Thinking about workflows
11/2/2009
An interesting set of questions, but perhaps less of a can of worms on this forum than it would be on many, where the (seat of the) "pantsers" rival the "outline-istas".
A workflow for me is the proc...
Evernotee: Whats Up?
10/26/2009
I think Evernote raised $2m. of re-financing in September, this on top of $4.5m already raised.

Alexander's quotation encourages me to quote two of the most hotly debated lines in English literature (particularly in regard to modern architecture). They seem to encapsulate a lot of what is being ...
I agree with most of what Tom and Steve say above. Aesthetics are quite important.
I sit in front of a screen for four or more hours a day. I want what I'm looking at to seem logical, clear and reaso...
Unknown topic

I was never aware of Grandview, Steve. But thanks to your post, I now much better understand and appreciate your enthusiasm for it.

Possibly too late, but Keith Blount's closing comment to his post in this thread on the Scrivener forum may be relevant: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6815.

Scrivener-like outliner for Windows?
9/24/2009
It isn't just clumsiness that has deterred long-form writers from using Word.
There used to be several blogs and sites offering advice on what functions to strip out of Word or leave unused before co...
Scrivener-like outliner for Windows?

Adobe Story seems a possibly more serious contender, though with a slightly different spin: collaborative writing. It appears to be mainly aimed at scriptwriters, but it has a novel mode.
To judge f...
MindManager for Mac... thoughts?
9/10/2009
Steve
Version 6 of Curio has just been released with some enhancements to the mind-map function. Not MindManager by any means, but perhaps a better investment, with index cards on the way?

Freemium Software
9/9/2009
Thanks, Neville.
An interesting piece with relevance to the Linux outliner idea. If EverNote, with all its marketing fanfare, its reputed $15.5m. of investment and $79,000 a month turnover, its (rela...
My advice is: ?Don?t do it?. Unless you have a vision of a new way doing cross-platform note-taking, and a source of significant finance.
Very sorry to be so negative and rain on your parade. From a ...
New version of Yojimbo out for Mac
9/2/2009
Ha! That will teach me to make dogmatic statements like :"Don't bother with Yojimbo. Its development has fallen behind." Seldom can such a verdict have been so quickly undermined, if not invalidated.

To deal with the (only, I think) one of your questions David didn't cover: will you need an application like Surfulator to clip material from the web? Well, no and yes...

Summer 2009 PIM roll-call
7/28/2009
My usage tracks Steve's - except that I hardly use Windows nowadays, preferring the uniformity and harmony of working on the Mac.
- I spend most time in Scrivener. Whilst I too am probably more "holi...
Microsoft Word Outlines
6/20/2009
Gary
You're probably aware of this from previous threads, and anyway it may be no help if you're limited to Windows - but Scrivener on the Mac will probably do 75 to 85 per cent or more of what you w...

TAO Outliner (finally) updated
4/28/2009
Yes, thank you for this. TAO is as you say uniquely powerful (unlike OO it has clones, for example) but to some extent unrecognised, and I think this version is slightly more refined than the previous...
iPod Touch
4/15/2009
Thanks Chris. Intriguing, and making full use of the iPod screen! To avoid having to go via Freemind it needs OPML export - like, say, its rival iBlueSky - but as with many of the iPod/iPhone apps its...
iPod Touch
4/14/2009
I want to add to Ken's comments in a recent thread about the iPod Touch as a PDA (and implicitly the iPhone as a PDA).
I received an iPod Touch as a present a couple of weeks ago, having been a long-...

You may be interested in this page, just added to the Tinderbox wiki, which discusses what Tinderbox "is":
