Jeff,
You'd been unlikely to find a definition for CRIMPing anywhere but on this forum. It's a made up acronym that stands for Compulsive-Reactive Information Manager Purchasing. i.e. It's what so ma...
Tags, Wikis, and Zoot
5/17/2011
I'm not a big fan of Tags as a primary method of organization. The first tab-oriented application I tried was Personal Knowbase (although they call them keywords). I found that my list of keywords alw...
Software for Authors
5/17/2011
Exceptionally interesting topic!
As Hugh says, different strokes for different folks. But I'll take that one step further in that I use different software solutions depending on what I am working on....
Seeing this was a shocking, but pleasant surprise. Thanks for the heads up.
If my software review deserves such kind words -- that's a big if -- it's due to all the smart people on this forum, from w...
I still have not received a reply to my inquiry to the new developer.
Frankly, I don't know of any instances where a change of ownership of software has had a positive result, no matter what good int...
Zoot XT release date announced
5/9/2011
Those of you interested in Zoot XT (that is, the long-long-long awaited Zoot 6) are probably already aware of this, but just in case you are not, you may be intriuged to know that Tom Davis has announ...
I've used their "contact us" button to send an e-mail asking what the deal is. So far no response.
Interesting. I admired IdeaMason -- bought a license -- but found it cumbersome, and not just because it was slow. Still, it's good news that they are bringing IdeaMason back. I wonder what changed th...
Update for Noteliner
5/4/2011
The latest build has another new feature, a "real-time" search box that is very handy. This was just added to build 3.

Update for Noteliner
5/2/2011
For those of you using Noteliner, you may be happy to know that Sam has posted an update. Version 3.1 adds some handy features (quoting from the website):
- Improved tag management
- Daily automatic ...
My review of Tinderbox
4/29/2011
That was a nice comment on the Tinderbox forum. Thanks for pointing it out to me, Hugh.
Not to start a very off-topic tangent, but I was wondering if my negative review of "No Country for Old Men" wo...
My review of Tinderbox

Thanks for alerting me to this, Franz. Not much I can do about it, except leave a snarky comment -- which I did.

My review of Tinderbox
4/28/2011
Thanks, Hugh and Alex, I appreciate the kind comments.
Alex, I actually didn't know that the Windows version has a release candidate. That's exciting news!
Hugh, yes, "Monsters" is a nice surprise. ...
My review of Tinderbox
4/28/2011
If you're interested in learning more about Tinderbox, I've written a fairly long review that is now posted at Mac Appstorm. See here:

As I tried to install your application, Norton AntiVirus intervened and deleted it saying it was removing a threat to my computer.

I tried to install the trial version and Norton had a fit and erased it from my computer. I guess I'll sit this one out.

NoteTab for note-taking
4/17/2011
Another plain text note-taking option is the original two-pane outliner, Treepad Lite:
http://www.treepad.com/treepadfreeware/
It's free works great... I think it is better than the paid, fancier ve...
NoteTab for note-taking
4/16/2011
You should also look at ResophNotes:
http://resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html
It has a plain text mode and syncs with SimpleNote, if that matters to you. It also will display marked up text.
I'm ...
While it is clear that the developer of StoryBox was "inspired" by Scrivener, one thing that he has done that Keith Blount (Scriv's developer) resisted, and that is making the application specifically...
Tools for the writing process
3/28/2011
It's true that we probably can't find the Holy Grail of information managers, the one that helps us gather and organize our data, think through and manage our writing process, and where we can build o...
Tools for the writing process
3/27/2011
I am in a similar situation with regard to the tools in my writing tool box. This is due, I think, to four factors:
1. I'm not a very discipline writer.
2. I fall in and out of love with various soft...

Single-pane outliners
3/17/2011
Dr. Andus,
I've always found Natara Bonsai to feel more like a task manager than an outliner, but I can see that it could function fine as an outliner as you describe it. Bonsai reminds me of another...
Single-pane outliners
3/17/2011
Here are the single-pane outliners I can think of off the top of my head --
Mac-based single-pane outliners:
- OmniOutliner
- Neo / Tao
- Circus Ponies Notebook
- Aquaminds Notetaker
- Opal (nice ap...
Noteliner 3.0 now available
3/16/2011
It's interesting to compare Noteliner with the new Windows version of Noteshare. Actually, there is no comparison. Noteliner is far and away the better application (excepting the collaboration feature...
