Any distributed version control system (DVCS) will do the job here, so I'd recommend to choose one that is easy to learn and use. For that purpose I'd recommend Bazaar . The Emacs ‘vc’ mode works correctly with Bazaar repositories (as well as others, I believe). Of course, if you're *already* familiar and happy with a DVCS, use that. > > My other idea capture and note taking tool are 3 x 5 inch system > > cards.

I keep my 3×5in cards in a specialied wallet, which I found advertised for the purpose of holding a portable hard drive and a screwdriver (presumably for computer professionals to carry a diagnostic and repair kit). The dimensions were perfect for a stack of cards and a comfortable pen, so I bought it on that basis and have been very happy with it for several years of constant use. -- \ “Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the | `\ occurrence of the improbable.” —Henry L.
