PIM for Ipod Touch?
5/31/2011
Greetings:
My old Ipod was stolen out of my car, and I needed to buy a new one.(Well, not really needed, but you know what I mean.) Since I was buying a new Ipod, I decided to buy an Ipod Touch. That...
I'm afraid that I am terribly backward when it comes to writing papers. I write longhand for a first draft. When there is a point of information that I need a reference for, I put (REF) in the text. M...

It has been some time since I started this thread, and I have not taken the leap into the tablet world. However, I do have one update. The company for which I work is beginning to institute an "open s...
Windows Live questions
10/22/2010
Good evening:
I can't remember seeing anything about Windows live posted here. Is anyone using it? I note that there is a version of Onenote in there. It is an intriguing thing to think that I might ...
After many years of just thinking nervously about it, I have decided to try my hand at doing some writing. I mean, more than just posting to boards like this and writing emails and memos at work.
Ye...
A second big thank you. I have been waiting for the next installment. I keep thinking that Tinderbox will be useful, but the learning curve is quite daunting. Your postings help.

Ipad

To answer quant; no I have no interest in browsing on the Ipad. I use a browser on my PC at work to do searches through Pubmed because that is where I have access to most of the journals that I read. ...

Greetings folks:
Not exactly part of the mainstream discussions, but I am curious if anyone out there has bought an Ipad, and managed to integrate it into their information management workflow? I find...
So, what do you folks do?

New PIM on the block.
3/20/2010
Ah yes, OmeaPro. I loved that program. It ran slowly on my laptop, but I could store everything in there and organize it easily as well. Unfortunately, I never really used it in a "production" mode. I...
Zoot 6

Thanks Steve. I realize that the quirkiness is not likely to leave the software. My main issue was whether you could get information in to the program in something other than plain text form. Sounds ...
Zoot 6
1/17/2010
Folks:
I have been a zooter off and on over the years. I found it a frustating experience, because it was very close to what I needed/wanted in an information manager. Tom Davis built an intriguing p...
I'm surprised that no one mentioned Zoot. I have mostly moved over to the Mac, and am using Devonthink and Evernote there, but Zoot on the PC is powerful, and if it doesn't fit the definition of geeky...
Kevin:
I am interested in your add-in, but I have a couple of questions. First, does it work with Outlook 2003? The screenshots all look like Outlook 2007. Second, can it be used with Clearcontext? I...
I have been using Clearcontext for some time now, and I can heartily recommend it. I used to file my emails on a month by month basis, but since getting Clearcontext, I have been using the ability to ...
PIM with visualization
7/17/2009
Does anyone out there use Tinderbox routinely? I have been intrigued by it for years but have not been able to figure out how to use it. I tried it out about 5 years ago, and the learning curve was s...
I found a reference to this software out on the network somewhere. It is an open source project at Sourforge: http://scan.sourceforge.net/
It looks quite interesting. It is cross-platform, though app...
Very interesting book
5/31/2009
Folks:
I still struggle for the perfect organizational system. Haven't found it yet. However, through the struggle, I tend to find interesting information nonetheless. I happened on a book called "Be...
What's up wth Zoot these days?
4/6/2009
I used to be an active zooter, but dropped the program due to its limitations-lack of graphics support, limitations in number of items/folders.
I know that it has been in active development. What is ...
Some time ago, I posted on my search for a good PDF reference manager for organizing scientific literature. There used to be little in the way of software for this task, but now there seems to be a pl...
Task management help.
1/6/2009
I knew this was a good place to raise the questions, both because of the helpfulness of everyone here, and also because I figured that many of you had struggled with the same issues and found some sol...

Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is the new year, and while I am not one to make New Year?s resolutions, this seems like as good a time as any to try to turn over a new leaf.
My problem, like many of us, i...
Looks really cool. I took a look at the little show that they have, and I think that if it does all of the stuff that it says it will, and without s major breakdown in throughput, it could be very nic...

Excellent question. Unfortunately, there is nothing that is a direct equivalent on the PC side. The closest that I have seen is Endnote. With Endnote, you can search the different public sites like Pu...

A friend of mine forwarded Ms. Judson's article a while ago. As a scientist in an industrial setting, I have many of the same issues as Ms. Judson, and more so. Not only do I need to keep track of the...
