OneNote for Mac on the horizon...
3/12/2014
That is certainly good news for us Mac users. Thanks for the link!
Steve Z.
I had an writing professor in college who taught us this lesson:
It's never the reader's fault if they don't understand you. It is the job of the author to write in such a way that the meaning of hi...
Looks interesting. Is there any reason you've come across to choose SilverNote over OneNote (other than price)?
Steve Z.
TheBrain users may be interested in the new video about the iOS version:

I don't think it is publicly available yet, but it must b...

Here's an interview with Keith Blount from Mac Appstorm:

I don't know how much he talks about the issues you...
I just heard from the developer that they are changing the name in the next version to Taskmator. Not as catchy, but there was probably a conflict with the other "Tasque" apps you mentioned, Bill.
St...
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Tasque for iOS is clearly a revised version of TaskPaper, which Hog Bay made open source. I wonder what the new developer of Tasque has in store for t...
I got a response regarding my inquiry about a Mac version (I didn't think to ask about a PC version):
Yes it is in the process. We will update you once we launch the Mac app. But currently we are giv...
I got a reply (that was pretty quick) from the developer re the Dropbox issue:
Thank you for contacting us and extremely sorry for the dropbox issue.
Currently this is an issue in 1.0 version of Ta...
One small glitch so far with Tasque. When I tried to set up Dropbox sync I got an error message indicating Tasque is still in "development mode." I sent an e-mail to the developer for clarification vi...
Never mind. I figured it out for myself (I can do that sometimes.)
I guess this developer took the open source code and massaged it into his own app. Looks good, and for $2.99 (it's an iOS app BTW) w...
Bill,
Is this for iOS? Thanks!
Steve Z.

That's an ambitious goal. One I have fantasized about from time to time, but I definitely do not have the patience for it. However, if you want inspiration, just look at Keith Blount, who was basicall...
Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
1/30/2014
While the subject of personal wikis is at the forefront, I just thought I'd point out that TiddlyWiki has a fresh new version, which appears to have many more features. I haven't tried it, so this is ...
Hog Bay pulls back its iOS applications
1/23/2014
I wasn't necessarily criticizing Hog Bay/Jesse Grosjean as much as I was just offering a "buyer beware" warning. It's already been demonstrated that if you buy a Hog Bay application, you may find your...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/21/2014
PIMFan,
I use TheBrain both as a "working now" and an "archival" tool, though I'd say my use weighs more heavily on the former. TheBrain isn't necessarily my go to information storage system.
I've w...
An interesting aspect of how Jerry uses TheBrain is that he rarely adds any content to his thoughts. They frequently have URL attachments, but no files or notes or meta data in the form of tags or tho...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I noted in the Jerry Michalski presentation that he said that brains can be stored and carried from computer to computer on a fob, which I assume is his term for a thumb drive. I don't know what autho...
Thanks, PIMFan. Very interesting.
Jerry mis-stated that there is no semantic meaning in the plex, as the area where the thoughts reside is called. In fact it has a definite geography. At the center ...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I don't know anything about Chronosync or rsync, so can't comment on that. As to an external hard drive, I guess that could work. You will need to be sure to move or copy any external files you use in...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I don't think there is a practical way to do this. With TheBrain you can create "Brain Zips," which is a nice packaged file of your "brain." You can then read that into your other Brain, which occurs ...
BrainstormSW updates or alternatives
1/18/2014
That's a tall order. I think the closest thing to Brainstorm that I can think of is actually Ginko. Just think of it as Brainstorm where you can see the various sub-levels at the same time. Or maybe n...
Notebooks public beta available
1/18/2014
I've installed it on my Windows machine at work a couple of times, but it has been so un-notable that I can't even tell you anything about it except that it didn't get me to use it. I think it is stil...
OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
1/16/2014
After installing version 4 on my MacBook Pro, I was able to open the list of new feature "highlights":
Zooming — Text can now be magnified on screen without changing your print layout.

OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
1/15/2014
I bought a copy of OO3 almost six years ago, so it has been a while since they've had a major upgrade to the venerable Mac outliner, but OmniGroup today finally announced the availability of version 4...
