Thank you

Friday, May 27th, 2011

We have accumulated US$200 in donations since adding the donate page. This morning I mailed off a check (along with a match from myself) to support research in hereditary spastic paraplegia.. My hope in setting up the donations page is to see enough money flowing through to this cause to rationalize purchasing Visual Studio 2010 [...]

New version of Map2Excel uploaded

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Some users uncovered a bug in the 1st version of Map2Excel that only showed up if you hadn't previously installed the ActivityOwner Tools Add-in for MindManager. It is fixed now, so if you had trouble installing, please have another go at it and report your results: http://map2excel.com

AutoSave = AutoCrash?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Working with new installations of both MindManager 8.2 and 9 recently has led me to conclude that the advice of this 2007 post still holds.

In a coment on the project management series, Charles suggested MindManager map outlining how to accomplish certain tasks with MindManager, GyroQ, ResultsManager, Outlinker, and other tools in the site.

MindManager Housekeeping with the ResultsManager Multi-Map Checker

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I recently re-installed my Windows 7 operating system and moved my "data" to a D: partition. I also store my maps in a dropbox folder, which I symbolically link into my documents folder. Between these two factors, I ended up with quite a few broken links after the migration. The ResultsManager multi-map checker has several [...]

forum.activityowner.com returns

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Back in 2007 I briefly experimented with setting up a set of discussion forums to work along side the wiki and the blog. At the time it seemed like spam was going to get out of hand, and there were better alternatives, so I turned it off. Since that time the activity levels on the [...]

Auto OutLinker

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Sometimes when faced with an inbox full of somewhat related Microsoft Outlook messages, the easiest way to proceed is to just process them all into MindManager with OutLinker and then sort them out. Steping through the messages 1 by 1 to accomplish this can be time consuming. The latest version of OutLinker has a new [...]
