Evernote


Once again, this looks like a good piece of software, very useful and functional, especially for people like me who are prone to forget things, especially the more mundane things. Once again, we’re back to the same old problem of it not being available on my Trust network. They have a ban on online storage systems, which I remember from the fight I had to get my Skydrive unblocked.  I may just have to use it at my other trust site, which is far more open about what you can log into, or even access. However, this kind of takes away the point of having Evernote! I suppose I could use it to remember things for when I get home without having to send myself masses of emails and clogging up my inbox, though. I’d just have to remember to check it when I go home each day.

Having used it a little bit more now, I can immediately see its uses. I’m now bemoaning even more my inability to reach a lot of stuff online because of Trust rules. It could be very useful for reminding me to do things between sites, as well as reaching information from home and even sending information from home to work. I wonder if I could build up a business case to get it unblocked, to be used alongside my Skydrive?

  2. Hi Katrina! I've been writing since my teens. I've mainly written sci-fi, but whatever ideas I have, I tend to go with. I'm currently working on my first novel, which is fantasy/horror (based in the real world, but with demons). I also write diary entries for myself.
