I’d like to find a decent outliner for the Mac. I’ve already found an outstanding outliner<\/a>, but it’s not free. In fact, it’s a little pricey for a starving seminarian. But what I really don’t like is the way they want to squeeze every penny out of the transaction. You can run it on multiple machines, or multiple users, but not both. So I can’t have it on both my laptop and the eMac at home in such a way that my son and I can both use it, without buying multiple licenses. Nuts to that. (Probably. I may give in because so far I haven’t found anything better.)<\/p>\n

I’ve also been looking for a Todo-list manager that’s better than the bolt-on feature of iCal<\/a>, which is what you get by default. I don’t want my calendar cluttered up with a zillion minor items, but I’d like to keep track of them in case I ever have a chance to work on them. I forget how I found it, but VoodooPad<\/a> looks pretty impressive. (So does their FlySketch<\/a>, but that’s a separate issue.)<\/p>\n

That, in turn, led me somehow to a Todo manager called ShadowPlan<\/a>, which also looks pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

One tool that didn’t cost me anything is the venerable enscript<\/a>. There’s a darwinport<\/a> for it so it installed in a jiffy, and it works just as good today as it did in 1995.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
