Kip : for managing paper archives

Sweet! My paper-archiving is still kind of half-assed. I think Kip may well prove useful as a full-assed solution.

  • No way to "select all" and "delete" all of the example stuff they add in
  • .Mac webdav based uploading, but no option for my own DAV server

While it may fill a gap for some people, my requests dont seem (that) unreasonable.

1) Command-A is Select-All as expected. Command-Delete isn't delete, though. You can drag selected items to the Trash or context/right-click and pick 'Delete' against all selected items.

2) Well, it isn't using DAV as much as just using a mounted filesystem and copying things to it. You could create a symlink for the directory it puts in ~/Documents onto any filesystem you want, DAV or no.

I think that continuing to throw things into DEVONthink is the way to go for most things, but I *really* like that little magnifier that lets you surf un-indexable documents such as handwritten notes!

I end up with a lot of things that I have to heavily tag in DEVONthink if they're not machine-indexable.

Though I guess I'm tagging things in Kip too, so I suppose ultimately I was just blinded by the nice rack on Kip. Now, the morning after, the stink of booze and cigarettes lingering in the air, I see that one day my ability to be easy impressed by glitzy things may well kill me.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
