January promo updates (and thanks)

Merlin — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 18:45:19 -0500

Thanks, Office Depot! - First off, a big thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring the 43f feed for the last few weeks. I was thrilled that they were our first sponsor because, personally, I drop a lot of dough at my Office Depot each month, and I think they're a swell company. I have appreciated their support very much.
A2 discount ends soon - There's eight (8) days remaining in A2's 10% lifetime hosting discount, so get in there while you still can.
Advertising on 43f - Finally, just the occasional reminder that if you'd like to reach one of the smartest (and best-looking) audiences on the web, you can advertise on 43 Folders, via our pals over at FM. Big ads, little ads, ads that climb on rocks -- we got you covered.

Thanks, and now back to our regularly-scheduled productivity programming.

Update: 43f Deals & Discounts

Merlin — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 09:00:09 -0500

Just some quick reminders and news on a few current discounts and special deals available for 43f readers.

30% off DEVONtechnologies applications - This one ends tonight. Check out with code "en-promo-43f-200610" for 30% off most all DEVONtechnologies apps -- including the very swell DEVONthink Pro. After midnight tonight (GMT, I'm guessing?), she is, as Daryl Hall and John Oates might say, gone.
10% off A2 web hosting for life - Ends January 10th 2007. Signup with 43f's web hosting service to get excellent pricing and service, plus a lifetime 10% discount. Just checkout with code "YLUSPXAWOAQAVL". A2 are very patient and helpful with me, and I suspect they will be with you as well.
35% off 43f ad space - Federated Media continues to offer a perfectly zany 35% discount on all graphical banners that are booked through their zesty online platform.

In somewhat related news, the Working and Living Life Smarter Conference announced last month is being rescheduled to a TBD date next year. Registrants have been notified and received refund info, but you should feel free to ask any questions to either the conference's organizer, Kay Ethier (sales at aboveandbeyondlearning daht com), or me. Will update when the new dates are announced -- I imagine that we'll have another discount to offer for 43f readers.

43F Discount: 30% off DEVONthink Pro and other DEVONtechnologies apps

Merlin — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 11:39:27 -0500

Our friends at DEVONtechnologies have extended a very swell offer to readers of 43 Folders.

From now through November 15, you can get a 30% discount on any of the DEVON apps (excluding PhotoStickies) -- that includes DEVONthink Personal, DEVONthink Pro, DEVONagent, DEVONnote as well as the Infoworker's Pro Bundle and the DEVONthink/PhotoStickies bundle.

Just use the code "en-promo-43f-200610" when you checkout to receive your discount.

FWIW, 43f doesn't see any dough out of this -- we just like DEVON's stuff (definitely don't miss their amazing freeware Services for OS X) so we're happy to facilitate readers getting a break on their software. Ain't we grand?

If you're new to the wonders of DEVONthink as your unofficial outboard brain, check out these previous 43f posts.

Merlin at NC Conference; Discount for 43f readers

Merlin — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 12:22:25 -0400

Important update: 2006-11-15

The Working and Living Life Smarter Conference, announced below, is being rescheduled to a TBD date next year. Registrants have been notified and have received refund info, but you should feel free to ask any questions to either the conference’s organizer, Kay Ethier (sales at aboveandbeyondlearning daht com), or me. 43 Folders will update when the new dates are announced.

So sorry for the change! I apologize for any inconvenience this change has caused and hope that you can still make it to the rescheduled conference next year.

WORKING AND LIVING LIFE SMARTER 2006 (43 Folders Discount)

Next month, I'll be speaking at the Working and Living Life Smarter Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'll be doing two talks that should be a lot of fun for 43F fans. And -- lucky for you interested folks, there's a discount afoot, as well.

In "Life Hacks & Knowledge Work," I'll be talking about the ways that bit-twiddlers, designers, and other first-world victims of "The Black Box Career" can apply modest fixes to the problem of self-management. In "Inbox Zero," we'll be looking at the tactical solutions for getting email under control that I laid out in the 43F series of the same name.

If you're an East-coaster who will be in the Research Triangle area in late November, I encourage you to consider coming to the conference. The keynote speaker is the very talented Dan Millman, author of the book Way of the Peaceful Warrior.

The conference promoters have extended a discount for 43 Folders readers that lets you register for $109 ($90 off the rack rate).

I'm really looking forward to my first NC visit in a long time, as well as getting to see Dan and the other folks speak. If you do go, please grab me and say hi.

(Here's a direct link to the registration page.)

43F Discount: 10% off all A2 hosting..._for life_

Merlin — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 05:24:20 -0400

A2 Web Hosting

As you may know, 43 Folders is hosted through our friends at A2 Web Hosting. They’ve been great to work with and have an amazing record of stepping up to the plate whenever we have any problems — even those mysterious problems that turn out to be, uh, “pilot errors.”

Well, I’m happy to announce that A2 has kindly offered a terrific deal to new customers who are 43 Folders readers. From now through January 10th 2007 (or for 5,000 registrants, whichever comes first), you’ll get 10% off your hosting fees for the lifetime of your relationship with A2. Just choose the shared, dedicated, or reseller account that suits you, then check out with the coupon code “YLUSPXAWOAQAVL”.

When you sign up in this way, 43F receives a small finder’s fee (at no additional cost to you), so it’s “win/win,” as we used to say back in Menlo Park.

Like we’ve been saying over in the siderail:

A2 supports Ruby on Rails, PHP5, MySQL 5/4.1, PostgreSQL 8.1 and SSH/shell. Prices start at a bafflingly affordable $2.95 per month.

Advertise on 43 Folders

If you hadn't noticed, FM now offers modestly priced Text Ads for some of their sites, including 43F. It's probably the least costly way to get your product or company on the site, plus, AFAIK, you can do it all totally self-serve.

Thanks to our current Text Ad tenants, Associated Content and snappymultimedia.com. I'm grateful for the support.
