Need to rely on 3rd-party programs/notebooks to gather

[Silverbane]

I for one would like to know why taking notes has fallen into such disfavor.

Paper is so last-century, annoying to keep track of and a pain to keep updated.

I have a nice one-page PDF with all the essential info of most of the timed nodes, that's derived from an easily-updatable Excel spreadsheet that's backed up to a remote fileserver. I have the PDF up on my third monitor when I am out gathering.

Or I sometimes use Garland Bell, but I like my compact one-page PDF better.
