Scrivener Tutorial – How I Write

I love Scrivener. If any of you have read my little comparison review of Scrivener, Storyist and Storymill, you already know this. I adore this little piece of software. Sometimes I spend time browsin’ the web, looking for other people who love Scrivener. This is sad. However, it’s allowed me to come to one shocking [...]

Writing Showdown: Storyist VS Storymill VS Scrivener

With the rising popularity of the Mac OS platform, a number of small developers and software companies have found niche markets for themselves; the Getting Things Done crowd, the Tweaking freaks, the App Launchers; all have their own list of best-of software titles and nifty little apps. There are so many choices now to replace [...]

Changes for Mac and Scribbler for iPhone

Found this neat little app called Changes that allows you to compare, side-by-side and with color overlays, the differences between text documents. This seems pretty boring and useless until you realize how many damn lines are in a fanfiction or novel and how long and tedious it quickly becomes to re-read your own and proofreader’s [...]

SugarSync VS DropBox

Well. I’m back to the battle of Cloud Syncs. I’d been using DropBox for a good long while to sync my writing across several computers and to access my files on the go. As it happened, the lack of options and sharing support on DropBox eventually made me abandon the application completely. If you want [...]

iPhone OS 3.0 update

Well, it’s finally here and I’m happy to report that I for one am enjoying the changes so far. I don’t know how useful some of those features will be for me, but still, it’s a nice update. Copy and paste is a welcome, if late, addition, and I’m already using it a bit. Still [...]

Things 1.3.6 up in the App Store

The new version is working well for me, and syncs flawlessly with the desktop version of Things 1.1.2 The new version of Things iPhone now allows you to choose what to display on the icon badge. It does not, as far as I can tell, alow you to edit Project due dates directly; this still [...]

I gave in…

I bought Cultured Code’s Things. The new update has refreshed my confidence in the company and the app itself has become so ingrained in my daily routine it’s becoming hard to remember how I managed before. With its accompanying iPhone app, I can lug around my notes and todos without worrying about cloud sync and [...]

Storymill 3.2.2 and CC’s Things gets an update

I had Storymill sitting on my hard drive for the longest time and have only recentely started using it properly, the reason being, I couldn’t figure out how to keep notes and things relating to characters and whatnot. I first started using writing software with Storyist, which was easier on the eyes and came with [...]

Arh, GTD is kicking my ass!

So I’m back to Things and Things for iPhone. Go figure. OmniFocus works great, but it’s a bit of an overkill for me; I don’t have to juggle with that many projects, and keeping the database up-to-date was eating up way too much of my time to be called productive. The Things interface, which was [...]

Bye bye IE6!

Hope none of you are using it, because I’ve just added a bit of conditional comment magic to my header that makes Internet Explorer users who are browsing with versions older than 6.0 totally crash. I’ve just spent an afternoon of work coding a website in spunky, clean XHTML & CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) 3 [...]
