I used to think outlining ("physical" ordering of information items in a tree structure) to be an inferior method of organizing the items. Rather, I've thought that the definitive or ideal organizati...

voice notes on android

I'd like to be able to dictate quick voice notes into my Android phone, and end up with transcribed text in a PIM on my PC. I'm sure are many apps and ways to accomplish this, but I'm wondering if th...

I think I'm just fascinated with the whole process of extending our brains with the aid of the personal computer - to remember better, to organize better, etc. The funny thing is that by spending so ...
filling data fields
9/13/2011
I think one problem with PIMs is that the process of filling in data fields can be very awkward. It can be complex to do it in a grid-type display - only a few columns will fit in a window, and you m...

It's interesting to see the different approaches to a "navigation pane".
In a file explorer (e.g. Windows Explorer), the folders are "pure containers". They aren't data items in themselves; they onl...

a spinoff from the "state of the art" thread.
I've come to a few conclusions (for my own use, anyway).
An "outliner", in a strict sense, is a tool for displaying text segments of variable length in ...
i should have clarified - when you do a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V in Cintanotes - the text of the selected notes gets pasted. If you do a File/Export, you can select whether you want to export all notes or just...
Just experimenting with Cintanotes a little. I was able to select multiple notes in Cintanotes, consecutive or non-consecutive, using the usual methods. I tried a Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V into Notepad - it...
Never mind! I installed the trial version, and I can see it definitely isn't worth my time. Very rudimentary compared to the more powerful programs we discuss here.
