Since break began I've been working long days, rising around 6 a.m. and reading, researching, and writing until almost midnight. I'm still jetlagged, so I take a nap in the afternoon and time off to cook and eat, but having submitted grades the other day I've been a diligent dissertation worker.
Having read a glowing review of DEVONthink Pro, a database-based information-management program, in the New York Times, I recently downloaded a trial copy of the software. When the trial period expires, I will definitely purchase the program as it has been incredibly useful for organizing my academic files. I can download academic journal articles from UIC's databases and import them into my database's organizational structures.
For a rhizomatic thinker prone to forgetting or misplacing ideas that rapidly come to mind, the software serves a crucial purpose. It helps me to reign in conceptual 'lines of flight'. I just wish I had more time to learn about and make use of all its organizational features. Perhaps I'll write about the software in a future post. For now, this Macworld review DEVONthink Pro 1.0 will have to suffice. It contains a link to the DEVONtechnologies website.
