Add Custom Printed Pages to Your Moleskine [Webapps]

Lifehacker readers love a good Moleskine, and now the makers of the popular durable notebook have a new online tool that can print custom pages to fit perfectly into your Moleskine.

The MSK wizard (as it’s called) can create custom pages with any image or text you want, build an attractive calendar, or make your address book Moleskine-friendly. MSK produces a PDF for whichever page type you're creating that—in theory—you can easily print out onto your Moleskine pages (or maybe onto a page you'd cut out and past into your Moleskine). The webapp is new, and I ran into a few bugs when trying to import events, but overall it's a cool service for the serious Moleskine junkie. It's too bad Moleskine doesn't offer an option to print the pages and incorporate them directly into the book for you when you buy it, but we can dream, can't we?





The Guide is a Portable, Open-Source Hierarchical Note Organizer [Featured Windows Download]

Windows only: Portable note-taking and outlining application The Guide organizes your notes and projects complete with rich text in a hierarchical view.

The Guide has a similar feature set to previously mentioned ActionOutline Lite, lacking the ability to use tabs but making up for it with lighter resource usage, no restrictions on sub-items and the great price tag of free. Once installed, the preferences panel has a setting for switching the application into portable mode, which stores all settings in an INI file instead of the registry so you can copy the entire folder to a USB drive.

Enabling icons and checkboxes can be done in the preferences pane, and icons for nodes can be changed through the context menu. The Guide is a free download for Windows systems only. Thanks MarsalaAnteater!






Import the Entirety of Your Google Notebook to UberNote [Note Taking]

Previously mentioned web-based note-taking tool UberNote has just released a Google Notebook Import tool to move your Google Notebook notes into an app with a future. It’s a good bet that every note-taking tool looking to grab new users will create a similar tool (we’re looking at you, Evernote) now that Google Notebook has stopped active development, but UberNote looks like the first. Not keen on UberNote? Check out our suggestions for where to go when Google Notebook goes down.
