iPad: NoteShelf

Tried another notes taking application, one called ‘Noteshelf‘. Good, but it didn’t make the cut compared to my current “NotesPlus.

NotesPlus & Noteshelf

NotesPlus & Noteshelf

It brings interesting perspective on features I’ve become accustomed to, such as the “automatic roll-forward”, the zoom section and the “palm rest”. It also shows innovation in the way notebooks are presented to you (bookshelf)… It’s way cleaner and more beautiful than NotesPlus ways.

However, the smaller paper ‘space’ – I’ve grown to like the ‘very big pages’ of NotePlus – alongs with the facts that my configuration settings (such as the Zoom configurations) aren’t kept between each application restart made the application look a bit less polished than NotesPlus.

I’m still waiting with impatience for the new NotesPlus version thought. We’ve been promised much in term of a new, better, GUI.

Apple in the Sun ; I feel like an Oracle.

Ok,

After a title like that, I’m going to let you down with a very bad news:

Apple cans the ZFS integration project.

I’m really not happy about that, but we can’t do much about it. This is very weird because, last week, I drafted a post about ZFS & XSAN2. It was about my expectation for the world of ‘integrated’ filesystem… guess they are a bit lower now.
