'Flying Logic' versus 'Rationale'
11/16/2007
Does anyone have experience with both of these argument mapping applications? If so, I would find interest in any comparative observations.
Does anyone have an opinion on which has the better name? ...
XMIND 2008 At Bits du Jour Today

Have you tried one of the argument mappers: Rationale or Flying Logic? I haven't tested them yet, but I'm impressed that they could be the rare genuine development over and above outlinig/mindmapping ...

I'm not sure I understand your question. GAOTD is functioning as an agent of the third party developer. Are you thinking they offer third-party software without the third party's approval? The non-com...
Virtues and debilities of plain text
11/10/2007
On the other hand, if select does not function "smartly," you cannot double-click on a word and delete it. Word 2003 for Windows smart selects the last space, but if you retype a double-clicked word, ...
Virtues and debilities of plain text
11/7/2007
"Smart" paste and drag, etc. as found in word processing applications like Word and WordPerfect, are convenient for writing but maybe not for programming. Do plain text editors forego this feature, as...
MyInfo 4 - nonexistent trial version?
11/2/2007
Am I accurately perceiving that MyInfo 4 has is not offered at all for trial? The trial downloal remains as version 3.6.
The disagreement, Manfred, is that while you take pains to emphasize that linking is _not_ a privileged form of thinking, I assert that writing *is* privileged that way, and acts of writing down one's...
I think the matter of levels of analysis deserves a little bit of belaboring. At least three distinct levels deserve mention: physiological, psychological, and phenomenological.
We're all pretty clea...

Links

"A link has two ends, called anchors, and a direction. The link starts at the source anchor and points to the destination anchor. A link from one domain to another is said to be outbound from its sour...
I think maybe the question of whether connections generate inspiration can be subsumed under Manfred's claim that certain contemporary software can amplify intelligence. I'm not sure 'inspiration' is ...
A New Tool

A comparison program should probably be Axon.
Simplify, simplify
10/23/2007
I think choice of applications makes only a marginal difference to one's productivity. We talk about seeing connections in the data, but that still and maybe for a long time will depend primarily on s...

ConnectedText versus Ndxcards
10/22/2007
What I meant isn't that ndxcards already offers this, but that nothing keeps a program like ndxcards from adding such a feature. The automatic noticing of commonalities seems independent of the wiki f...
ConnectedText versus Ndxcards
10/22/2007
In that post, I didn't intend to say that an outline must serve as the endpoint of the process. I was only wondering how CT created outlines from undirected connections, which I mistakenly thought was...

Keywords can be hierarchical ro flat. (Typically, they seem to be called 'categories' when hierarchical. Evernote and Idea!, for example have hierarchical keywords. ndxCards has a flat list, although ...
ConnectedText versus Ndxcards
10/19/2007
The immediate recognition of common key words seems independent of the wicki approach of CT. Is that right? In principle, a program like ndxcards could have a feature like this. Or so it would seem.

For me, Connected Text is like Zoot. These are programs I am sure are very good, if based only on the users recommending these products. Connected Text has the most impressive set of testimonials (inc...

I see there's also a free version. Haven't checked the limitations.
Hi Steve,
The url is http://www.ndxcards.com/support/forum/default.asp
To get there more intuitively, choose "Suporr." Then click on the minute word "Forum." Easy to miss.
