Opinions On TheBrain?
6/26/2008
I have looked at The Brain in the past, and partly as a result of the activity here, I downloaded a new trial and put it through the paces.
The result of this is not so much an opinion as a question...
Beeswax - blast from the past
6/21/2008
Here is another one "inspired" by Agenda. It seems to me to follow Agenda's surface design too closely. And I cannot get the categories to work. But I may be obtuse or didn't play with it long enough ...
ConnectedText
6/2/2008
Yes, the topic will export with all the included topics contained in it. The export options are txt, html, html help. So, there is no direct way to open it in MS-Word that I know of. That may be my ow...
Voodoopad or ConnectedText.
6/2/2008
In ConnectedText, you can include one document in another by just enclossing the name of the document to be included with brackets, like so (( )). So you can make one very long document from many shor...
What do YOU do?
5/11/2008
"1. A great new, affordable PIM has appeared and you love it. You intend to use it for all your new projects, but what do you do for ongoing projects for which you’ve accumulated a fair amount of in...
You probably looked at Agenda at Once. See http://www.agendaatonce.com/features.html
As far as I can tell, it does most of what you want except import/export of Palm and Outlook and different icons f...
short time memory and outliner software

Guido and Cassius,
can't help myself, but I need to respond:
(i) Even if hyperlinks can be useful, one should be aware that hyperlinks are not necessarily translated into meaningful connections betwee...
ConnectedText 3
3/15/2008
Alexander,
I do not want really to defend ConnectedText on the way they license their copies. It's their business (and very early on, I tried to tell them that their licensing model probably wasn't t...

Derek,
I hope you will find it as useful as I do.

ConnectedText 3
3/13/2008
Hello Alexander,
thanks for your reply. I have been using ConnectedText since about the middle of 2006, and I have upgraded to version 2.0 already. In any case, I swear by it.
I am not sure when you...

ConnectedText 3
3/12/2008
As one of the Beta Testers, I had the opportunity of trying first hand the new version of ConnectedText 3 that is about to be released. In addition to many incremental improvements (in the editor, spe...
mac emulators
3/12/2008
Actually, there are legal mac emulators. The only thing is that they emulate only Macs that are running up to OS 7.5. One of my favorites is Mini Vmac. See http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/. It's real...
A useful property of 2-pane PIMs
2/18/2008
There are many ways to interact with your information. Browsing and searching are perhaps the two most fundamental ways at dealing with any extensive body of information. There are clearly some advant...
Notetab comes to mind. But you'd probabably want the standard or pro version, which have also rudimentary outlining capability and the ability to link to entries by enclosing them with "[" "]". You ca...
I took myself mainly as reporting facts.
It is a fact that I cannot access certain MS sites with FireFox, and that you MUST use Internet Explorer.
And it is a fact that Vista crashes daily because ...
Just to add one other item to Cassius' list:
MS prevents access to some of its sites when you use a browser other than the Internet Explorer. And even if you can successfully navigate to one of its s...

Thank you very much for this link. Very interesting article!

AutoHotkey (and revised list)
1/1/2008
I forgot one (because it's almost invisible to me). But I would be lost without it), namely AutoHotkey.
This means the first five are:
Firefox
Thunderbird
ConnectedText
AutoHotKey
Above & Beyond
and...
It's all well and good to talk about the most significant developments, but which applications did you actually use most?
Here is the list of the five applications I used most during 2007 (roughly in...
I don't want to "whip a dead horse," so this is my last post on this.
First, it was probably a bad idea to post last night after a full day's of work. There are some more typos in my message. The most...
Sorry, I made two mistakes that need fixing:
“The psychological doctrine of connectionism does not require that making connections _feel_ like making connections. It could well be that the richest an...
"The psychological doctrine of connectionism does not require that making connections _feel_ like making connections. It could well be that the richest and durable connections are formed by understand...
Cassius.
O.K. As I said I did not want to get too deeply into these issues. But what was behind my cliam was only that some people claim that you can model brain activities or connections between s...
of course ...
But when when we speak of "thinking" in the context of "experience" -- remember your original question? ["Certainly we all have had the experience of reading something or hearing somet...
