How do I get and store all my electronic information? |
Yesterday
I wrote about my pdf-overload and how I am coping with that. Today I will write about other sources information that I want to store or want to be alerted to. I use:
*) Evernote to store extracts from webpages with the accompanying link. Before using Evernote I used Google Notebook. But since there are rumours that Google stops supporting Notebook I switched to Evernote. I must say that I liked Notebook better. One of the reasons for that is that I also use Google Reader. I also would like to have the opportunity to work offline, but I did not yet find a solution for that.
*) Google Reader to read my RSS-feeds. Not so long ago I had over a thousand RSS-feeds but I removed them all and started all over again. Nowadays I have approx. 25 feeds I read. I also created RSS-feeds for Pubmed for deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Below you can find a video about creating a RSS-feed for a pubmed search term.
*) Twitter to obtain information before it is even published on one of the weblogs. Since google reader does not yet(?) support some kind of alert if a new message arrives, Twitter gives me alert if something new is posted. But I am not yet a fervent Twitterer.
*) I almost never use the favorites of my browser. Google Chrome automatically remembers the websites I visit the most. For other websites I just type the URL or I use google to find the url.
*) I installed WordPress on my Asus EEEPC with linux. I also installed a webserver with mysql. This allows me to take notes during discussions in places where no (wireless) internet is available. These spots still exist in the Netherlands.
As you can see I still use several software packages to store my information. Ideally, I want to store all the information in one place.
