I am taking a forced break from the TCEA conference to get the heat fixed in my hotel room. I think it was a good idea, as I am going through my notes and papers and organizing things. That might not happen at all if I had not had to get this blasted thing fixed.
Those of you who know me well, know I hate paper. In fact, I’ll probably leave every bit of it behind. I also hate using a pen or pencil.
I carried my iPod and Windows Phone 7 all week.
There were two apps available for the conference (besides, the planner, which by the way has been opened once). One was an iPhone/iPod App and the other was an web based app ( there was also an Andriod app but I don’t’ do that).
The iPhone app was very buggy and lost my information. The web based app worked really well. What I did was to select every session I thought was interesting via the web on a real computer, then removed the ones from the schedule I didn’t go to. When I got done, there you go, a trail of where I’d been. — See http://www.kweaver.org/cs/2011/02/i-have-been-at-tcea-since-tuesday-morning-and-alfredtwo-was-a-bit-disappointed-i-havent-blog-if-he-sees-the-schedule.html
I have also been taking notes with One Note. I loved 2007 and got away from it, because I like to keep OneNote in the cloud and I didn’t have a way of doing that. NOW, it’s up there. If you ever want to share a notebook with me, let me know. I sent one to Alfred and he probably wasn’t pleased with me.
I had the side conference meetings on One Note and could look them up with either the device.
By the way, One Note Mobile is lovely. There are things to like on each the iPhone Side, and the Windows Phone 7 side.
I haven’t used all the features, but being able to take notes, send them to the cloud and organize them later is fabulous!
Back to loving One Note again.
