What is ThoughtStream? | |
ThoughtStream is a program that allows you to store information and organize
it the way your mind works -- by associations or links between ideas.
ThoughtStream is currently available for
Palm ®
connected organizers. It has been tested primarily on the PalmPilot
TM and Palm III TM models. It should also work on the new
Palm IIIx TM and Palm V TM models. I don't think it will
work on the older Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000 models.
Development of a desktop version is still in progress. It will run on
MS Windows and Un*x using wxPython.
Snapshots are available now.
ThoughtStream is Open Source Software
under the GNU GPL.

Inactivity |
7 April 2006 | |
A coworker just pointed out that this is a perfect example of a typical
sourceforge
project: The only activity in years is a post saying that I expect to
work on the project again soon. It should now be apparent that that didn't
happen. Since this site still gets a noticable amount of traffic,
I thought I should put up a note saying that this project is abandoned.

The drought comes to an end |
29 May 2001 | |
After a long hiatus, I intend to resume active development of ThoughtStream.
See the mailing list archives for more information on what I'm doing now.

ThoughtStream-PalmOS 0.4.4 released |
20 December 2000 | |
This release contains a long accumulation of bug fixes (and
documentation updates courtesy of Larry Turner), but no new
functionality. If you're using 0.4.3, it'd be a good idea to upgrade.
With this release I am discontinuing the separate
thoughtstream-palmos-source archive. If you want the source, you can
get it from CVS.

Mailing list changes |
30 August 2000 | |
Due to egroups.com's recent change in advertising policy, the ThoughtStream
mailing lists have been moved to sourceforge.net. See this page for more
information on the new lists. Archives of the old list are available
here.

I'm back |
25 June 2000 | |
I'm back in the states. See the mailing list for some musings
on the future of TS.

|
Vacation |
17 May 2000 | |
I will be in France, and therefore mostly out-of-touch with ThoughtStream,
until June 24. I will not be reading my regular email, so if you have any
questions or problems regarding ThoughtStream, ask on the mailing list and
maybe someone else will be able to help you.

New desktop release |
7 Apr 2000 | |
ThoughtStream 0.1.0 is now available. Changes include a lot of internal
reorganization and a new file format. Files saved in the old format will be
converted automatically. However, support for the old file format
will be dropped in future releases, so you should convert (i.e. open and save)
all your existing documents with this version. (Make a backup first,
in case the conversion process goes awry)

New desktop snapshot |
1 Feb 2000 | |
A new snapshot of the desktop version is now available. The interface has
been reworked, and it should now work on Windows.
|
|
New PalmOS release |
13 Jan 2000 | |
ThoughtStream 0.4.2 for PalmOS is now available. This release is basically
an accumulation of small fixes. The desktop component has not been changed;
20000108 is still the latest version.
|
|
CVS now available |
11 Jan 2000 | |
I've put ThoughtStream in CVS, for those of you who want to track the
latest changes. This is
meant for developers who are interested in working on the project; most
users should stick with the released versions. Instructions are at
SourceForge.
The module names are 'thoughtstream' for the
desktop version and 'thoughtstream-palmos' for the Palm version. Anyone can
use the anonymous access; write to me if you want full access.

New release |
8 Jan 2000 | |
I've made a lot of updates to the conduit. This version is much safer to use
than the previous one. The sync logic can handle every case I've thrown at
it without data loss (although there was some unnecessary duplication in some
cases). You can now delete ideas on the desktop (by checking the box next to
the title and pressing the trash button on the toolbar), and they will be
deleted on the handheld on the next sync (if an idea is deleted on the desktop
and modified on the handheld, then the handheld version will be copied to
the desktop). When you delete an idea, all links to that idea should also
be deleted. Both the desktop and Palm versions have been updated (to version
20000108 and 0.4.1 respectively); if you want to use the synchronization,
you'll need the new versions of both.
|
|
New release |
22 Dec 1999 | |
Desktop/Palm synchronization is finally here! It still makes some mistakes,
and
things you thought you deleted have a habit of reappearing, but it's a good
start. To try it out, you need the latest versions of Pyrite (0.9.3) and
Sulfur (0.1.3), both available from
http://pyrite.linuxbox.com, in addition to the usual requirements.
<disclaimer> If you play around with this stuff at this point, you
will lose data from time to time. Don't come crying to me when it
happens (unless you've got a good bug report (and ideally a patch ;-))</disclaimer>
Create a mind on either platform, then use the File/Spawn command on the
desktop to establish a relationship between a local file and a Palm database,
and use the Palm/Synchronize command to actually do the copying.
If you have any comments about this release, please use the mailing list
rather than the SourceForge message forums.

New address |
30 Nov 1999 | |
This page has moved to http://thoughtstream.org. Aside
from being easier to remember, this site will also allow CGI. In
addition to hosting the site, SourceForge is also providing other
features which you can see on the Project
Page.

New PalmOS release - 0.3.0 |
1 Sep 1999 | |
This release makes some changes to the data structures necessary for the
upcoming desktop synchronization. It is not compatible with data from earlier
versions unless you get the converter here.
Install the converter and TS 0.3.0 at the same time (without deleting your
old version), and run the converter exactly once before running TS. You can
delete the converter afterwards.
|
|

This release adds partial field support, the ability to set and go to your
home idea, and compatibility with LinkMaster 0.3.0.
