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?

Slipbox anyone?

I've just come across Slipbox, a freeware freeform notetaking tool. Looks a bit like a combination of Notational Velocity and Devonthink. Seems interesting but a bit confusing. It also seems like it would need to be filled with content before one could judge the function and helpfulness of its "associative" search capacity -- so I'm wondering if any forum readers have used it and could comment on that.

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) ;-)

Topless Meetings Follow-Up

Hello: This is a follow-up to the topless meetings post. I did some searching and found a some past posts, etc about meetings. This seems to be a popular topic.

I wonder about a few things, if anyone cares to comment on any of them:

What about bringing the meeting to people where they are -- online chat rooms and the like?

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.

Hi Neighbor Have a Gansett. From Rhode Island

Hi there,

I work for a non profit in Providence taking care of the network, teaching, fixing and all things computer. (Actually I get to fix anything plugged in)

At Night I do some web design and a bunch of podcasts. I have one that I do with my cousin in Belfast discussing music from the 60's and the 70's (www.oneoclockradio.com)

I produce another one about life's stories, also available from the above site. Usually funny stuff.

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. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
