“I’m not dead yet…!”

Just working around the clock….
On the plus side, I think I finally found my Holy Grail of personal content management, the new version of DEVONthink (Mac OS X only, I’m afraid). It hasn’t impressed me as an ideal solution in the past, but the last few iterations are amazing. It’s been quite an enabling little beast for my job at hand, allowing me to sift through thousands of pages of text (plain, RTF, HTML and PDF), find related entries, track my sources, manage all related media, and write various documents without bother or fuss. Its capabilities are constantly surprising me. Stay tuned for a write-up….

I totally agree with you. It is also my “Holy Grail of personal content management”. I have also been using it for a while to implement Getting Things Done. I have posted a number of screenshots of my implementation. If this is of interest to you, you can have a look at my post on Getting Things Done on Devonthink
I had the priviledge to visit Newfoundland last September. Fabulous island and fabulous people.

Cool. As you probably have seen, I’m into DT too. Really eager to see what 2.0 looks like — hoping it will be here soon. Interested to see if they can leverage the Spotlight engine in some way — although it’s pretty clear to me that the DT search is a lot more intelligent (as in AI). Apparently Spotlight can’t deal with misspellings for example. Looking forward to further posts on this!
