A few weeks ago we got contacted by Frederick Sarran from Scotland trying to raise funds for Balnagask Court in Torry, Aberdeen, a complex for Adults with Learning Disabilities (ALD) and Mental Health issues. From his website: My name is Frederick Sarran, Support Worker and student for a Master in Autism, and I will cycle around 450 miles during 11 days in August 2013, all around Scotland (Aberdeen, Highlands, Inverness, Loch Ness, Perth, Fife, Dundee, etc…) in support of the donations for...

Der Schlupfkrabbler ist wieder in seiner Höhle
Dank tatkräftiger Mithilfe von Ihnen, unseren deutschsprachigen Anwendern, haben wir den vor zwei Wochen auf unserer Webseite versteckten Hinweis auf Die Drei Fragezeichen gefunden: Auf der Seite zu DEVONsphere Server machte der Schurke aus unserem „Crawler“ sehr bildhaft übersetzt einen „Schlupfkrabbler“. Dieser ist jedoch eindeutig keine Software. Eher Hardware: Es handelt sich um einen der Mobimechs aus Folge 119, „Der geheime Schlüssel“. Vielen herzlichen Dank für die zahlreichen Hinweise, die hierzu in den vergangenen Tagen bei Inspektor Cotta in Rocky...
Wir wurden gehackt!
Das musste ja passieren: Wir übersetzen mühselig unsere Webseite ins Deutsche und kaum sind wir fertig, bekommen wir in unserer Zentrale einen anonymen Anruf, der uns verkündet, dass man uns einen Streich gespielt habe. Irgendwo auf unseren neuen deutschsprachigen Seiten versteckt sich jetzt anscheinend ein Hinweis auf einen bekannten Fall der drei nicht ganz unbekannten, ewig jugendlichen Detektive aus Rocky Beach, Kalifornien, der drei Fragezeichen! Aber wo? Deshalb bitten wir Sie um Ihre Mithilfe: Finden Sie den Hinweis, man uns in unsere Seiten hineingehackt hat und...

Where does the name DEVONtechnologies come from?
No, we don’t have a founder named Devon. And we’re not from Devon, United Kingdom, Europe. The name actually comes from the Devonian period: “Devonian (after Devon County, England), the geologic period from 410 to 360 million years ago. Also called the Reptile Age or Age of Fishes. First amphibians appeared on the land, that until then was only inhabited by trees and other plants — it was the departure into a new age.” So the Devonian was the time...
It’s a dangerous life in Brown County, Indiana
As some of you may know Bill DeVille, our support hero, lives in a log cabin near Nashville, Indiana, USA. And while you might think that’s a peaceful place, it is not always. Here’s what Bill copied from the Sheriff’s log this morning: July 13, 9:06 a.m.: Caller on Greenbriar Lane reports she heard gunshots then people walking, now sounds like construction of some type, but she is afraid to leave residence to check. 9:29 a.m. Caller advising disregard officer....

Status update on DEVONthink To Go
It’s been a while since we released an update for DEVONthink To Go. A developer left our company, slowing down our development pace. We have now taken up again on it and have already seeded version 1.1 to our beta team. Version 1.1, which we hope to submit to Apple in about two weeks, will include e.g. the possibility to record voice and video notes, show labels and flags in all lists, and fix a large number of reported bugs.
Visiting with Joe Kissell
Just before Christmas Joe Kissell, the author of Take Control of Getting Started with DEVONthink 2, Take Control of Your Paperless Office and many other great books, called and told me that he would be driving from his home in Paris, France, to Nürnberg, Germany. He managed to make a pit-stop and we managed to have lunch at the Rossknecht, a traditional German-cuisine restaurant here in Bietigheim-Bissingen, right in the middle of the busy Sternlesmarkt Christmas market. It was a great...
