Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/10/2015
Quiver for Mac (the "Programmer's Notebook") has a new upgrade to v2.1 with a long list of new and enhanced features. Many of these are navigation / keyboard aids. One particular I like is "When exp...
Updated to Yosemite
2/9/2015
Apple's track record with cloud services is spotty, so I avoid iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo LIbrary. Yosemite tosses frequent warnings about being unable to connect to iCloud Drive -- and the subfo...
Alternote (beta for Mac)

"Alternote is designed to be the most convenient and natural way to make notes, collect information, write down your ideas, feelings and memories."
It is a plainer-looking UI fronting on Evernote. I...
OT: how in the world do people ever discover fix-it recipes like this -- me, I'd just toss the machine ;-)

I'm not a fan of 10.10 (the garish icon colors and ugly UI changes, mainly) but FWIW, 10.10.2 has been stable without any obvious OS issues. Only a few things died (PTH Pasteboard, for example) but ...
Another announcement today was Ulysses 2 for OS X. The product that today is Ulysses III v1.2 will become Ulysses 2.0 and drop the "III". It "embraces" the Yosemite design concepts. (Ugh.) Uly...

It was just an ironic comment on the 1 km claim

Aibase

That's funny. A document 1 km on a side (let's say, a square km) would be about 12 petabytes of data.
OutlineEdit 1.3 & 5 free licences
2/4/2015
Robin -- the update is very nice. Thanks for posting this.
I'm curious what the use case is for auto-update of exported PDF and / or OPML. It seems to work very well -- from a bit of limited testin...
SmartDown for Mac

Bill, with two endorsements from you in one day -- Outlinely and SmartDown -- I'm going to have to CRIMP all night ;-)

liquidtext in beta

Shouldn't have been quick to say web imports are "no ads" -- it's more the case that the imports are "sometimes no ads".
liquidtext in beta
1/29/2015
My application came up on the beta list today, so I've been trying out LiquidText. Very impressive.
I very much like the abiltiy to send a web page from Safari to LiquidText using the Safari exten...

Yes, but TAO has elan :-)
Fast 3D modelling
1/29/2015
Thanks for the tip.
The interface is a bit disorienting -- though that might be the point of it. Over here, with Safari on a Mac, the site quickly consumed a lot of CPU resources. I haven't diagnos...

OK. Interesting approach. Though, I didn't suggest Berlin is the gospel, he's just yet another guy ...

There are plenty of solutions for capturing lots of notes. The tricky part is finding relationships among those notes. On the one hand, techniques like tagging can help -- especially with those note...

I don't read the Hello, Peek and Blackberry announcements on the blog as anything more than ordinary culling of little-used features, combining older features with new products, and eliminating suppor...
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/22/2015
Thanks Steve. I've read that new how-to from Eastgate. It is very interesting and helpful. Because it is a detailed step-wise walk-through for creating a complicated document, it is worth spending ...
Fundamental shifts of position

If I could delete my opinions I would. This forum doesn't support that. So, I'll just shutup.
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/20/2015
Maybe a small industry?
Tinderbox is sui generis -- there's not much out there that supports unconstrained making of metadata for each note. The only thing close in OS X computerland I can think o...
