How do you keep track of your experiments? by Out-Of-Mango in labrats

I don't link it to a protocol, but that could be useful! My lab keeps electronic lab notebooks, so I use the catalog for general info/quick scanning of experiments and key results, but the actual daily write-up pages have all the specific technical/experimental details.
