'1. Be debt free Money will play into most of the choices you make. If you don't have debt, you can put less emphasis on the financial element of your decision.'

Havn't seen this stuff since leaving the US. Is there a UK equivalent?

I hope Debbie's got an effective technique for harmonising or deflecting the energy going her way. Or at least a thick skin. I am wondering just what research indicates that the alignment of papers has one or another kind of energy.

Lovely! I might have to invent something similar, as my doors already have things all round their frames. DO you think something on pulleys from the ceiling might work?

Might be a useful replacement for Whispr (which now seems to have a homonymic replacement at [whispr.net)]

5 or More for me, thanks.

When I see a cool email address like @fastmail.fm, it makes me want to check it out, and I'm grateful to the person who sports it. Same applies in reverse. When someone I care about turns up with an aol address, I want to ask them what went wrong. Usually I already know the answer, and I feel sorry that they got roped…

@geekymitch: ditto. One gmail address for all work-related stuff. If I ever thought I needed a step up from that, I'd hire a domain and use it only for email.

@longbourne: too darn right.

I'm still waiting for someone to build a desktop reader as versatile as Omea, since its own development has stalled.

I want to see a design like this with the carrying capacity and braking worked out.

I rely on Tbrd, and just this year managed to kill off the last bit of Outlook by installing GCalSync.

@FooSchnickens - Forklift Dirver Extraordinaire: I'm still looking for a simple way of doing this. Got any recommendations? I am so not going to limit my autoinstall to the apps on this list. #installer

It's an ergonomically interesting idea: put the stuff you've collected on your way in (keys, letters, milk) next to whatever you reach for after coming through the door. In some cases that'll be a coat hook. So why not hang a shower caddy from the first hook? #memory

yes to layers, caps, slippers, 10 minute bike rides, naps and fingerless knit gloves. Not all at once.

I can't remember how to bookmark an entry, nor do I see a button. So I'm doing this instead, and at least it will show up among my comments.

This outfit seems to have bit the dust.

I see some of the priciest chains listed in their catalogue, and none of the cheapest ones. I guess it saves time using kelkoo and the like.

Good tips, mostly. But there are two points that will trip people - me, mostly - up.

@Mark: And here's me thinking it's an afternoon project... aside from the cement slab you laid there.
