Not tried this new “FreeMind” mind-mapping software yet – I remember being very disappointed with Mind Manager, the net topologies you could create were far too simple – but I’m on the look out for something new.
Interesting given my Pirsig interests, and the fact I blogged way back that “Pirsig was a Blogger“, that the owner of the FreeMind site also refers to Pirsig – specifically the way he used index cards to marshall his thoughts when writing his second book Lila – not just cards with subjects and thoughts, but meta-cards with processes and relationships for handling other cards. I saw it as very blog or wiki-like the moment I read it.
I use tiddlywiki as my ‘white-cards’. You should give it a look.
good luck
Thanks for that. I have looked at Tiddlywiki … it looks good for this purpose I agree … unfortunately I’ve not taken the idea any further yet.
