Hewson on MS Word revision
1/11/2013
Yup, mine's an NEC MobilePro, too - my HP and my LG machines both died off (see? I'm not just a CRIMPer, I'm a gadget freak!), but the NEC is still going strong. I like to joke it has the same benefit...
I was recently reminded - quite unexpectedly - of the advantages of a prog that has largely fallen from favour: Phantech's InfoRecall.
Most people regard UltraRecall as the natural successor to InfoR...

More damaging (to Microsoft) is their apparent intention to continue with per-device (as opposed to per-user) licensing. So you'll need multiple licences for e.g. MS Word to run it on multiple devices...
Has anyone gotten into the new Wunderlist?
12/21/2012
Yup, finally got on yesterday afternoon. It's nice. Not as nice as Todoist, but more cross-platform. Just. And more collaboration-focused. They've obviously taken a lot of time and trouble on the new ...
Search and 'hoist' text
12/21/2012
What you're describing sounds like a concordance function; there are a few specialised concordance editors out there. I can't remember what they're called offhand, but I'll see if I can dig up some re...
Single-pane outliners
12/21/2012
Interesting - I didn't realise Sense supported OPML (through a plugin). Closer look required... no! no!...
C-C-C-RRRRRRIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPing!

Mind you, if it's two laptops you've got (presumably running Windows) you could also simply use Dropbox (which is what I was doing before the Simplenote compatibility came up). You have to be a bit ca...

Hi Gary - yes, absolutely, that's why I'm so pleased with this latest version of CintaNotes. Simplenote (sorry, misspelled it before) is a popular text-synchronisation service based on tagged notes. L...
Speaking of CintaNotes...
12/21/2012
Gary sums it up perfectly. But I found I wasn't using it a huge amount until the latest version came out. The support for tabs (of which you can select one to be the default 'clippings' tab) is brilli...
Re-emergence of Cotton Notes
12/21/2012
I know many of you are enthusiastic outliner users on the iOS platform, devoted to such stalwarts as Carbonfin Outliner or OmniOutliner. But do cast another eye (if you haven't looked at it for a whil...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/18/2012
Yes, you're right, it's a temporary reversion.
And I know just what you mean. While most of my tasks are managed in Todoist, I find myself slapping all the small, urgent stuff into a clever little i...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/17/2012
ToodleDo does if you upgrade to a Pro subscription - full subtasking etc. is indeed supported (you may be interested in 2Do, available across multiple platforms, which uses ToodleDo as a "back end"). ...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/17/2012
Yes, I've recently started to use Todoist, and I must say it's a very pleasant environment. Marred only by the fact that it's not shareable - for that, you need Wedoist, apparently. But it's quite exp...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/14/2012
Well, OneNote and the various OneNote clients for iOS are definitely a good option.
Otherwise there's the iOS text editor plus Dropbox plus Windows text editor approach (quite popular, as you'll hav...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
Well, I mean, dash it all, old man, you've got to say things as you find 'em, don'cha know? And I think it's simply spiffing that there are so many splendid fellows out there all beavering away, produ...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
OneNote on iPad is pretty good, actually. Not as good as the original, but it does allow you to maintain the basics, and has a fairly good search function.
OneNote+ is very good indeed, but has a cou...
BasKet Note Pads
12/11/2012
Thanks for the encouragement - yes, the new Mint looks very... tasty.
As for KDE: it's just the libraries, but on my elderly HP/IBM/Dell machines, that's actually quite a heap of trouble. Put it thi...
BasKet Note Pads
12/11/2012
I must say it's nice to see that BasKet Note Pads (http://basket.kde.org/screenshots.php) has been revived again. One of the great OneNote equivalents for Linux, it's always been a favourite of mine. ...
AML Pages
11/30/2012
Hm - I've taken a quick look - I like the emphasis on bookmarking, I must say: that's a nice feature.
But I've overindulged recently, I'm CRIMPed out... I'm not sure I can add yet another outliner to...
Office Timeline
11/30/2012
... and as a final sign-off this morning (sorry, been proofreading for about 50 hours solid, and have gone totally manic), can I bring to your attention Office Timeline, a PowerPoint add-on that allow...
Note taking workflow article
11/30/2012
On the subject of PDFs - and, I will admit, diversifying even further from the main topic of this forum, albeit in the interests of a secondary topic (information management) that also interests many ...
Note taking workflow article
11/30/2012
Great tip on Papers - I've been looking at "research manager" apps, and this looks very promising. But then again, PDFs are quite good at managing themselves: not many people realise that the basic Ac...
Thanks for that, Dominik - wow! Looks like a good toy!
Programmer's Notepad
11/26/2012
Well, I've just tried it, and yes, it does. Programmer's Notepad always asks you whether you want to save the current state of your projects when you exit. And if you say "yes", it reloads everything ...
Programmer's Notepad
11/26/2012
Ah, thanks for the tip: I use Epistle already, which is very good, but I haven't had much to do with accented characters therein. I shall look at Denote forthwith (I've been running searches on German...
