Crimping in the 80s and 90s
2/1/2012
Mention of Lotus Organizer reminds me that I bought it soon after it was launched by a company called, I think, Threadz. It seemed a better product then before Lotus bought it, or at least it stood ou...

Lotus Notes and Lotus Agenda.
I don't mourn the passing of my usage of Lotus Notes (or at least the way I was required to use it by my employer - I always had the feeling that if I could get my head ...
I too concur with Alexander and Daly about written notes. Early in my journalism days, I learnt a form of shorthand called Teeline - not as fast as Pitman's potentially could be, but I think I reached...
Thanks - the review is helpful. It's a pity the current offer doesn't extend to the UK.
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth
11/14/2011
I believe that flow is a useful concept. Kitchen timers can be useful! The various Pomodoro applications have been mentioned. For Mac users there are also Concentrate and Vitamin R among others. A boo...
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth
11/11/2011
That's interesting, but I'm not entirely persuaded. I'm involved in education, and I take an interest in those who in the UK are sometimes called the "G and T's" (no, not gins and tonics, but gifted a...
Hi Mitchell,
Have you raised the citations issue on the Scrivener for Windows forum? In my experience, the support there is very good by most standards.
I should say straight away that I have no exp...
Document Management Software Question
11/7/2011
A semi-question about Evernote's OCR: does it actually give you a text version of, say, your PDF? Or does it simply enable searching in the cloud? Obviously the latter is useful, if you stick with Ev...
Document Management Software Question
11/7/2011
A side-note on scanners: I have a Fujitsu Scansnap 500 which when I transferred to the Mac became - ahem! - a Scansnap 500M. I cannot praise it highly enough, and it's quite hard to find substantive ...
Jumsoft Process
10/31/2011
I too have tried Process, although I didn't buy a licence in the end. As Steve says, it's trying to be a task manager, rather than an outliner, although it could be used as such. It appears to be unus...

Evernote + Scrivener to write a book?
10/13/2011
Here are one and a half suggestions.
A half suggestion: my experience is with Scrivener for the Mac, which has a very useful tutorial that takes an hour or so to absorb. After that, the manual, which...
Storybook 3.0 review

Interesting. Thanks for this, Pavi.

I stopped using the Master Document feature around the time of Word 2003 also. In my case I abandoned it because it seemed to be the cause of frequent crashes, corrupted files and lost work. This wasn...
Flying Logic V2

Version 1 is good for plotting out fiction. I wouldn't want to try to use Idea processor for that.
Mori gets an update
9/17/2011
Hi Jim,
I don't think that Mori is related to NoteTaker. I think NoteTaker's "twin" is Circus Ponies' Notebook. Mori was developed by Jesse Grosjean of Hog Bay Software, who sold it on three or four ...

Windows or Mac? For the Mac, there are Together, Eaglefiler and DevonThink. I've recently started to use DevonThink Pro Office intensively. It's not perfect, but it's still pretty good in all the key ...
About this particular outliner
8/14/2011
So do I. Until Steve wrote his review of Tinderbox, Ted's was the definitive article and reference. Atpm has been the lesser for his absence.
I use Scrivener and DevonThink Pro Office every day - often every hour - and as far as I'm concerned they're the best at what they do. I have a love/hate relationship with Tinderbox. I like and use th...

Writng-Keeping versions straight
7/8/2011
I start each file name with a text-expanded today?s date, triggered by a shortcut ? I use ?td?. The date is set up to be in reversed form e.g. 2011-07-08. That makes it generally possible to see at a ...
Qiqqa and Devonthink
6/17/2011
Qiqqa sounds interesting. "Concordance-matching", as I believe it's called, is a particularly useful attribute when you have large amounts of information to search, classify or tag.
Besides concordan...
PIM for Ipod Touch?
5/31/2011
As a post-postscript (!!), to complete PIM suite, I continue to use the Mac's built-in Address Book and the iPod's Contacts. They sync with so many other Mac applications and are reasonably good and f...
PIM for Ipod Touch?

Just as a postscript, I should have added that:
- for email I continue to use Apple Mail, with a small plug-in called MailHub to expedite the task of getting my inbox cleared: http://www.hungerfordro...
