I basically just start a Google dig on the plant, comparing people's notes and trying to drum up any debates or discrepencies. I get my background information from all over. Now, if they'd just make my laptop waterproof so I could do it in the bath, I'd be perfectly content. I'm one of those people who feels more rested from an afternoon fine tuning my iTunes files than an afternoon at the spa. Denise I do have a creepy love affair with data and databases. kidsandcats Great find! I'll be curious to hear how this ends up handling for you guys. bananas LOL I'm sure we can work out some kind of way for our Macs to interface, if we can work out a way for your cupcakes and I to interface. It's designed to be kind of like having a virtual tackboard for every character or theme (or in this case, Hoya specimen.) It does export, but not as prettily as DL.

I've been toying with the idea of switching to a program that I use for writing, which allows you to link any number of supporting documents from multiple pictures to pdf files to spreadsheets, to your subject. If someone has found something that works better, I'm always scouting for something new. However, each plant has, (now) as the bare minimum, a complete entry about how I acquired it and its light/temperature/water preferences. There is some variation on how much of this information I have for any given plant, as you can see from the entry shown in this old picture. General notes (disputes over identification, detailed information about natural habitat, interesting tidbits, etc. Size at acquisition (cutting, small plant, established plant)ġ3.

Naturally, it also does all the stuff you would expect of Excel, allowing me to look at my collection as a series of sortable columns, so, come winter, I can sort by heat preference, and get a short list of all the plants I need to worry about keeping warm.ġ0.

It exports very easily to xcel, txt file, and even html, making it easy to quick update my GW profile or send a trader a current version, while controlling which categories they can or cannot see. new paragraph, indent, bold font), which makes my notes section look like a badly edited newspaper column. It does not encourage rich text formatting (e.g.

I'd like to be able to include yearbook photos of my own plant as well as a representative photo of someone else's mature specimen.ģ. You cannot associate more than one photograph with the entry.

There are a lot of categories, and only the ones you are currently using are visible.

You cannot create your own categories, or edit the names of existing categories. There are three major downsides to 'Delicious Library':ġ. It just isn't intended for that kind of utilization. I suppose you could keep individual tabs for each plant and then create a set of overview tabs that pulled data from the others, but it's still kind of wonky for the amount that I intended to record. I did consider using Excel, as I do a lot of work with Excel and know all its hidden treasures, but it's hard to include text paragraphs and photos without it becoming cumbersome to thumb through. I was looking for was a program that had the ability to house the information I need to track, including photos, and could easily export to other shareable formats. It took me years to find a recipe database I was happy with, and I actually considered using that program to house my Hoyas, but DL won out.
