What else is this like?



    #Yojimbo

    From ’round the web (in this case: MacSlash): Bare Bones’ [tag]Yojimbo[/tag] personal information organizer.

    What’s this doing that [tag]StickyBrain[/tag] or [tag]Voodoo Pad[/tag] isn’t?

    Granted, I can’t speak much for StickyBrain. Never used it. Don’t see the point in that kind of system. (Maybe I would if I’d used it?) I’ll stick to Voodoo Pad, which I think is the best little app since they invented vi and grep.

    This isn’t to diminish Yojimbo. [tag]Gruber[/tag] seems to like it. Not to say “just because” - - just that I value his opinion and having not tried it (see above). That said: I may give the demo a whirl for the hell of it - - but given that you can encrypt with Voodoo Pad … well, VP’s wiki style is more my style.

      It’s difficult to get a feel for these apps and their advantages over a personal wiki. It seems that the main advantage is the integration of note-taking tools, but I might just be showing my ignorance.

      Agreed. The only thing I can think of is maybe some way of integrating them with the Services menu…? But: (1) I haven’t installed them, so I don’t know and (2) who uses the Services menu anyway?


    3. mike:

      Do you use a personal wiki at home?

      -m

      Voodoo Pad r0xx0rs my b0xx0rs. Xwiki by way of Tomcat it pretty nice, too. So: yes!
