Seth's Notebook




I've been using Google Notebook for a couple of days now and it has served to enhanse my failing memory. It is superior in some senses to my bookmarking behaviors in FireFox where i had been creating a very large set of bookmarks structured down to 3 or 4 heirachies and ordered as a push down list. That system had problems (1) it was subject to being lost if something went wrong with fire fox ... that has already happened several times (2) it is not full text searchable (3) i cannot easily highlight portions of text from different pages. Notebook solves, for me, all three of those problems. I'll continue to use this new tool and keep you apprased of how it is working for me.

I don't look at nobebook as a publishing/dialogue place ... rather as a quick cut and paste place ... as such it is much faster ... count the mouse strokes. Lots of times i dont want to make any public comment on something ... but i may want to consider it in context of other things i am looking at and perhaps (perhaps not) comment on it later ... in those cases just bookmarking it has a very limited ability because you can't easily select out the text of the item that drew your attention ... but with google notebook you can.

Was I just too sensitive in interpreting your phrase "...shut your mouth & go do something" perhaps?





Btw, i am a hunter gatherer with no apologies ... i call it awareness. Everything in your mind is a relationship and not a fact, if you want facts shut your mouth and go do something. For me, being aware is a prerequisite for doing something ... which unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) i perpetually procrastinate



I get that you are moving "away from being a hunter-gatherer to a creator & innovator" espccially as you have just noted it in 6831 on which i may comment later. And obviously (though perhaps not to you yet) i respect such a move aboslutely. But at the same time i make no apologies for my own hunter gather behavior. Can you not see that is not a critizism of your current intent?
Btw, everything in your mind is a relationship and not a fact. That may just be a semantic confusion between us or it may be a real difference in philosophical choice ... but in any case it was not brought up with the intention of showing that i am right and you are wrong. "Doing is how facts are created" ... think about it ... if you disagree then perhaps we could discuss it on its's own item.
My Google Notebook is panning out to be a useful tool. One thing i am trying is using it to sanitize wild html selected from the web to paste in my blog instead of using windows Notepad ... I'll let you know how it pans out ... 7208 was made that way. One problem that i have not totally groked is that Google Notebook seems to be just making a larger and larger page ... that was not my intention ... i would much prefer them ageing the stack into multiple pages ... perhaps there is some way to do that but i have not discovered it yet.


Google recently stopped development on Notebook, which means it is no longer being improved upon or open to sign-ups by new users.
If you're visiting notebook for the first time, instead try exploring other Google products that are still supported. For example, if you're trying to jot down some quick notes or create a document that you can share with others, check out Google Docs. And Google Bookmarks lets you remember web pages that you liked and access them easily.
