Goodbye Tablet PC
Posted by anirudhsaraf on July 22, 2010
After having graduated from college and getting an Ipad, my tablet has been lying abandoned in a corner. The other day I booted it up to test some Inking on the new OneNote14, only to discover that my pen had stopped working. It was then that I decided to retire my TabletPC (and with it in all likelihood this blog) and reformat and retrofit it as a Ubuntu Server.
I still love and use OneNote to save random tidbits of information, but lack of support on the Ipad and Linux is making me consider switching to Evernote. OneNote Team – can we get an Iphone/Ipad app !
As a parting gift I am releasing the source code for TreeView if anyone is interested in developing it further. I will be happy to answer questions about the code if you need help
Note: The code hasn’t been cleaned up ; was written in my sophomore/junior year in college and there are very few comments.
PS: Any emacs people interested in writing a M-x Send-To-OneNote/EverNote script ?
Update: check out my new blog (developer focused) at www.codeherb.com!

I’d heartily encourage the jump to Evernote. There are some features from OneNote that I still really miss (like really good tables, audio recording, and inking on top of presentations), and there are a few things I still do in OneNote, but for how multi-platform and freeform Evernote is, I think you’ll really like it once you get used to it.
