I'll look into some of those. Something we're experimenting with currently - with pretty good results - is a service called soonr.com, which synchronises files across m...
You might also want to take a good, hard look at TiddlyWiki. I haven't played with tiddlywiki for a long time, but it's still evolving, and it's easier than ever to set up a hosted tiddlywiki service ...
Moving a little way away from notetakers and/or outliners, you might also want to look at Soonr (www.soonr.com), which offers a file synchronisation service with extra features - notably full-text sea...
Rats! No, not absolutely perfect after all - unfortunately it trashes the folder structure (or rather, it extracts all subfolder content and copies it to the top level/root folder. Shame. I use folder...
Actually, that's very nearly absolutely perfect! ResophNotes finds all my WriteUp notes without problems - doesn't recognise folders, but does drill down into subfolders and show all text notes. And i...
I like Zim, but I haven't encountered ResophNotes - and I find it supports Markdown! Very interesting. Could revolutionize my fast, cross-platform note-taking experience!
Cheers,
Bill
Agree about AM-Notebook - potentially very good, but search is slo-o-o-ow.
Another great solution is KeepNote (freebie). Stores notes as separate HTML files, so you can have quite sophisticated notes...
Reflexive outlining with several outliners
10/20/2011
Fascinating. I'm glad to find I'm not the only one who uses multiple outliners/applications to write things - I've always been rather embarrassed by this, because I often find myself playing around wi...
Ah, yes, have to agree with that one, Sam! It is remarkably, unexpectedly disconcerting!
Cheers,
Bill
Splendid fellow, Sam! I agree with Egil - case is not important (in fact, non-discrimination is preferable!), but basic Boolean search support would be brilliant.
That really would turn Noteliner int...
Hi guys 'n' gals! Sorry, been very, very busy (but not complaining!), so haven't posted here for a while. Just thought I'd respond to Egil's interesting query, however. I've just been corresponding wi...
Sounds good! It's awaited with interest...
Cheers,
Bill
Eventually I worked that out, by which time all interest in checking out BrainStorm WFO had deserted me, especially since NoteLiner seems to do all the same things (more or less) for free... Basically...
Tree for MacOS
7/19/2011
... and yeah, TreeSheets is amazing, especially in its most recent form (which now includes folding). I use it regularly for creative brainstorming (when I'm not using Numbers on my iPad, that is!), b...

Sorry, Ken, only just caught sight of this, having been away on hols for a week or so.
I move data off my iPad in a wide variety of ways:
a) using the WebDAV interface with my servers here (our cen...
Hi there, JB,
At first I thought Graham was being a little rough on you, but having visited the website: phew! What a load of, well, "interesting" claims! Apart from anything else, I don't like enthu...
Tree for MacOS

Liked the review, Steve, really hit the spot. I was particularly impressed by the way that you can open up the horizontal outline for just one vertically listed item at a time - that's unique, I think...

Anything by Readdle tends to be well-conceived, to be honest.
Another app I forgot to mention is Save2PDF, which gives you a built-in PDF printer so you can save anything on your iPad as a PDF file. ...

Yes, you're right. I generally read Google Reader stuff on my PC, but on the iPad I regularly use:
---BBC News (excellent!)
---Feedly (also excellent)
---Fluent News Reader (not bad, but not particula...
Noteliner adds tables
7/4/2011
Thanks, John/Steve, for the heads-up. That's rather impressive - tables appears to be an alternative way of lining up items and sub-items. The fact that you can fold rows within a table is particularl...
