Happy 2009!

I’ve been playing with Evernote some and it has definitely improved since I last toyed with it. I’m thinking, now that I’m in a different environment, that it just might work for me.

Here are my requirements:

Must be able to use it for work on a laptop that I can’t install [...]

Maybe if you’re using OneNote on a powerful laptop or a new, ultra-configured tablet, you may not have noticed any slow-down. Or if you like to keep neat little notes that only use a letter-sized page of writing/text at a time, this likely has never occurred. But if you use just a half-decent [...]

Well my migration over to OneNote is going pretty good. I’ve used it exclusively now in both of the scheduled 3 hour seminars I’ve attended so far, along with numerous other note-taking tasks, and I’ve got to say I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience and that’s without even getting my teeth into, shall we call it, [...]

After a few years trying different things and a few internships under my belt, I have a new outlook on how tablets help note-taking, and how only keeping digital copies of my notes can be a hindrance. The basic plan for this semester is as follows: Take notes with Tablet PC in class. This [...]

Well it’s been 2 months since I scribed the first in my series on how I use my Tablet PC (along with other e-gadgets) to study electronically (and as close to 100% paperless as I can) so before I proceed to the next part, I should perhaps apologise for such a lengthy delay. Over the [...]

If you’re going to succeed at being an efficient TabletPC based student (regardless of what program of study you are taking) then it really helps to get, and stay, as organised as possible, and even more so when you’re study routine is primarily digital in nature. Thankfully you can go a long way to achieving [...]

Check out this really cool tablet PC substitute pictured on the left (Adesso’s CyberPad).  It doubles as a notepad to write down your lecture notes, any notes for that matter, and can be plugged into a USB port on your laptop/desktop PC to serve as an inking surface.  I use Aipek’s HyperPen 1200U with an [...]

I was doing a bit of research surfing earlier (honestly :o)) and I ended up in a place I haven’t been for a while - the GoBinder forums and two threads “Future Status of GoBinder and PlanPlus” and “Announcing the abandonment of GoBinder2006” horrified me instantly. Now I need to make it clear that [...]

A downfall of wonderful digital notes is, well, your notes are digital. Any exam where the teacher mentions a test is open note and/or open book makes any tablet student wonder just how they’re going to get all their stuff out of their tablet without wasting loads of paper and time. Sure, you can ask if you [...]

Yes, OK, I will admit I tossed OneNote last semester when it died right before finals and I couldn’t get to my notes for a week. The extra functionality just didn’t seem worth the hassle.

But I’m not one to hold a grudge. I can’t remember but I think I might have been still using the [...]
