ooSooM How I Use It and Why

During the development of ooSooM Version 2 I have been using ooSooM to organise my documents and files as well as manage and document its own development. Now that ooSooM 2 is stable and has been released I have bit the bullet, blown the dust off my Credit Card and upgraded my Dropbox account to 50Gb of storage. My strategy for my information, files and documents , basically my whole ‘digital life’, going forward is to simplify everything, whilst also increasing reliability and redundancy.

To achieve this I have started off by using ooSooM to store my Todo Tasks and Projects as well as store all my reference information. In addition to this, using the Attachment features of ooSooM version 2 I have also stored all my important images, documents, excel files, mp3 files and movies within ooSooM.

I then moved all my R10Office databases to my Dropbox folder. My customers, prospects, suppliers and all associated history are now all together in my Dropbox folder. I have upgraded my account for increased storage and activated the ‘Pack-Rat’ option, which effectively gives me unlimited document rollback.

dropboxupgrade

The reason for choosing Dropbox is that Dropbox gives me a remote, synchronised backup of my information, folders and files. This allows me to use one of several computers (or my iPhone) to access my information, knowing that it will be synchronised and always available.

Dropbox works by uploading a copy of your designated Dropbox folder to the Dropbox server. This is done automatically and in the background. I have no connection with Dropbox other than as a satisfied customer and long time user of their free service.

The screenshots below give you an idea of the kind of information I am storing within ooSooM. Information that is now all safely (and automatically) backed up and synchronised for me without any effort on my part Happy

Oh, and Happy Holidays to everyone.

It’s perhaps a bit much to expect ‘peace on earth’ but that won’t stop me wishing for it.

Read the screenshot. That’s all it does. Really Happy

Both the Mac OSX and Windows versions can be downloaded from
here.

I needed this utility and I needed a break from coding R10Office and the associated decisions regarding installation, trial versions etc. etc. JustWrite was the result of this couple of hours rest from R10Office. I hope other people find it useful.

New Product Release: ooSooM

Today I released my latest product: ooSooM.

ooSooM is a Todo Management and Secure Digital Filing System for Macintosh OSX and Microsoft Windows.

The idea behind ooSooM is simple. To get on with the job in hand you need to get thoughts of what needs doing and what needs remembering out of your head and safely and securely logged, in a way that means you can find them later when needed. Bits of paper are so yesterday Happy

ooSooM does not attempt to force a predetermined 'methodology' on you, rather it's very free format and open allowing you to use it however you like, but with enough structure to ensure that once logged, information can retrieved easily and readily.

ooSooM is
Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard compatible.

ooSooM is supplied FREE OF CHARGE for PERSONAL USE.

One of the unique features of ooSooM is that if you have an
R10Cipher license then Todo or Vault items within ooSooM can be Encrypted / Decrypted on an individual basis. This allows you to use ooSooM to store confidential information such as Passwords, Serial Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, Bank Details Etc.

Another unique feature of ooSooM is that it integrates directly with
ContaX, our CRM package. This means that Todo items and Vault items can be linked to particular Customers, Suppliers or Contacts. This link can be seen both from within ooSooM and within ContaX.

You can see some pictures of ooSooM below, and you can view the Getting Started Guide
here.
