The New Coke Lesson [GTD Wannabe]

Readers who have been around for a while might recall that I’m a big EverNote fan (note the capital N).  You may be wondering why I haven’t blogged about the new Evernote (note the little n) 3 beta here…
Well, I’d like to say that it’s because my mother taught me that if you can’t say [...]

evaluating evernote [Creativityist]

I’ve been evaluating Evernote for the last few weeks. I like it. A lot. So much that I’m tempted to change over from Yojimbo.
But not yet.
Here’s what I like:

Without a doubt, my favorite feature is Evernote’s ability to recognize text in an image and make it searchable. I can snap a picture with my [...]

Looking for the EverNote Template Editor [GTD Wannabe]

Can’t find the template editor over at the main EverNote site?  That’s because it’s been removed.  Why?  Probably because they’re focusing so hard on the new Evernote 3 beta, which doesn’t support templates.  Please, don’t ask - it’s just too painful to talk about.
Anyway, some of us are still using 2.2, and some of us [...]

Evernote 3 Beta - My new capture tool [7Breaths]

I’ve been using the new Evernote 3 Beta as my capture tool for the last few weeks and must say how impressed I have been with it. The main advantage with it is that I have access to my notes wherever I am because of its ability to synchronise seamlessly between my computer, the [...]

evernote preview [Creativityist]

I think it is pretty clear around here how important Yojimbo is in my workflow.
However, Evernote looks promising. They have both a Mac and Windows client that syncs notes to a server so they can be viewed online or on a mobile device. Plus, there is text recognition for finding words in images. I’m [...]

EverNote Template Editor - New Version for 2.1 Databases [GTD Wannabe]

Some time ago, I upgraded my EverNote to version 2.1, which is great, but which has a different format for the database.  That meant that the EverNote Template Editor (ENTE) broke.
I’ve been moping around lately, thinking that all of my templates were now static, I wouldn’t be able to tweak them at all until they [...]

EN Templates: ENTE is Available Now [GTD Wannabe]

Update 2007-04-25 19:17: There are problems with the zip file being corrupt. It works for me, on two different machines, but I have received numerous complaints. I’m hosting it over at geocities, and although it tells me that it’s uploaded, the file there seems to be 1 KB bigger than the one [...]

EN Templates: A New Tool in Town [GTD Wannabe]

Earlier, I posted about how to make a simple change to a default template in EverNote. Those of who who read through the whole post will notice that the actual change was very easy - a simple text replacement. The rest of the rather long set of instructions had to do with getting [...]

EN Templates: Changing Labels is Easy! [GTD Wannabe]

Let’s say that you’re a typical EverNote user who enjoys using templates, but sometimes finds the templates a little less than perfect. For example, you like using the contact template but have no desire to keep track of Skype information for your contacts. And let’s also say that you’re not an XML guru [...]
