bullet journal
5/24/2014
Good advice, Steve. I'll take a second look at it.
As part of the changing process I noted in this threat I took a second look at Workflowy, which I'll detail in that thread.
Cheers,

bullet journal
5/23/2014
Jim, thanks for that.
Bullet Journal is an elegant system, and is well suited for the Leuchtterm1997 pocket notebook that's always in, uh...my pocket. Nonetheless I've not yet tried it, believing, pe...

Thanks.

Ariadne 6.1
3/19/2014
I checked the Ariadne site now, and saw the latest release. I hadn't realized that was the one being talked about here.
A couple of observations, and please forgive me if I sound unduely negative:

Correlate is back
3/19/2014
@Dominik
After your last post, I gave Correlate another go, but wasn't impressed. And the aesthetics of the program leave much to be desired.
I've also played around with some of the programs which ...
Ariadne 6.1
3/19/2014
I used to be a great fan of Ariadne when Mike was developing it. The program was lean and fast, and was one of the first to offer a comment capability with each note in the outline. Comment and notes ...
Correlate is back

Greetings Dominik!
I hope all is well with you.
I've just taken a quick look at Correlate. I appreciate the concept. I think it is in some ways similar to Smart Outline or Planz (https://planz.codep...
No lock-in - criteria
3/11/2014
Maties, I like how you applied your criteria. It fits for you and, in the final analysis for a matter such as this one, you are the only person who counts.
I have two questions.
The first is with re...
No lock-in - criteria
3/11/2014
Zotero comes to mind as does Mendeley.
A favourite program of mind is Notezilla, a sticky note app. It allows for categorizing notes, having separate memo boards for note devotes to specific topics, ...
No lock-in - criteria
3/11/2014
Your criteria are clear, but you then list various programs.
But it is far from clear what you want software for.
If you are looking for general note taking software that is one thing.
If you want ...
Zettelkasten Software
2/19/2014
Thanks so much for Synapsen link. I had not seen the program before, and eagerly downloaded it. Unfortunately I won't have a chance to do anything with it for a few days.
I also downloaded the PDF ma...
Zettelkasten Software
2/17/2014
I have downloaded Zettelkastenfrom http://zettelkasten.danielluedecke.de/
The program is simple - but not simplistic, and it looks quite elegant. I can see how it would emulate the analogue zettelkas...
little red hen needs help
2/6/2014
I happened to use Notezilla this morning, and thought of your requirements for a simple, unobtrusive program for getting things down. As a result I am mentioning Notezilla again. Please consider looki...
little red hen needs help

Hey Andy, when I want to get something down on the computer without anything getting in the way I use Notezilla - a sticky note program which automatically names and saves entries without any fuss, ye...
Luedecke's Zettlekaten
1/26/2014
Thanks Doctor Andus for the reference to Christian's blog. I'm familiar with the history of Zettelkasten from reading Dr. Kuhn's blog. The approach appeals to me, even to the point of doing it the old...
There is a name problem with WizNote from China.
WizNotes is a trade marked software for student note taking.

The cautionary tale of iA Writer Pro
12/30/2013
Steve, I think you've touched on a real problem with regard to apps and the dumbed down aspect many of them reflect.
I've seen many dumbed down or plain dumb apps for Android. Similarly with the weir...
Freemind Version 1.0 Release
12/30/2013
This may be old news, but Freemind hit the version 1.0.0 milestone 19 October 2013. I discovered this yesterday, having been discouraged at reports Freemind was no longer being developed. Here is an e...
Sticky notes for Windows - Notezilla
11/20/2013
I have used Notezilla off and on over the years. During the time I'm familiar with it the developer has added new features and enhanced functioning. Making a broadside statement about what one would o...
Sticky notes for Windows - Notezilla
11/15/2013
Gautam, I appreciate seeing your post here.
Coincidentally, I purchased Notezilla, version 8, within the last few weeks. I think the program has evolved well, and I certainly enjoy using it.
Thank ...
I also wondered about being so dependent on the web. I think the resolution is with the use of the Google ecosystem. Anything in Google Drive can live on your computer if you have downloaded the Googl...
Evernote 5 is here
10/11/2013
Phil Libin's story is interesting. He was losing his shirt on EN, and only an 11th hour investor saved the day, keeping the product alive.
I have a lot of respect for what has been accomplished in te...
Multiple open windows is indeed a beneficial feature for researchers and writers.
EN has this feature, as does:
* WhizFolders
* MyBase
* MyInfo (tho you can only write in the window open in the edit ...
askSam vs. Zoot? and vs. others
10/10/2013
I'd point out that InfoSelect, in its present form, appears to be a dying program. The email component was one of the most eccentric and awkward email client I have ever seen. Parts of the program nev...
Evernote 5 is here
10/10/2013
I have about 8,000 items in Evernote. Essentially it is a tag tree, with a superficial approach to using notebooks to create some of the relevant structure you might otherwise have with folders.
As I...
