Scott:
Here is a compiled list of great free tools, some have been already
mentioned. I have personally used every one of these tools for different
reasons at different times. Currently I use Treepad and Cuecard. I used
freemind when I was preparing for my lab, however, I found it hard to go
back and "study" the mind-map. It didn't feel as intuitive as say, studying
flash cards, or looking at an outline of notes w/ in-line drawings. Those
are the three things I really need to study. A visual tool (dia) , a
memorization tool (cuecard) , and an outline tool (treepad).
Notes software:
1. Freemind. Mindmapping software.
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
2. iDailyDiary. Diary format notes software.

3. Keynote. Note taking software. No longer maintained, but available for
download.

4. Cuecard. Flashcard software. <-- always have used this real heavily.
http://www.download.com/3000-2051-10075304.html
5. Treepad. Excellent tree-based notes tool. <-- I use it now with
drawings I export to jpg from dia.

Diagram software
1. Network Notepad
http://www.networknotepad.com/
2. Dia <-- preferred by me

3. Inkscape

Subject: OT: Good Journal Application Or Template For Lab Notes?
> Hi all,

> Anybody know of a good journal application or template for lab notes?
