Feed Description: My reflections on programming with Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL... and learning how to run a business...
It was hard to resist the desire to utilize a Rails application during the process of working on my book. I got Hieraki installed the other day and copied over a lot of the work that I have been doing in another program, and am now using Hieraki for a lot of my first draft writing. As it's fairly flexible and I can access it just about any where through our vpn at Planet Argon.
O'Reilly provides a fancy MS Word template... with a fancy toolbar specific to their formating style. However, I don't want to sit in front of my laptop to work and working in Word just isn't my ideal scenario. So, I am doing most of my work in Hieraki first and then transferring it to Word and formating it to their style. (no, the template doesn't work in OOo...sigh)
The reason that I like Hieraki is that it is allows me to get content into the system really quickly. I was considering a wiki for all my research work, but Hieraki seems to be doing exactly what I needed.
