I think my mood this morning could best be described by the word "melancholy". It's the "without any obvious reason" part of the word's definition that nails it. Why do I feel this way? And why do I feel a need to burden you with it?

I have nothing useful to say about ChatGPT, DALL-E, or other AI tools.

Tinderbox 9.5

Tinderbox 9.5

Eastgate has released a nice update to Tinderbox. Version 9.5 has some nifty features:

Automatically add a Prototype or Place when adding notes. Naming a note something like "John Smith#Person" will create the note titled John Smith and automatically apply the "Person" prototype. I use a lot of prototypes so this is handy

Geographic Adornments. "If any adornment has an Address, Tinderbox will figure out the corresponding latitude and longitude and display a map of the region."

Preview and Export: Sensible default templates and prototypes have been added and are configured automatically. Tinderbox's export features are deep and powerful, but can be tricky to grasp. This helps get things rolling.

View and edit multiple notes. This is great! Select a bunch of notes and then read and edit them together as one document, but they remain separate notes also.

Another useful update to one of my all-time favorite apps.
