Recent Stuff:

My Notebook App is my latest obsession, but Snit's Not Incr Tcl is running a close second.

I think that Scripted Documents Are Obscure, even if they are way cool. But by a miracle of timing, jcw anticipated my concern, with his new Starkit/Starpack rebadging.

Other Projects:

AKA WHD.

[email protected] asks: re: Notebook application, have you considered the time-based streams approach a la Lifestreams? If you read the Wired article or read the original student's paper on this it is quite fascinating. All "items" be they documents, email, messages, images, etc. are stored with a timestamp and can then be displayed in time order via thumbnails. You can set up streams that filter the data, and have multiple streams. So you could have a stream for email messages containing certain text, and whenever a new email message comes in that is so tagged, it will appear on the top of the heap (since it has the newest timestamp). With the builtin search capabilities and Tcl's ease of scripting it could be quite interesting.

WHD: Hmmm. I've not heard of Lifestreams, but the idea's interesting, and it would certainly be easy to list search results or other indices by timestamp instead of alphabetically. I'm not yet saving modification times on the notebook pages (heck, I've only been working on this since June 28th, and it's only July 7th, I've got a "to do" list a mile long). I'll think about it.


Actually there is a commercial version called Scopeware. Take a look at this page:

WHD: Oh, is that what it's all about? This is not really Notebook's kind of thing at all.
