Fill in Gaps in Pear Note

If you ever find yourself zoning out during a meeting or class, only later to realize that you forgot to take notes for 20 minutes, Pear Note makes it easy to fill in those gaps. To do so:

  1. Open your Pear Note document.
  2. Hit play.
  3. Click on the last text you did type to jump to that point in the recording.
  4. Click the lock to unlock the text of the note.
  5. Take notes on the part you missed.

Your new notes will be synced to the recording just as if you'd taken them live with the rest of your notes.

Swoop to Victory

Swoop to Victory -- If you don't suffer from repetitive strain injuries and need an excuse to play more video games, check out Swoop, a $15 shareware program written by David Wareing and distributed by Ambrosia Software. Given my (mostly better) tendonitis, I could not play Swoop for long, but it appears to live up to Ambrosia's description as "a fast vertical shoot 'em up arcade game for the Macintosh in which you battle 3D-rendered aliens with a variety of powerful weapons."

Ambrosia Software has announced a High Score Contest wherein the player achieving the highest Swoop score by 01-Dec-95 will be awarded $300; the second- and third-highest scoring contenders will win $100 and $50 respectively; and the top fifty players will win t-shirts. To enter you must be a registered user of Swoop, and have at least Swoop version 1.0.1. You can find out more about the contest in a document called "Swoop Contest PR.text," which is installed along with Swoop when you run the Swoop installer. [TJE]
