ShoZu is an application that can be set to automatically send snapshots to your Evernote email address as soon as you snap the photo, and ShoZu works with a ton of different phones.]]>Jotting EvernoteIntegration2008-05-13T14:28:02-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a931c48f006192bed0152d1a24c6e1a5-11.php#unique-entry-id-11http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a931c48f006192bed0152d1a24c6e1a5-11.php#unique-entry-id-11Jott with Evernote.

The verdict? It works.. OK.

To set yourself up, simply add your unique Evernote e-mail address to your Jott contacts, and that's it.

It is probably most useful for less complex notes, but it does work. The only downside is that you get the standard Jott footer once you receive the note.]]>TUAW on Evernote 1.1 BetaNews2008-05-13T13:53:40-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a2b8a0ff8bef8e419b80bb2c2b2b6f57-10.php#unique-entry-id-10http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a2b8a0ff8bef8e419b80bb2c2b2b6f57-10.php#unique-entry-id-10Steven Sande:
I've been using Evernote for over a month now and love it -- I've sucked all of my business cards into Evernote with my iSight or iPhone camera, and use the program instead of a card file. Evernote's text recognition simplifies tagging the cards, and I can use either the Mac app, the web client, or my iPhone to look through my database. Evernote's unique focus on images makes it quite different from other information managers like Together or Yojimbo.

Damn, why didn't I think of that? I generally fixate on Evernote's superior text note management, and ignore the image processing component of it.

For me, Yep and Evernote (now that it's Mac friendly) are the killer apps for my personal data management. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to cleanly integrate my ScanSnap with Evernote.]]>Evernote 1.1 Beta for Mac ReleasedRelease2008-05-12T13:25:51-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/3a98f83f32fe1c096ec1ff5c872be4b3-8.php#unique-entry-id-8http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/3a98f83f32fe1c096ec1ff5c872be4b3-8.php#unique-entry-id-8 new improvements to the Mac Beta of Evernote:
  • PDF Support
  • Spotlight Support
  • Encryption!
  • New Views

I'd still like to see sub-notebooks and filtered tags, but these new features (especially encryption) are very welcome features.]]>Clip This: MAN Pages and HTML DocumentationClips2008-05-08T00:54:21-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a7eb0284fd2814f61b1085caef3c1c11-7.php#unique-entry-id-7http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a7eb0284fd2814f61b1085caef3c1c11-7.php#unique-entry-id-7
For example, you can download the PHP manual as a single HTML page. Open it up in a browser and use cut and paste or the Evernote bookmarklet to add it to your notes.]]>Clip This: ASCII and HTML ChartsClips2008-05-08T00:46:13-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/27c04202e8de9aca298276013536703a-6.php#unique-entry-id-6http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/27c04202e8de9aca298276013536703a-6.php#unique-entry-id-6
If you're using the browser bookmarklet (currently found here), I recommend clipping an ASCII chart like the one at www.asciitable.com. Some of you might find an HTML code chart useful too.]]>Lorem IpsumClips2008-05-08T00:35:01-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/56980b417e522a1d6cfcb4be05028b12-5.php#unique-entry-id-5http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/56980b417e522a1d6cfcb4be05028b12-5.php#unique-entry-id-5Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Of course, you can perform the same functionality with Evernote.

This is a good replacement for web apps like KnowYourStuff or StuffSafe and for the plethora of commercial home inventory apps on the market.

Notebook: Home Inventory
Note Titles: Asset Names
Tags: As you see fit
Body: Item serial number. If you have a digital camera, I would also suggest that you paste a photo of the item. If you've got a scanner, you can put a scan of the purchase receipt as well. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use Evernote's encryption here.]]>Password TrackerApplications2008-05-07T16:44:14-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/f06e85be06be00f1ed6d957a48eea7aa-3.php#unique-entry-id-3http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/f06e85be06be00f1ed6d957a48eea7aa-3.php#unique-entry-id-3
This application provides similar functionality to Pastor and KeePass.

Notebook: Password Manager
Note Titles: Site Name
Tags: Service Type (e.g., e-mail)
Body: User ID and Password. Be sure to use the encryption functionality built into Evernote.]]>Domain Information TrackingApplications2008-05-07T16:21:09-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a25cf83f09946db6edb4d665a52c570c-1.php#unique-entry-id-1http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/a25cf83f09946db6edb4d665a52c570c-1.php#unique-entry-id-1
I saw a link for a new shareware application called Domain Brain for the Mac, and there's no reason why Evernote can't handle this.

Here's my proposed structure:

Notebook: Domain Information
Note Titles: Domain Names
Tags: As you see fit
Body: All domain information, including passwords. Be sure to use the encryption functionality built into Evernote.

As time progresses, I'll be posting examples of how Evernote can be used in lieu of freeware and commercial applications.

I was using the 30 day eval of Bento, which I think is a stellar application, but then realized that the simple nature of the databases I was building in Bento could just as easily be built in Evernote, and be more easily accessed across all my various computers and devices.

For each application, I'll try to use the following convention to show you the "DNA" of an Evernote clone:

Notebook: This will be generally be the name of the application, but you are free to name it as you see fit.
Note Title: This is how I think that the title is best used.
Tags: If applicable, I'll suggest the types of words you should select.
Body: The content, or meat of the record generally goes here.

If you've got ideas for applications, use my contact form, and if I like your idea, I'll post an entry and give you credit.]]>About the Evernote SectionNews2008-05-07T14:32:51-04:00http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/32a18a296779fd4fe4676eed7291aac3-0.php#unique-entry-id-0http://www.steven-ng.com/evernote/files/32a18a296779fd4fe4676eed7291aac3-0.php#unique-entry-id-0
