Podcasting: Workflow Management Pt.3 …
My third installment in this series will focus on data management: organization, accessibility, editing and archiving.
My personal method of preparing for a broadcast is quite simple. On a daily basis, I accumulate links to articles of interest, I research subject matter that I feel would be interesting to discuss, and I log random thoughts or concepts that often surface. I must admit that until I stumbled upon JournalX, due to my less than perfect typing skills, I was manually writing things down on legal pads. Needless to say this was not the most efficient method of management. Enter JournalX …
The concept of this application is quite simple: a customizable database with three individual panes. I use the far left pane for specific Subjects. For example, vAudioFile – my media player development project. When this subject is selected, individual Entries are inserted in the top pane and they are associated with the main subject. Using the vAudioFile project as an example once again: To do … Project log … Source code … Research, etc. As you select individual entries, the main view/input pane at the bottom opens up a vast array of possibilities in reference to specific data management.
My favorite features? You can incorporate PDF files and view them page by page, embedded web browser, support for media files, text format management, and major support for database import/export and encryption. Lastly, a powerful search engine with proprietary keyword support. Simply type a keyword into the search pane drawer and your data will be referenced in the associated table view.
JournalX is offered by MacItEasy [very cool name]. The developer is very supportive, and the cost is $26 US. It’s very simple on the surface, However in my opinion this application is powerful, stable and full featured … Highly recommended.
