Same here! I mostly use README files combined with a suitable |
| 21 |
directory structure in addition to a good old paper lab |
| 22 |
notebook. I also use cvs/subversion to keep track of changes |
| 23 |
to scripts, analysis routines, data files, and for paper writing. |

The only decent and usable electronic notebook I've seen |
| 26 |
is notetaker, which, unfortunately, is only available on OS X. |
