Sightly OT: e-readers
1/25/2011
Dan,
I would never buy any product that locks me into one supplier, so that's an Apple or Amazon product out for a start!
I use two e-Readers:
- Sony Reader PRS 350 which is:
-- lightweight
-- very...
StratoVista - price reduction
12/16/2010
I've just received an e-mail from Gen-9 stating that their StratoVista software is reduced in price by 60% to USD 19.95. StratoVista has been discussed here, so I thought some readers might be intere...
Goalscape @ BitsDuJour on Friday
10/27/2010
Yes, and interesting discussion, with a definite amount of obsessing about the price. But, as Richard points out, it's under active development and it's a perpetual license; and my own experience is ...

What I like up to now about Goalscape is the support. I had full and almost immediate responses to my questions - on a Sunday evening. That's service!

Ariadne on the Move
3/23/2010
You're right, Stephen - Ariadne can only use one database (in two files called ariadne.ard and ariadne.dsa) and the "Save as" option creates a .tad (transferable Ariadne file) file to be used to tran...
Ariadne on the Move
3/23/2010
Hello Jon,
One can attach files (or, rather, link to them) using the "Shell Shortcut" feature, or drag and drop. Also, one can import and export table objects to CSV, which you don't see in the mai...
Thanks for all the input up to now.
MyInfo - I downloaded the trial and had another look. It seems very intuitive and easy to use, but it strikes me as being more of an information manager than a (s...
File versioning
2/16/2010
I've just come across i-Memorize (http://www.i-memorize.com/) which you might find useful. It seems to be new - I haven't seen it mentioned before on this forum.
It's a horrible website, and to down...
Hmmm, not the storm I had expected - we must all be becoming more placid in our dotage!
@Alexander - Unlike you I consider the three programs very similar. They're all built on underlying SQL-based ...
OK, I know I'm going to open up a whole can of worms, so let me just throw this out and see what happens.
I have given up my long search for the perfect knowledge management program, and I've been gr...
Public Beta phase begins for Zoot 6.0
1/14/2010
Dan, when the web page is active, left click the Zooter and choose Web. Works for me (about the only thing I have managed up to now ....)

Personal task manager with graphic feedback
12/10/2009
Thanks Frank. I can do better than describing the type of graph I require, I can show you - look back at the 16th post in this thread - there are links to some screen dumps.
I don't want to bore e...
Shameless plugs welcome as far as I'm concerned, Mitchel! I'm still looking at Worktime Studio - I see what you're trying to do and I hope you continue development as its basis looks interesting.
Go...
Personal task manager with graphic feedback
11/18/2009
Ah, thanks Alexander. This is where our working methods differ - I never try (or want to have to) define times for tasks myself in a program. I tend to work on tasks according to how I feel (unless ...

Personal task manager with graphic feedback
11/17/2009
Thanks Arnold. I've tried LifeBalance before, and tried it again now, but I find the interface very counter intuitive, and it doesn't give the type of graphic feedback I'm looking for. Also, it doe...

Personal task manager with graphic feedback
11/15/2009
Thanks Pierre Paul, I can see that would work for a lot of people, and any feedback from the software is always a plus. I’m actually looking for something more graphic which doesn’t rely ...
Personal task manager with graphic feedback

Thanks Steve and Dan.
Achieve Planner doesn't do it for me - it doesn't give me the type of feedback I'm looking for.
Vueminder also doesn't give me the graphic feedback, and this is because of th...
Personal task manager with graphic feedback
11/10/2009
Thanks Pierre Paul en Alexander.
I'm in the very luxurious position of defining my own project and tasks, my own workload and my own target dates. When I do have to complete a task with a defined du...
Thanks Dan. I should have mentioned that I wanted to avoid Outlook plug ins, simply because I find Outlook such a badly designed task manager (and I've stopped using it as a calendar too - I'm back t...
Thanks to those who responded on this topic - I wasn't hopeful.
Toodledo is online, so falls at the first hurdle; and TimeTo I've tried before - it's really buggy, as was said, and it doesn’t a...
I'm looking for a personal task manager that gives a graphical feedback of time planned and time available after planning in tasks.
I currently use Zoot for personal task management, and it has all I...
UltraRecall v4 update worth it?
8/24/2009
I have no wish to enter a discussion about UR (which I stopped using some time ago), Jan or the democracy on forums, but I do feel the need to add a little balance to the comments about Zoot.

Like you, I do not use The Brain for any outlining or information management . For me the great advantage of The Brain is its ability to produce complete web sites from my information. I can cut and ...
