Sensible Erection | Freemind - free mind mapping software

Saturday, 30 October 2004

For anyone who has ever wanted to make some notes about an upcoming project or something, but cannot find a good, elegant way to write it down in a heirarchy without resorting to something kludgy like UML, this seems really neat. Try out the demo here if you want to see what it does before downloading it. (Java required) I was pretty impressed.

According to the most recent Discover issue, the Fungi category in the thumb should be located on the other side, just above Animals on its branch.

whatever happend to pencil and paper?

pen and paper is good, (good? excellent) initially, but when the idea swells into a large monster of a logical thinking, changing and _structuring_ it isn't very easy or convenient anymore.

Another interesting free tool package is Graphviz. I have used it a bit, and some documentation tools also use it, e.g. Doxygen.

although I don't really love Java apps, this one looks quite good.

For something slightly similar, you can take a look at Personal Brain (personalbrain.com, probably).
