Working offline with notes/outliners

(Yes, offline, in my own computer. No webtwopointoh extravaganza.)
Anyone of you lifehackers who have any experince using this kind of software. Any recommendations?

I have been trying a couple of softwares for handling my GTD lists, projects, notes and other bits and pieces I find on the web. Something that can handle the various types of data, and produce nice printouts/exports when I need too present the status of my various projects.

TaoNotes was nice but would be even more useful if it had a proper documentation. It is also a bit bloated since it tries to be several things at once. ConnectedText is really good, but I want HTML support. Its not enough with Wiki markup. I am currently using UltraRecall which so far has met my expectations. It also has an open data structure, so I for could for example add a "@Context" field to my Tasks.

So, any other recomendations?

There's also a wiki system...

There's also a wiki system that works from within Emacs, called, natch, EmacsWiki. :)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
