Eluma opens it up [Genuine Curiosity]

Last month, I wrote about Eluma 2.0 (Eluma: Browse, organize, and share) which is a pretty cool tool for organizing, sharing, and tracking web-based information (web sites, RSS, web clippings, etc.) on Windows XP and Windows Vista. At the time of my original review, Eluma was in private beta.

Control for team projects [Genuine Curiosity]

I’ve been test driving a web-based project management tool called Projjex, and it is pretty cool. I’m using the free version, which is limited to a single project (but supports multiple users/participants for that project.

I recently had to use a backup of this blog to re-import its content. As a result some of the links are no longer working, but I do not have time to check them at the moment. If you are looking for the Mindmanager GTD templates I released ages ago, you can find them at [...]

Eluma: Browse, organize, and share [Genuine Curiosity]

I do a lot of online research on a variety of topics - work, personal, etc. However, I’m not very methodical about cataloging the links I find. As a result, I have a lot of unruly bookmarks (favorites) that I’ve accumulated. I save some of them “just in case,” others I intend to check periodically [...]

A deal on NitroPDF Professional through May 7 [Genuine Curiosity]

For a long time now, NitroPDF Professional has been my top recommendation for creating, editing, annotating, and combining PDF files. I reviewed NitroPDF in full a couple of years back, and I like their latest version (v5) even more than when I started using it back in the day.
I just got an email offer from [...]

The “Now Defunct Museum”

The Now Defunct Museum is a Squidoo lens dedicated to remembering some of the things that once seemed everywhere, but now have vanished from our everyday lives. Very entertaining - I like the picture of the [...]
