Wiki on a Palm - 2

July 5, 2005

So, what is it about Note Studio that I like?
* As I said in my earlier post - I love the fact that the application has a desktop companion that behaves mostly the same as the Palm app. There are slight variations (tables behave in the desktop app but don’t do so well on the Palm), but for the most part they look and behave the same.

I tried Cyberpoche, from Jacques Turbe, with his desktop counterpart - Note Tab Pro. Whew! That sucker is a like a power tool with all the attachments! I am not a programmer and I don’t play one on the web, so I quickly got lost in the MANY features of Note Tab Pro. Never could get it to do what Jacques said. Too hard, too steep a learning curve…gimme something simple for my simple mind. That’s where I found Note Studio.

* You can link across books and add and remove books.
This is sweet. I have been using a couple of books for my information on the Palm. One covers my main pages. Another covers all my contact information, cross-linked between alphabetic and category. I can have as many categories as I’ve go names to call things. One trick I learned was to dump all my memos, work up all the information I need for pages in an editor (I use Edit Pad Lite from JGSoft), put those into a spreadsheet to get individual “memos,” aka rows, then copy them into the Palm memo desktop. That creates all the memos for me. I change any categories I want to change, then import them into Note Studio! Voila! I have multiple pages (linked by categories on a main page) in a Note Studio book.
