![]() ![]() pros: lightweight, easy to use, really easy wiki-like functions and a great search function.So much in fact that I splurged the 30 bucks for it when I reached the limitation of the free version (15 pages max IIRC). I fell in love with Flyingmeat’s little, nifty app when it was first introduced to me. My system is still under construction, but this is what I’ve got so far: Saved Workspaces: Quit with all your windows open.Auto-Bullets: Make lists and outlines with a couple of key commands.Sketch: Feeling artistic? Bring down the Sketch sheet and draw what you can' t express in words.I (re)started life as a graduate student a couple of months ago now and I’ve been using the opportunity to drastically revamp my notetaking techniques.

If you are looking for a way to get your ideas down on paper, but don't have them all formed out exactly, you need a tool that is adaptive and can accommodate your train of though, no matter which way it goes. Most of the time, one idea leads to another, and the vast majority of ideas are linked to other ideas. VoodooPad is a program that will let you get even the most complex, multi-layered ideas down into letters and images with minimal effort on your behalf. ![]() Wikis are in essence web pages that are automatically interlinked. So if you had an entry for "fish", whenever the word fish will appear in any other entry from that point on, it will automatically become a link pointing back to the fish entry. As the number of entries grows, and new ones appear, the old entries are updated so that any word that coincides with the title of another entry becomes a link to that entry. In essence the wiki becomes a tangled mass of links that point back and forward in a manner that mimics the way information is linked in our memory. When you start up VoodooPad for the first time you will be greeted by an introductory page that explains the functionality of the program and also serves as an example.īasically, since at the end of the day, the document is made up of a lot of pages, in making your own local wiki you work with 3 elements: pages, links and content. The first is choosing new page from the menu, entering a name for the page, and then getting the content in there. This approach works best when you are adding new ideas and content. The second method involves selecting a word and choosing the link command or using the link button in the toolbar. This will take you to the new page which was just created and named after the linked word. This approach works best when you are already working on something and have a new idea or realize that something needs additional explanations. The title of a page is used to highlight words that will link to it. However there are times when you want several words to point towards the same page. ![]() To achieve this you can enter Aliases in the page information. Moreover, for an easier internal organization, pages can be grouped under categories. Unfortunately there is only one level of categories and pages cannot be freely dragged between them. All in all, categories are too unwieldy if you have too many pages, and pretty much not needed if you don't have too many. ![]()
