NoteCase For Those Case Notes and Outlines

While I was surfing for something to create a task type list I came across this software NoteCase note manager. It can be found here. Here is there brief description from there site:

NoteCase is a hierarchical note manager (aka. outliner). It helps you organize your everyday text notes into a single document, with individual notes placed in the tree-like structure (each note can have its sub-notes, ...). To ensure your privacy, encrypted document format is supported, along with standard unencrypted format. Project is free and open source.

After choosing which version to download (I went with the Windows portable version so I can take it with me) and installing it I started to play around with it. Now this is a pretty cool open source project. What it allows you to do is to create a outline (series of expandable nodes) and add text, pictures, links and attachments to each node. You can add a date time entry and also cross out entries as you create them. If saving your file encrypted is an option you want you can do that also. You can even export into html, text and even an executable. If you want to use another language other then English you have your choice of 33 other languages. I blogged last year about TiddlyWiki and how it was nice to have something to carry with you to take notes and so forth and I would rate this product right up there with TiddlyWiki, especially since it does so many languages (looking at where you readers are I can see where the other languages would come in handy).

Thoughts/comments/questions?

A Tiddly Wiki Travel Notebook

How many times have you been on site somewhere and not had access to the Internet and wanted to get some small piece of information that you can't quite remember but know where to look for it on the net. Well TiddlyWiki can come to the rescue. Here is a excerpt from there website:

a free MicroContent WikiWikiWeb created by JeremyRuston and a busy Community of independent developers. It's written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript to run on any modern browser without needing any ServerSide logic. It allows anyone to create personal SelfContained hypertext documents that can be posted to a WebServer, sent by email or kept on a USB thumb drive to make a WikiOnAStick. Because it doesn't need to be installed and configured it makes a great GuerillaWiki. This is lastest version is 2.1.3, and is published under an OpenSourceLicense.

I have added some information to a TiddlyWiki to get anyone who downloads it started. I tried to enter some tiddlers (name given to a unit of microcontent) with examples of how you can use it to try and give you a leg up. It can be saved from the following link

Now for the challenge. How much information do you think that we can put in this wiki and help spread our knowledge to each other. If you would like to help out on this little project you can email me @ Mark.McKinnon@sbcglobal.net (Put "Forensic Wiki" in the subject) with your entries and I will put them in the wiki with the proper credit to you.
