Tomboy, Notes for Web Developers

Have you seen those persons that stick post-its on the borders of their computer screens? I know this is just too much but you know what they say about images and words. Sometimes they are ocassional users that use their boxes for simple stuff and I guess they find the whole post-it thing normal but, for a web developer managing so many pieces of data everyday, this is just a cause of disorder. Why using paper when there's software for taking notes?

During my years as a KDE user I was ok with Knotes, now a component of KDE Kontact, but a few months ago I made the jump from KDE on Fedora to Gnome on Ubuntu. Using a KDE app on Gnome didn't seem right so I moved all my notes to Tomboy and boy it was an excellent choice!

Tomboy comes pre-installed with Feisty Fawn and integrates perfectly with your desktop. It's very easy to create notes, link (wiki style) and search them.

I use Tomboy all day, everyday, to save pieces of code, SQL queries, simple reminders (for things needing immediate attention, for everything else there's Evolution) or any other thing requiring a paper and a pen, items that I hope to eliminate from home as soon as possible.

Thanks to Tomboy my desk is free of papers, just got gadgets on it.
