Hyper Plan v2 is out
3/16/2016
Would the good folk of this forum like to share how they are using Hyper Plan (outside bog standard project management)?
I like the idea of the program - it reminds me of the Outlook plugin TaskCrack...
I made this move, but it was some years ago and I can't remember any more the exact steps I did. I have a vague memory that I exported from the Brain in html and imported that into Connected Text. I ...
Ah. Well.
First of all I avoid any cloud-only solutions. Workflowy has the advantage that it's automatically synced across any device, but I'm never, ever, no way going to put any data of value into...
Like many others I've found a fairly stable batch of programs for information management which haven't changed that much in 2015. I'm Windows only (and that won't change), I avoid cloud-only solutions...
Taskfabric / Organize:Pro
1/7/2016
I would suggest, Daly, that this is a screen size display issue. On a "normal" screen you see the columns next to each other so that the comparison of versions is easy, as you would require. The page ...

It's on their front page at http://taskfabric.com/index.php . Just scroll down. I found it no problem at all ...

TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/28/2015
I notice that on the video one has to sign in to open a brain. Does this mean that the brains are now being stored in the cloud only? If so, what if their site is down? Can this be circumvented? No ch...
The Brain version 8 versus version 6
10/5/2015
Thanks Paul/Steve.
I stopped upgrading when they removed a polite but negative post I had made in their forum (not untypical behaviour, apparently) and I also got fed up with regularly paying wads of...
Ariadne Organizer now on iOS
10/3/2015
I regularly download and check the updates for the desktop version, but I find it very confusing and completely unintuitive, unlike its free predecessor which I'm still very happy to use. One day it m...
The Brain version 8 versus version 6
10/3/2015
Apart from cosmetic features (curved linking lines, icons, link labels, Twitter "integration" and so on) can anybody in the know tell me if The Brain version 8 is fundamentally different/better than v...
Handling mail messages as information
8/19/2015
I somehow missed this program up to now, and I do like the way that it works, as a light-weight thin interface with the Window's file system.
However, it hasn't been updated since 2010 and I've found...
Ariadne Mail Problems
5/28/2015
Daly, I installed 6.14 without problems. You might have found a bug in version 6.15, which is the newest release.
There are issues with communicating with the developer. The old Yahoo group is dead a...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"
12/1/2014
Bear a thought also for those of us without the easy availability of a broadband connection to utilise cloud services.
I used to scoff at the thought that there were areas without proper broadband ...

Ariadne 6.1
3/18/2014
Is anybody using Ariadne 6.1? (http://www.prokarpaty.net)
I was very fond of Ariadne in version 5 and before, but whilst Yuriy has been trying to re-develop it from scratch (with associated interfac...

@2211 I think you're getting confused/I'm confusing you. Let me try to clarify below.

@22111 Yes, this is more or less correct. Nothing is really physically moved as such when you drag things around except the order that WO knows the files needs to be handled in when you output the da...

I'm not sure what you mean about "intruding" (intrusive?) - the WO menu can be minimised to the left of the screen at any time. I use WO extensively including for a graphics-heavy document which is o...

White board software

I mentioned the problem of the manual being meaningless to us mere mortals to the ThinkComposer developer. He responded:
"The product manual: It is mainly focused in explain the structure and relatio...
Levels of service

One of the things that will get me hooked on one program rather than another is the level of service that is offered by the developer. How easy they are to contact, if they reply, how quickly they rep...

Jerry,
I have registered ThinkComposer and I've done some fiddling with it, though not as much as I had intended. It's powerful, and the developer is very communicative and continues to update the s...
