How many index cards should I carry?

An academic discovers the joys of Lofi

Hi 43f folks,

I come to you with a bit of a question, a bit of a show and tell.

I've been hearing since I made the mac switch like 4 years ago that OS X was the best thing since sliced bread, because "look dude, there's the command line if you ever need it."

Sigh.

And then I never heard about the command-line except by people who are all about telling me that it's the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I've dug a little bit, and I've made some progress I know how to get around, and after a few months of really trying pretty hard, I'm almost borderline competent.

What's left to do after you reached your yearly goals?

I've just acquired an iPod touch and I'm in love.

One small issue, though. I've added a bundle of addresses in the past few weeks using the touch, but only yesterday did I realise that they could be placed in groups if you were IN the group already when you started adding the new entry. So there's a whole load of ungrouped entries in my (frighteningly big) address book.

The logical thing would be to make a smart group for stuff that, say, isn't in a dumb group. But I couldn't see a smart group option for that. Any bright ideas?

My favorite Windows utility.. AutoHotKey

New to using the system, but I've been interested in it for a few years.

My wife and I are about to kick off the new organization style, but we have a question: do we use multiple sets of 43 folders, or try to manage both our lives with one set?

I can only imagine that we should be using multiple sets, but she's an engineer and demands proof before moving on to next steps.

Here is our situation:

We both have day jobs, and we also run two different businesses on the side. Do we cram all of our lives into ONE set of 43 folders?
