Hi;
I could use some suggestions. I seem to collect a lot of snippets of
information scribbled on pieces of paper, old napkins, etc. Examples
are notes on harware, sources for stuff, notes on possible projects,
book that I might want to buy in the future and on and on. This has
generated numerous scraps of paper and sticky notes with the result
that chaos reigns. I recently tried knotes which helped a lot but
didn't cover tasks. I have now switched to Kontact. This takes care of
scheduling things, projects and short term notes. I still am not sure
what to do about those notes that could be around for a long time like
maybe a note on the "proton boron fusion reaction energy" . I may
never use it but would like to be able to find the information if need
be. I guess I need a repository for disparate information (how's that
for fuzzy). I hope this makes some sense.
There is something called kjots in kde, but I prefer the zim program.
Zim is called a personal wiki and allows any number of pages with
pretty much any type of text or links on each. It also has searches,
a calendar, and todo items. It doesn't have any type of appointments
or automated reminders. Kjots seems more limited, but that might be
my lack of experience with it. Both have debian packages.
