![]() Yojimbo 2.0, the next version of the oh-so-simple file library from Bare Bones Software, was released today. Tagged: advice, applescript, custom solution, tagging The only downside is that VoodooPad is less flexible about what it can store (and how you can retrieve that info later) because everything is text-based whereas in Together you can toss whatever you want into your scratchpad, be it a PDF, image, bookmark, etc. ![]() Despite some unique drawbacks of its own, VoodooPad offers near-perfect synchronization, a daily log that far surpasses Together’s in usefulness, and the ability to append text to practically anything. The second solution I turned to, and the one that I have been using and fine-tuning for the last eight months, was VoodooPad. Sadly, though Together offered some fantastic advantages, its incredibly spotty synchronization with MobileMe eventually convinced me to abandon it in favor of something a bit more involved. ![]() In an attempt to address this need, I set up a personal scratchpad using Together. Tagged: 10.6, file system, release, sharewareĪs I discussed in the first part of this series, I often come across information while at work that I want to save or act on later while on my own time (or vice versa). For slightly more info about the update, see the 2.0 release announcement. Although I’m unsure if Tags still has a place in my personal workflow, this is definitely an update worthy of attention if you’ve been looking for a tagging solution for your Snow Leopard machine that’s a bit simpler to use than Leap. Tags 2.0 requires 10.6 and is a free update for licensed users of Tags 1.0 (although you do have to manually choose to register it, as they have added a one-time activation over the internet). In addition to the cosmetic changes, the program now offers support for many more applications and has apparently been improved in other, less obvious ways (though the developers are pretty scant with the details. The underlying tagging system is apparently also changed (while still supporting OpenMeta), although I couldn’t find any details about what specifically has changed. This update feels like a completely different application gone are the stylized custom interface elements of old, replaced by a HUD-style window (for tagging items), a standard 3-pane window for browsing tags, and a Spotlight-like search bar. Tags 2.0, a major rewrite of the file system tagging solution from Gravity Apps, has been released. ![]() In the meantime, things are likely to continue to be slow here for a while I’ll still publish notable software updates and any articles that I’m inspired to write, but I’ll be letting some of the minor updates slip by unmentioned. I’ve got a reimplementation and redesign of the site in the works, but it’s taking a while to get it up and running thanks to external distractions. While I’m on the topic of the site itself, I’d like to let folks know that I’m aware Tagamac is languishing a bit. I’ve fixed the problems that were interfering with the Tagamac feed, though, and since things have been slow recently you haven’t missed much. ![]() Apologies to folks for the dead RSS feed that’s been hanging around for the past month I switched hosts at the beginning of January, and the transition has been more rocky than I expected (thanks to the host not doing some standard things like providing easy emailing via PHP or standard server variables, but not notifying customers adequately). ![]()
