Mac OSX as a PIM? 6/13/2007

That's funny. How did I do it in 3 days? Let's just say I didn't sleep much during those 3 days and worked on the laptop full time. It's good thing that I usually have download files on my hard di...

Mac OSX as a PIM? 6/12/2007

Advice needed from Mac owners 5/1/2007

Two new tools worth testing - Direct Access and XYplorer 4/2/2007

I would also agree with DO being an excellent tool. I haven't found anything that comes close it terms of power and flexibility. However, it does take some time to discover all the power/feature wit...

Reducing my PIM/Knowledge/Writing Tools 4/1/2007

Ike, Interesting. I've switched from Evernote to UR, and I have to say UR is so much more feature rich and adaptable that I don't see myself ever going back. I've touted Evernote here and elsewhere...

Reducing my PIM/Knowledge/Writing Tools 3/31/2007

Dominik and others, It's interesting that we all share a similar experience. I mentioned my experience elsewhere; so, I won't go into a lot of details here, but several short tries in UR over the ye...

Poll 2: Now it is easier: You can add three applications to your computer! 3/26/2007

I also tried UR several times and then dismissed them as not suitable until one day I bit the bullet and tried it for an extended time (e.g., sevaral days), and now I'm hooked. Citavi looks promising...

Jan, Thanks for the tip about turning off keywords. I don't transfer too many web pages consecutively to have found the delay unacceptable. Also, Launchy has worked perfectly for me in my system; s...

Trying to Trust Launchy 3/24/2007

Daly, I have not had any problem with Launchy within Firefox 2.0x with UR 3 (now 3.02). It does take UR a bit time to import the page; so, I'm not sure what happens if you copy multiple pages quickl...

My vote would be UltraRecall v3. For the past month or so, it has become indispensable in my life.

MyInfo vs UltraRecall 3/19/2007

IM has a good feature in collecting web pages and its citation, but I recently realized that the saved web pages are not indexed unless you copy the content of the page into the annotation tab. On th...
