Where are the exciting developments? 1/22/2009

Yes, Connected Text is a fine program, but development on it hasn't exactly progressed at a rapid pace in the past two years. The new Evernote is interesting, but in some ways a step back from what it...

Where are the exciting developments? 1/21/2009

Before I catch hell from Pierre, let me qualify my previous posting -- Where are all the exciting developments besides IQ? Steve Z.

Where are the exciting developments? 1/21/2009

Okay, is it just my misperception or is the field of PIM/Outliners gradually shrinking? It seems that many of the programs that we used to talk about with great enthusiasm -- UltraRecall, InfoHandler...

Evernote Development 1/19/2009

All good points, Daly. I think the lesson in all this is that one should never put out money for an application because of its promise, but only for what it does now. That is, assume that it will nev...

Intriguing new task-management software 1/14/2009

I've taken a look at The Hit List, as well. It is certainly an elegant piece of software that "feels" good to use. However, it seems to me to be grossly over-priced, at least with its current feature ...

XMind Pro at BdJ tomorrow 1/5/2009

I support Alexander's enthusiasm for XMind; however, it should be noted that the new Pro version is a subscription. The deal at BdJ is basically getting a three-year subscription for the price of one ...

Task management help. 1/5/2009

Jim, I too have a Mac at home and a PC at work, so I've looked at some cross-platform solutions. One that seems elegant and simple is to use TaskPaper on the Mac: http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/produ...

Wiki for Fiction Writing 1/3/2009

I have a license for both Connected Text and Voodoo Pad, but as of yet do not use either one extensively. I like the idea of a personal wiki, but have yet to really commit any serious work to them. Ho...

How Zoot is helping me with a big project 12/31/2008

I have been tasked with a project for my office, for which I have leaned heavily on Zoot. I think it exemplifies how a good PIM can make life easier -- and highlights some of Zoot's unique strengths. ...

cloud computing 12/29/2008

I have been using Drop Box for the past few months. I use it mostly to keep specific documents synced to the three computers I use -- one being a MacBook, and the other two desktop PCs. So far it has ...

The Journal -- on sale at BdJ next week 12/29/2008

Bits du Jour will be featuring The Journal next Monday, January 5, for $19.95 US -- half price. Steve Z.

Wishing you Merry Christmas... 12/25/2008

Thanks, Alexander. You have a wonderful holiday too. And best to all CRIMPers everywhere! Steve Z. Vermont, USA

Another program like KeyNote 12/21/2008

I have not tried Rightnote, but I am very familiar with The Journal and MyInfo -- two applications I admire. The problem with TRichedit is that it does not have standard selection modes in its editor....

Wiki for Fiction Writing 12/12/2008

JohnK, I know what you mean about NoteTab. There is something very enticing about its simple, plain-text interface. I often use NT for writing... usually after I've struggled to get something coheren...

Wiki for Fiction Writing 12/9/2008

Michal, One application you didn't mention as a Windows version of Scrivener is WhizFolders. It is worth taking a look at if you haven't. It has significantly more word processing functions than Wiki...

Netbooks - Hardware CRIMP? 12/5/2008

I had my own hardware CRIMP last spring when I bought a MacBook, and I'm glad I did. While the applications themselves are not really any more sophisticated that Windows applications (with a couple of...

PIM , Document / Knowledge Management Software Recommendations 12/1/2008

I would suggest that you look into MyInfo. The feature list seems to meet your needs, including global search and web capture (a new feature, which I have not yet tried): http://www.milenix.com/myinf...
