Fulton - Women "Miniflat" Auto Open&Close 101 Folding Umbrella - Black

I find that most hotels and so on will be able to give you a toothbrush and toothpaste if you ask, but finding a moisturiser that your skin is happy with can be rather harder.

This also works with scarves and similar. I had all the rings on one hangar in my last place - meant it was easy to get all of the tops out in one go to see what I could choose from! Sadly now I barely have enough space to hang more than a few dresses so nearly everything is folded.

In addition to 52 weeks of cooking on Reddit there is also 52 weeks of baking! I'm taking part in that when I can (i.e. when I get back to my place and have a kitchen). http://www.reddit.com/r/52weeksofbak… is the link, and week 1 looks so delicious :D

My problem is that I only discovered today that there's a new beta for Mavericks Safari (it completely broke with the update), and apparently that's been out for 2 weeks but didn't update itself. Can anyone suggest any alternatives?

Bah, ignore this please!

I did, I just wanted to read the lifehacker article first and assumed that the link was there because it was supposed to link to said article ;)

The link to Disk Diag gives me a Kinja error?

If you're using real butter and want to spread it while it's still cold use a fork. Very handy when you forgot to take it out of the fridge beforehand!

What are your personal favourite travel and packing hacks? :) And any pet peeves?

I recently bought a new printer (my uni insists on assignments being handed in in paper form!) and made the decision to get one with an auto duplexer and a ADF on the top - which can duplex too. It's an Epson but it seems to have been fine with everything I've thrown at it so far! I wanted a ScanSnap but it was…

I've been using Broomstick [www.macupdate.com] which I found on MacUpdate a few days ago - it's free but doesn't seem to be able to hide many applications at all (Dropbox and Spotlight in my case).

As a warning to people it does crash, a lot. I did this 3 days ago and the same with Photoshop Touch. iPhoto works quite well but I got used to memorising what I was doing to when it crashed I could re-do my steps. On the other hand I now know how it works pretty well ;)

I just made my wireless network invisible, it has a short easy name, an easy to remember sentence password, and no-one can see it. After connecting my roommate's netbook (he uses ethernet on his main PC) I can completely forget about it even being there. As a bonus no-one ever visits and asks to connect to my wifi any…

I use Batch Rip Automator [forums.macrumors.com] to get the information for all of my TV and Movie files, from there it goes into iTunes where I use TuneSpan to keep them on a different HDD.

I can be sort of messy, my room tends to look like a bomb's hit it during the week but I make a point of going through everything and tidying up on Fridays and I have a deal with my roommate which is basically "if it's my turn to do X chore tell me to do it when you want it done", which means for example I know that…

I have a slipcase and sometimes the bumper on my iPhone 4 - the bumper is only on the phone when I leave the house as I tend to dock it at home (and it's too big), but I sure was glad that it had it when the phone jumped out of my hand in the carpark the other day! A colleague did exactly the same thing but without a…

Unfortunately I don't have System Preferences in my dock - I only have applications that are running, but that's a good tip too :)

2 alternatives:

I use GTD combined with the Pomodoro technique (just timing for working/breaks) and don't break the chain for new habits I'm trying to form. It sounds complicated but I have very few contexts for GTD which makes life a lot easier.
