I use Nomadesk regularly (among 3 PCs) and am quite satisfied by its performance and consistent development (it is still in beta). Mac beta invite is planned for January 2009 but they don't seem to ha...

Jim,
what would the closest equivalent to Papers be on the PC?

Update: I've been trying out EverDesk (originally Optima, now settling on Mail). I like the core concept and will be registering the program. It represents the most convenient way to back up my e-mail...

Wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, all the best during whatever feast you are observing.
And a joyful and prosperous 2009 no matter what predictions say :-)
All the best,

Warning on Bits du Jour
12/24/2008
As far as I know, BdJ comments are published normally. My own recent comments on TVzation ( http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/tvzation-ii/ ) were published immediately, without moderation.

This article, recently shared at the Zoot list, suggests that the scientific world faces as much information overflow as many of us, and more:

Hi Yosem,
I think you are unlikely to find everything you are looking for in a single program (it would probably come quite close to what some of us would call the Holy Grail in information managemen...
Notecase Pro in 2008
12/22/2008
For the programmers in the forum, Notecase Pro's latest build offers syntax highlighting for a very large number of languages.
What makes this even more powerful is that syntax highlighting can be se...

Michal, thanks for the heads-up on Eluma. It looks like an interesting tool, especially since it provides synchronisation between computers.

Glad to have been of help :-)
By the way, regarding Chrome --which I also flirted a while with- you might want to check the following stories suggesting that it is nothing short of a resource hog, as...
Web Capture
12/18/2008
Yes, I've been using it for many years. It's extremely stable and also keeps 3 rolling backups of each bookmark file that you use. I personally only use one file which is actually maintained in a virt...

From what I gather, what you are looking for (URL, page title and have a field for comments) should be offered by any 'bookmark manager' out there. I personally use LinkStash ( http://www.xrayz.co.uk/...
Just a note to say that Evernote has now added file synchronisation to its premium accounts:

Ken,
You will be pleased to hear that the 'endless roll' metaphor no longer applies to Evernote (3) at least in the web and, I think, the Mac version. One now gets nice single sheet views of notes. I...
I am not sure about show/hide, but for lots of text within table cells I would suggest that you try out a rather idiosynchratic freeware tool known as Notebox Disorganizer ( http://www.geocities.com/g...

Hi Vladimir,
Many thanks for the information. I will definitely try out the program; the message-to-file approach may solve an important issue --backup- which can take ages with large Outlook --or, i...

Just a note for the file, to say that Notecase Pro now has a discussion group at Google:

I would expect treating every mail message as a separate file to have certain limitations. For one, it would lead to much greater disk use and I would question its speed for large numbers of emails. M...
Netbooks - Hardware CRIMP?

Apologies for the confusion. That should have been "offering more than twice a netbook’s specifications for less than TWICE the price", i.e. that the specifications per dollar are much better. S...
Netbooks - Hardware CRIMP?
12/5/2008
Ken,
My own netbook experience is, as yet, rather short (I only bought mine less than a month ago) and limited to Linux, but you might find it useful nonetheless. You might also want to check out Dav...
John, Bob, many thanks for the quick response. I see that there's not much danger of getting trapped inside a non-generic format which is a good thing.
I will also try Chapter by Chapter because it o...
