Been tracking all my expenses and balancing accounts for many years now. Used to use MS Money and when I migrated to Linux and I changed to Moneydance (and it imported all the MS Money data), which works on Mac OS X and Windows too. I have set out all my fixed weekly, monthly and annual payments so I know from month

I second this point of view. Although I carry a Leatherman Charge everywhere, I also value the screwdriver, toolbits, wirestripper, etc handy whenever I need it. These knives are pretty well much like only carrying say a flat screwdriver around when you may need a star point screwdriver at times. If the intention was

Pens can be used for violence too. A knife is a useful tool for most people.

Vote: Leatherman Charge TTi

A mistake with South Africa too. Zulu is not “the” official language. We have 11 official languages all with equal standing. “Most spoken” is not the same as “official”.

I’m using CF.lumen for this

I use French Roast beans and grind them just before use in my Areopress. I only use a three quarter of the Aeropress measure for a nice strong tasting cup of coffee. I have three cups a day and a 250g pack of beans is lasting me about two weeks.

Which is also the exact reason why many governments have approved open standard formats for exchanging data instead of using proprietary formats which either cost money to buy the software, or are limited to work on certain OSs, or are discontinued or changed in the future.

No I moved from a Galaxy Note tablet to a Macbook Air. Can do far more on the Macbook with same battery life (maybe even better) and same portability (fits in my Scottevest pocket).

Agreed, and even worse for spam as you can only select each one individually if you want to delete them permanently. GMail would allow you to quickly select all visible spam mails and delete that as a batch.

I'm a long time Linux and Android user and I recently ditched my Samsung ATIV Tab 5 Windows 8 machine for a Macbook Air. I'm no fan of Apple's business philosophy or phones, but the Air is not only a piece of art it is incredibly portable (fits in my Scottevest pocket), is sturdy but lightweight, has long battery

Moon+ also has cloud sync now between either GDrive or Dropbox (including downloading the book to the other devices), and also connects over WiFi to Calibre ebook manager (I keep my reading lists in Calibre and connect to quickly download the next books I plan to read).

NetGear is one of those routers with only DynDNS as a single option... problem is the ADSL modem combo' don't seem to have DD-WRT or Tomato OS versions to install. Anyone know of other firmware that can install on a ADSL modem/ router?

FitBit Flex vibrates to wake me on weekday mornings.... with clock/radio following to play 6am news and talk radio.

I'm following a low carb-high fat diet and lost 14kg in the last year. So my breakfast is just a portion of Double Cream Greek Yoghurt (non-sweetened) with a cup of coffee (no sugar). Mid morning is an apple and a hard boiled egg.

And for most Linux users, just switch to one of your alternative workspaces which will usually have a clean screen unless you had already added icons etc to it. You can switch between multiple workspaces using CTRL-ALT-left/right arrow for the GNOME based desktop flavours usually.

Also only seeing best sellers.

Not sure about the lack of polish... I've been using Linux Mint the last few years since my less than spectacular paid "upgrade" to MS Windows Vista. I've recently switched to the KDE Plasma desktop and am loving the widgets and fancy graphics. I get everything done that I need to for home use including the odd MS
