Useful Free itemsFree printer cartridgeDo you need a new printer cartridge?... Freemind (free!)Freemind is a free open source tool to organize your thoughts and ideas. It is an exceptional way of organizing information - its like using bookmarks on steroids. Its a graphical tool so you can visualise sets of information easily.Download : download it here. It works like this - you add nodes to a main node (or 'mind map'). each node is a piece of text that you can write anything into. You can write additional notes for each node and/or link the node to a web page. Grahical organizationBecause the node structure is graphical you can organize information easily in groups that make sense to you e.g. you can write the titles for a book structuring it refining the main headings or you could write a list of items for your next project e.g. a buying list etc.IconsYou can also add icons to each node - which you can use to mean anything e.g. finished (a tick), not ready (a flag) etc.Oh yes, you can make up maps that have other maps embedded in them and graphically close or open each node/sub nodes. So you can easily focus on the information you want to see. TutorialThere is a good video tutorial here along with instructions on downloading etc. Again - the tool is free! You have to sign up for the newsletter to see the video or you can just download it hereNote: The tutorial gives a flavor of what it can do but you really have to use it to see how powerful it is.
