Bugs in QuickSilver B52 (3813) - re: Leopard? TextExpander?Micah Diamond | Oct 30 2007Has anyone else been experiencing (more than normal) buggy behavior with QuickSilver B52 (3813) recently? The two culprits which may be related to and/or may be causing this excessive buggy-ness may be either my recent installation of Leopard, or my recent installation of TextExpander... By buggy behavior, let me give you a couple examples...recently the Quicksilver clipboard history has been popping up sparatically without being triggered...this happens regularly - like once every ten minutes or so, and needless to say, its been a brutal side-effect... read more »3 Comments

Site flatulence being treatedMerlin Mann | Jan 18 2006The randy clusters of zeroes and ones which power the index cards which run the servers which make the 43 Folders blog come to your home computer set have apparently decided to unionize without telling anyone. Consequently, I suspect a wildcat strike may be behind a lot of the unreliable site behavior in the last day or so. So it goes. I’m on it. I have bought the zeroes and ones an ice-cold keg of Miller Lite to keep them occupied while I’m upgrading to WordPress 2 and spinning the giant wheel that decides which of the 1400 or so plugins I have are now incompatible with each other. Yay, Wednesday! I rule. Anyhow, I’ll post again here when I get things straightened out, but things are very likely to break intermittently (read: a lot) throughout today, so it won’t offend me at all if you want to go take a nice walk, do a bit of correspondence, or perhaps teach a small child how to make a pirate hat out of a newspaper. Of course, you can still drop by the wiki, the board, or the store; they’re still non-unionized, work for hard candy, and are just happy to have a warm place to sit. See you on the other side. One hopes. Edit 2006-01-18 08:42:58: Oh. And apparently MacSlash linked here this morning, too, I now learn. I think I need more coffee. Edit 2006-01-18 11:40:15: OK, I think things are mostly stabilized for now. You'll still hit little problems, but we're steadily up. Special thanks to Bryan and Ben at A2 Web Hosting. They continue to rule. More soon. Edit 2006-01-19 10:58:50: Huzzah. We're 90+% back. We now return you to your regularly scheduled life hackery (with thanks for your patience with our awkward growing pains). POSTED IN:
Wheres the RSS-Feed for the Forum?Zettt | Sep 21 2007Hi, With the introduction of the new (and great looking !) 43folders Homepage it seems that the RSS-Feed for the Forum was swiped away. Could anyone tell me if it still exists, please? I used it to keep track of new forum posts and liked it a lot. Thanks for your help. Zettt POSTED IN:
How to keep a consistent weekly reviewChris Bowler | Feb 7 2008Greetings ninjas I have spent the last year trying the various ideas\themes that Mr. Allen listed in his book. And with the help of great resources like 43Folders, a lot of those ideas have helped me stay organized, accomplish goals and have reduced my overall stress. But there is one GTD concept I have struggled with consistently. And that is keeping a regular weekly review. And no matter what kind of system (paper or electronic etc), no matter how efficient that system, without a regular weekly review, the system quickly loses it usefulness. Then I stop trusting the system, my stress rises, and I start figuring out how to make a better system (another problem all of it's own). read more »POSTED IN:
