DevonThink Pro usage notes

14. June 2006 Keine Kommentare

This thread in the DevonThink forums talks about various uses of DTP, but focusing on the “how to organize your Devon Think library.” There are multiple ways, each having its benefits — after all YOU need to be working with it, so in a way the structure might resemble the way you think or work. But it all comes down to utilizing the powers of teh DevonThink AI: group stuff together that needs to be grouped. Group similar stuff. File Things wherever they might belong. This way the AI learns and will help you later when filing new stuff where it might belong to.

You could also tag your files (e.g. via their comments) and then grab the tagged files via a smart folder (see 43Folders for a detailed article on this). btw a very useful feature that can also be used in Finder.app: You can very easily set finder/spotlight comments via a Quicksilver-Plugin and then assemble all related items with a smart folder (or saved search from spotlight). e.g. Ⅰ have a projects.smartfolder that contains all my current projects’ folders (tagged with “@project,” of course), no matter where they are. You could also be more specific and just get all files tagged with “@recipe” and “@baking”… you get the idea.

Technorati for science

11. November 2005 Keine Kommentare

Where is the technorati for science? A site that accumulates all abstracts of scientific publications that you can search for – based on content, author, publication, keywords. A site that offers RSS feeds for those searches.

What else could be done with a system like this?

  • it would be very easy to stay up-to-date with current scientific progress – new publications on a subject would just appear in your inbox
  • there would finally be a single place that would be the source of all your inquiries – your RSS feed reader! User’s choice!
  • since RSS feeds can contain quite a bunch of meta data it would be very easy to integrate your reference manager – just point and click and save the abstract plus reference info, directly from the feed reader.
  • integrate the system with social reference managers like citeUlike or connotea – making those social networks and meta information much more valuable as well as accessible.

But then Ⅰ just realize this may not ever going to happen – too many publishers are probably afraid of sharing that much freely; the service would probably be even interesting to scientists if it was not for free, if academic discounts are available.
