Writng-Keeping versions straight
2/11/2015
Good morning:
I am only adding to this thread (It's an old one!) because I have settled on an approach to versioning, at least for the short term. I have setup a folder on Box(My University provides ...
A question about Papers v3.X
1/26/2015
As a CRIMPer, one of the things that I do is look at programs for managing pdf collections. I have tried a few, but settled on Papers from Mekentosj. (http://papersapp.com/)
I started out with Papers...
Curio 30% off till December 28th
12/26/2014
Folks:
I have looked at Curio several times, but have always passed it by. It looks pretty interesting, but because of the wide range of things that it does, I have always felt overwhelmed at the pro...
Aquaminds Notetaker
12/5/2014
Good morning:
In one of my CRIMPing forays a while back I downloaded Aquaminds Notetaker. I used it for a while, but then kind of left it alone for a while. This morning I decided to go back and give...
This is interesting. They are not the first to do this. Or something like this. One of the things about Papers from Mekentosj is that it will try to match the metadata for the PDF you have imported, ...
Nisus Writer
12/2/2014
Thanks Hugh and Franz. I will check over at the literature and latte site. It never occurred to me to check for info on Nisus in the Scrivener forums. Also thanks for the info on Joe Kissell's book. I...
Nisus Writer
12/2/2014
Good morning:
In an effort to find software with which to write that is not quite as lumbering as Microsoft Word, I downloaded and bought Nisus Writer Pro. I like it. It has a cleaner interface than ...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"
12/1/2014
An interesting discussion in many respects.
The University at which I work provides me with 50 gig of Box space. I also have 25 gig of space of my own on Box, 25 gig on Onedrive, and 15 gig on Copy ...
Nimbus Notes
11/24/2014
A couple of things:
First, I have been using Onenote for some time-first on a PC running XP. I was running Onenote 2010 at that point at the end, but I had started with Onenote 2003. I really liked...
Good morning:
I apologize for the flurry of posts today. I decided to work from home rather than go into the lab today. I made the decision on the way to work, and I stopped off at one of the local c...
liquidtext in beta
10/29/2014
Good morning:
Sometime ago(actually way back in 2011) Dr Andus posted about liquidtext, an app for the iPad that allowed you to take notes on files on the iPad by selecting text, copying, and doing a...
OT-Replacement for Papers from Mekentosj
10/29/2014
Good morning:
I realize that this is off-topic in that it is not about outliners or general purpose information managers, but this group has a wide experience, and I can't really imagine any other pla...
OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption
9/24/2014
Very interesting topic. As I said earlier in another thread, I don't keep anything up in the cloud that I need to keep secure. Not so much for lack of confidence in the security of any given cloud pr...
Cloud Commander
9/22/2014
Reply from the support people at Cloud Commander:
All connections to the cloud services use HTTPS (SSL). Non-cloud services like FTP are either unencrypted or use their own encryption (like SFTP and ...
Cloud Commander
9/22/2014
Good question about the encryption. Since I don't store any sensitive material in the cloud, it has been of less interest to me. I mostly use cloud storage for transfers of material that are already p...
Cloud Commander
9/19/2014
Good morning:
It isn't an outliner, nor is it a program for knowledge management, but I wanted to tell the group about a new program that I have been using for the last week or so. It is called Cloud...
Collecting web pages 2.0
9/3/2014
I am also a user of Devonthink Pro Office. It does a great job of grabbing web pages and storing them. It also has a variety of different ways that you can slice and dice them in order to organize the...
Good morning everyone: Not strictly an outliner question, but I am wondering if anyone in this group has found a way to incorporate IFTT into their workflow. Most of what I do is done locally, on my o...

Thanks for the info. As I said, I love Notesuite other than the fact that I couldn't figure out how to do the organization. Now I am going to give this a try.
Jim.

I've been using a package called Intego Mac Security for a while. Actually I think I have the Pro version. The software is here: http://www.intego.com/ It has been working well for me. When I first go...

Notesuite does retain the URL for the site you have clipped. It is at the bottom of the note.
The one thing that I haven't figured out is how to organize all of the stuff that is in there. Right now ...

Hugh:
On the task management front, things are currently a moving target. As you may remember, a while back I solicited input from the group as to how they plan and manage things. I am currently usin...

Nice to see that someone else has moved over to the Dark Side. I'm in an all Windows lab and it gets kind of lonely here.
On the writing front-I have tried several different pieces of software(I am ...
Folks:
I knew that I would get some good discussion from the members of this group. Thank you all.
Dr. Andrus: Thanks for the Google Calendar suggestion. We already have several different lab calen...
