I've been experimenting with software since I've started flowing on a computer again at camp.

I don't know if it's just because I get lazy with paper, I'm OCD about neatness, or something else but I find that I'm much more efficient flowing on a computer.

Anyhoo, I found that the Excel template Julian Switala posted on her website worked best for me. I tried out Synergy too while I was at Kentucky and tried flowing one of the Fellow's rounds and believe me, I wouldn't have caught as much if I wasn't flowing on the computer.

Does anyone have any particular software/template/timer they enjoy?

And to think the level of awesomeness was capped at the "iDebate" App.

If anyone still uses Excel to flow, VBD has this macro:
