Curio 9 Released
6/25/2014
Thank you, Mark and Steve.
I read George's posting and was a bit more confused than before. I wrote there that "... the thing I find confusing, even more so after George's helpful note, is that Pinb...
Curio 9 Released
6/24/2014
Two features of Curio 9 whose significance I am not grasping are the "album collection" and the "pinboard collection". First off, they seem to be the same thing with slight differences: floating park...
Curio 9 Released
6/24/2014
Mark, thank you for the notice -- and the loss of sleep! -- I stayed up many hours too late just to play with the new version of Curio ;-)
I have used Curio since its first release, and I continue t...
Freeplane - new release
6/13/2014
I'm a little confused by release numbers. I have Freeplane 1.2.23 installed (OS X). "Check updates" tells me that version 1.3.11 is now available. I'll go to that.
Ulysses III (Mac) provides a "continuous display" mode where the contents of multiple files are displayed in a single editing pane. Files can be external (Markdown or text), or internal. For example...
MagicalPad for OS X is available
5/28/2014
MagicalPad for OS X is available now on the Mac App Store. The author discounted the software 30% "for a limited time". The discounted price is $39.99, which seems steep. I've used MagicalPad on iO...

Daly, did you mean "Leuchtturm 1917"?
TheBrain fixes Freemind import
5/24/2014
TheBrain 8.0.1.1 was release a couple days ago. Minor fixes -- the most important for me was fixing Freemind (.mm) document imports. This seems to have been broken for quite a while. It's an import...
I like Stephen Zeoli's examples because they fit into a type of planning that I've been experimenting with - "if-then" planning -- which "studies show" is more successful than standard project or task...
OT: Other MacBook users...
5/18/2014
Ugh, last year all four drives in my MacPro died within a few days. Since they were all born at the same time it was interesting that their lives we so closely related. If you have to replace a dri...

"I did have the problem with 10.8" should be "I did NOT have the problem with 10.8"

I've had Mavericks on my MacBook Air (mid-2012 13") since the first commercial release, and am currently at 10.9.3. The machine has 8 GB memory and a 500 GB SSD. (Since I knew I would use this machi...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/18/2014
Of the dozens of machines I've owned, I now have the two best computers I've ever owned -- in one box:
My MacBook Air 2012 with a 500GB SSD. This one is running Windows 8.1 under Parallels.
Perhaps the issue isn't that you are now working in a less structured environment -- but just that the environment is different and you haven't learned all the cues yet? When I transitioned from 25 y...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/17/2014
Steve Zeoli recently posted his thoughts on using Ulysses III for spark notes (http://welcometosherwood.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/further-ruminations-on-the-spark-file/).
I have Ulysses in the Dock an...
New iThoughts for iPad for $1.99
5/16/2014
The new iThoughts is a migration challenge for documents that were synced with a cloud account. The Box service is not an option in this version -- only Dropbox is on the list of cloud services (as f...
Tagging files
5/6/2014
Please tell more about what you using for a "tag cloud" "on the screen" -- I know of a few Mac apps that will do something like this, but none that do it well

I like Christian's project -- it is very ambitious, but is already demonstrating its value. Thank you for your work, Christian!
I mentioned somewhere (perhaps here, but I cannot find it) that the z...
I would also add "MacJournal" and "NoteBooks", "Leap" and "Yep", and "VooDoo Pad" -- all of which support various flavors of the metadata you mention.
"Journler" is now open source -- I wonder if any...
On the Mac, should be "DEVONthink" and "DEVONnote" -- but not "DEVONagent". "DEVONagent" is a complex web search tool, and so it can display meta data insofar as the found page source contains it, b...
This is very useful, thank you Jim.

SlipBox for OS X is nice ... but there have been no updates since OS X 10.5 (about 4 or 5 years ago). It might be abandonware.

If this scanner does what the videos claim, it would be amazing for research.

The introductory post is well written. Looking forward, also, to the rest.
I think Tinderbox should be on the list -- and will mention it to the author.
