A few of us at work have started using Microsoft One Note.  All I can say is so far it is the best collaboration software I have used.  Near real time changes.  You can be working on a document in a tab and you can see the changes that someone else from the team is making as their One Note syncs with yours.  You can add files, pictures, documents, etc to the page while adding notes to the page.  We now use it for projects and meeting notes.  One thing I really like is I can go offline and then once I am back online it syncs all the changes I made and any change other people have made.  You then can also have a personal notebook to keep your work seperate.  You can password protect areas or notebooks also.  Who knew I would like a Mirosoft product so much?

I am sitting here on my main desktop writing this.  On one tab of FireFox I have my Facebook open.  On the next tab I have this page open.  I have my uTorrent runningin the background.  My laptop sits next to me with a VPN connection in to work.  I am running scripts and adding accounts in to group and verifying that the servers got the correct grouping.  My IDS is humming along.  My ESXi server is pumping out the heat as the server tries to keep the 8 processors cool.  I have 4 IM windows up on the laptop and 3 chat windows in facebook.  I have 7 command prompt windows pinging servers asking them if they are still up.

It is now 1:35am and I have been up since 5:30am the day before.  No worries, I got my energy drink (Monster Khaos).  Odds are I will be in to work between 9 and 10am.  Why?  Because I have 40 tickets to complete and more to be assigned.

Such is the life of a geek.
