General Software Discussion / Re: Windows vs. Mac: I'm starting to change.
« Last post by rgdot on November 08, 2009, 06:35 PM »
Excellent post grapeshot.

If your OS version is a couple of years old, you begin to find that new software won't work with it, forcing you to upgrade.  In the Windows world, you can reasonably expect your OS to last you for the better part of a decade.

I hear that from Mac users once in a while and to me it's almost incomprehensible, I don't mean solely from a technical stand point but from a practical one.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Idea: A 'polite' reminder/diary system

Hmmm...the application has to continue running in order to keep popping up the window at the specified times.  Or, am I misunderstanding you again?   :huh:
-skwire (November 06, 2009, 04:23 AM)

No, you didn't misunderstand. In my first post above I did say that I understand that this needs to pop up at the specified times.
I was only thinking out loud, trying to find a way to not have this open all the time.

Are you asking for a File, Exit menu bar on the popup?
-skwire (November 06, 2009, 02:49 AM)

No, I meant the following:
When pressing enter not only does the window go away but the program closes too (doesn't remain in tray)

This is great and nice idea too, thanx. May be just a small tweak, the popup position be configurable, not important obviously.

EDIT: Any chance, much like the Icon Menu Launcher for example, ExitApp can be incorporated into it? Even though this needs to start at intervals of course

(I am already thinking of using the log or data collected over time and importing them into a richer format for future browsing)

Thanx mouser.
I would love to visit the store and try so many of those, I would pass on any coffee varieties though. He makes so many good points; glass vs plastic, diet sodas, and even competition :up:

Like you guys have said. Even based on what the author of the article himself says the 1 point difference in compatibility is wrong. Never mind what the reality is.

@Dormouse, Thank you, makes sense. Just made me laugh when I got a service pack that was ~194MB
Onenote and Compendium look nice, in different ways, may be I will look into Onenote 2010 somehow. Going to play with them more. Keeping my eyes open for others as well, including Notezilla and Evernote.

Side note:
So I go to MS's Onenote page (http://trial.trymicr...te&culture=en-CA) and download the Onenote 60 day trial. Now I am getting Windows update prompts for '2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service pack 1', Who says I have 2007 Office installed?  :huh: And 2007 office is not listed as a requirement for Onenote 2007 but maybe it is? then again Onenote seems to be working, at least the few minutes that I have tried it.
I have a fully patched version of Office 2003, may be I should have downloaded Onenote 2003?

I remember the days of learning Turbo Pascal and FORTRAN, memories...
Speaking of that, the wikipedia entry for Fortran says: "Fortran (previously FORTRAN[1])" I completely missed the part of them losing the caps  :D

If my Wave invite makes it (lol) I will attempt to use it for notes (and collaboration) too, even though I am more inclined to use something offline right now.

Downloading Onenote now.

Thank you Dormouse, I will download the Notezilla trial as well.

True, that is partially the reason why I want to keep looking.
I will try Onenote.

I need to re-visit Evernote, though I don't want or don't need to use any web features. But that does remind me of the thumbnail view of notes it had (?) which is also a good possibility. Onenote I am one of the few I know that has never used. Might be time to try.

I looked at Notezilla and it says "Stay Neat: Organize sticky notes inside folders to avoid clutter on your Windows Desktop." Does that mean I can view stickies within the program window instead of on the desktop? It would be nicer not to use desktop but if I have to then sticky programs in general may be an option, if nothing else.

I used the word aggregation in this sense. If a program supports tasks, reminders, appointments, etc. I want everything to displayed in this view that I am imagining.  I guess, probably wrongly, I associate stickies with short reminders when I am hoping to have maximum amount of details in front of me.

One that I have comes across is Pigeonhole (I have no affiliation to them at all) that is probably the most promising yet but I want to keep looking.
