ConnectedText v5

I'm not contemplating co...

I'm looking for a 'simple' program that could parse my messages posted on Yammer --a sort of basic activity journal entries- and organise them by tags/dates for further use. My entries are of the foll...

10/13/2011
Vince, I have very little experience with Scrivener, but it clearly fits the bill of a writing oriented program that I suggested could complement Evernote (in the other thread). It sounds like an exce...

Storybook 3.0 review
10/12/2011
Pavi, thanks!
I actually posted my suggestion via the developer's website and got a positive reply; I'm glad that it wasn't just PR :-)

The other well-known concept mapping platform is Compendium http://compendium.open.ac.uk/institute/
Interestingly, all three (Cmap Tools, Compendium and VUE the most recent entrant) have been develop...
Beta of TheBrain 7.0 released
10/3/2011
I first used and registered PersonalBrain 10 years ago; at the time, the space-like interface and ability to link anything to anything seemed like the panacea to my info management needs. Yet after ve...

ConnectedText v5

Eduardo,
I'm posting an issue with Connected Text here, as it might be of interest to other forum members considering purchasing CT. I don't expect a quick answer, so don't worry if you see this af...
Storybook 3.0 review
10/1/2011
I'm also running Windows 64-bit and had no trouble installing.
The problem might have been with Java alright, but not Java 64-bit. I assume that Storybook is a 32-bit program so it would require 32-...
Why do you CRIMP?
9/29/2011
Dr Andus, I concur about the length of the Pomodoro being rather subjective, and indeed mine too is probably longer than 25'. At the same time I find that the Pomodoro is an acceptable minimum and tha...

Daly, thanks for the great points and the excellent blog post.
I'm going through a period of very intensive work and find that this forum is my favourite time-out. I don't watch television, I read th...
