Currently I am using a tool called Tomboy to store notes and other information. Tomboy allows you to store notes with wiki linking and formatting. There are also plugins that allow you to add sketches to notes, set reminders and add the current time and date to a note.

It is also possible to export notes in various different formats and, thanks to the d-bus interface, possible to interact with Tomboy programmatically. In short Tomboy is an excellent tool for Linux users — and hopefully soon for windows users.

About Tomboy

Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.

Have you ever felt the frustration at not being able to locate a website you wanted to check out, or find an email you found interesting, or remember an idea about the direction of the political landscape in post-industrial Australia? Or are you one of those desperate souls with home-made, buggy, or not-quite-perfect notes systems?

Time for Tomboy. We bet you’ll be surprised at how well a little application can make life less cluttered and run more smoothly.

Tomboy is currently in pre-release development, but you can still try it out. Tomboy is written in C# and utilizes the Mono runtime and Gtk#. Automatic spell-checking is provided by GtkSpell.

New Plugins and Upgrades

I have upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.0 after reading the comments about it and deciding to risk trying it out. Along the way I discovered a number of wordpress plugins which I am trying out. Shortstat which collects stats about your blog and shows a nice one page summary of the users visiting your site. It seems a lot faster than the BAStats that I was previously using, which corrupted my database, leaving me no option but to turn it off.

The other plugin I’m using is Wordpress Database Backup which allows you to take a backup of your site and email it to yourself. It would be nice if it had the feature to automatically do this every day, or on a regular schedule, but I don’t add too much content here so its not a big problem to do it on an ad hoc basis.
