Fundamental shifts of position
1/17/2015
Having now had some time to spend working with Keep Everything, I don't think I would use it. The markdown is nice and crisp; the style options adequate. Converting web pages to "articles" (the in-...

LOL - my first laptop had a black-and-white screen and 20 MB (yes, MB) of disk space. I spent half my time scraping bits off it, defragging (who does that anymore?), and putting stuff on floppies. ...

Never one to pass up a good CRIMP, I've downloaded Keep Everything (lite) to check it over this weekend.
I guess I have a different idea of "Everything" -- web pages, tweets, etc., are very little o...

I wonder what "safe" means? The home page blurb refers to "Make safe your data with one of the available encryption algorithms. You can save your data also without cryptography, if you plan to share ...
Sublime Text is a plain text environment. On OS X, if you have Marked 2 -- a tool for rendering and exporting markdown documents -- then you can install the Marked Bonus Pack. Among other things, th...
The beauty of Sublime Text (2 and 3) is the enormous number of customization packages available for it. First, install Package Control

And there's also Dragon Dictate for iOS
I use Dictate + Connect on my iPhone -- there's also an Android version.

Over here, I dictate a note and it is automatically uploaded to Dropbox as a .wav. Later, on ...
That's inappropriate -- I believe this forum isn't a place for trolling. I enjoy Stephen Z's blog and have learned many useful things over the years, including his post above.

That's an interesting market.
The container feature reminds me of Tinderbox and Vue -- and the graphical bits, Curio.

As a solution to the iPad keyboard problem I've been gaining proficiency with Nuance's Swype keyboard. iOS 8 supports custom keyboards, and Swype has been ported to iOS -- many smartphones have suppo...

Stephen Z's reviews are excellent -- and influenced my own adoption of Curio.
As mentioned -- the basics of Curio are straightforward. The interface metaphor is similar to OneNote, so if you have ex...

I agree with Stephen Zeoli's overall assessment -- I believe that on desktops in 2014 not much is new from a CRIMPing perspective.
On OS X, in 2015 I will be looking forward to a possible new versi...

Curio should be on the top 5 short list of software for any Mac user.
Elephant Notetaker

Thank you for mentioning this. At your suggestion, I tried it. It is indeed minimalistic -- which can be a good thing. These days I am thinking that "cross-platform" needs to include iOS and Andr...
Thank you for your thoughts, Robin. It's always helpful to hear from someone who has been there/done that.
Aquaminds Notetaker

I was looking into this myself a couple of months ago. I used NoteTaker quite a bit for a few years, then switched to Circus Ponies NoteBook -- at the time NoteBook seemed more functional and they we...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"
12/3/2014
I've experimented with the Evernote chat feature (chatting with myself in the guise of different email address). I don't get it. It's not "collaborative" -- you send someone a link to a document wit...
Notebooks public beta available

There is also Notebooks Lite for iPad -- which is a free, limited version of Notebooks 7 for iPad. It limits the number of notebooks and number of notes and is intended for trialing the software.

We also use Lync, which is a private IM service for people on the same network, and Chatter which is a private twitter-like service for longer messages and document sharing.

The classic collaborative environment is what we're doing right here -- a threaded forum. A lot of the new collaborative thingies are riffs on that theme.
As Ken mentioned -- my work involves a lot ...

I use CrashPlan for full-disk backup (minus the OS) and it works well. At least, I think it works well. I've never had to recover an entire disk with it, but I have recovered folders and files from ...

I have a lot of apps for content creation on my iPad -- apps that sync via a cloud service (the Dropboxes of this world) or proprietary (the Evernotes) -- but I can't think of anything that syncs in t...
That's an interesting view -- I would never have had that impression. I live in both the Mac and Windows worlds and I buy lots of software. The only "software begun on Windows" that migrated to Mac...
