Re: [DIYbio] Electronic and other old fashioned lab notebooks in and out of formal settings

OneNote is fine if your in the Microsoft Ghetto. I've used it. It's a fine product. all this drivel: "Version 2.hsjsgj can only read Version fdfj if you have MS 10.6 or 11 or eat oatmeal, or have the Norwegian version... or: paid for for the PAYED-or-locked-out-399 version", etc. Is somewhere between distressing and amusing. Or the sadness of watching people realise, very, very slowly a spreadsheet is no way to consolidate most machine readable complicated ideas.
 
I sort of visualise a DIY movement as a leading edge of a broader base of practices generally. However, this corresp. has made me visualise a specific dichotomy. Its "DIY" somewhat equated to "loner" as opposed to formal science without exception sizable groups ? Certainly the rubber hits the road on a notebook most when one of two things happen:

• Its lost.
• Its shared.

Leaving an embedded running program in Jupyter may be a slight distraction as opposed to a passive formula for the maker(s), but its pretty instructive. I am sure of ONE thing for sure in my humble, finite life: I would rather have; Anybody's place-mat doodles and notebooks rather then any formal publishing output for any idea, whatsoever. That applies to patents or 'papers', anything. So I am in the wow ! The notebook is magic camp.

Maybe I visualize DIYers as more like moonlighters; that there daily roles are sciencey, or students of it anyway ( same thing from a content-of- head perspective, almost ).
