Just a little tweaking

This time, I'm tweaking the title of the blog. I wanted to make it a bit more specific. My focus really is Palm based, so why not just say it?

Anytime I want to change my system now, I try to analyze what is driving it. Sometimes I will let myself install a program, just to look at it, and then remove it when I realize I don't need it. Most of the time, I want to change things because I'm not doing a good review and I have things that are not in my system.

I am considering getting rid of Mac Notetaker again. It's a good program but....the find function in it is lousy. Because it's a proprietary database, ptools find doesn't really work in it. So I have reference material in it that I try and search and it doesn't give me what I want. And that brings us back to the usual choices. I could go with WordSmith, but I've never really liked that program (and there's no rational reason for this.) I will probably go with pedit, even though I'm very fond of PSmemo. I have a Palm with a 4k memo limit. I need to keep longer documents in it. I have all my troubleshooting notes for work in a document that I can't easily search. The problem with that change is that PSlink doesn't work as well for linking in pedit. And that means I may also have to reinstall Acrowiki. I don't have a lot of links, but I do want to be able to link a few things. It just makes things more complex.

My old system used to be ToDo+ with pedit and that's always a possiblity. I'm not ready to make a change that major without thinking it through. I have a real need to focus right now. We have decided on a five year plan, to put together enough money to full time in an RV and travel a bit. It will involve a lot of planning to make it happen and there are lots of unrelated things to clear up in that time. My system needs to be rock solid for this and I don't want to keep shifting it around.
