So who owns the idea of "In Box Zero"?

I know that David Allen is the originator of much of this (I've read the GTD bible a few times) but Kelly Forrister recently claimed that the 'in box zero' idea was all David Allen's during a podcast: http://www.davidco.com/podcasts/play/15.html

I'm confused since I read about ideas leading up to 'in box zero' here a while ago and recently viewed our illustrious editor's Google presentation on the topic.

Admin: 43f caching blip fixed

This afternoon 43 Folders had a temporary caching problem that resulted in some posts being inaccessible to users who were not logged in. Sorry about that.

I think this problem is fixed now. If it's giving you any trouble, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Seeking info re Miquelrius hack

I have a small Miquelrius notebook, 200 leaves, approximately 4"x6". I intend to use it and two similar-sized Moleskine Cahiers as my go-everywhere notetaking system. What I am looking for is a cover for the Miquelrius that I can put the back cover into and then use the front flap to secure the two Cahiers. (Think one of those covers that people like At A Glance sell for their products, only a different size.) Oh, and something that doesn't cost $70-plus, like all of the Levenger products.

Has anyone had this problem, and come up with a solution?

Nuclear reset for .Mac synching post

As per the last comment on that post, the post on the Nuclear reset for .Mac synching keeps reappearing in my NNW feed for no apparent reason (i.e., no edits or other changes that I can see). I would have posted this in the thread, but comments appear to be closed.

Not a big deal, but it is mildy annoying, especially since I don't really have any problems with .Mac synching. (nyah nyah) ;-)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
