Glad it works for you!
Inbox zero is a cognitive hack in a way that works for some (at least for me). It frees some of the mind-cycles that normally are wasted on worrying about an ill-defined and always growing 'todo list' held in a mail account. I personally prefer to define my tasks, at least the longer ones, using verbs - as I would delegate them, but to myself. Also having more clear outcomes defined and written so I don't have to think about it more than once helps me a lot. So if you are like me, having inbox zero and a clearly defined todo list just gives more freedom to be creative and focused on a task at hand and not to worry unconsciously about everything else waiting in my mail account. But everyone's different so what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others and everyone can or maybe should pursue their own methods to deal with 'stuff'.
I still have a Timex 2048 (a clone of Sinclair ZX Spectrum). It is not the first Spectrum I used, but first I owned. It works still and I have a family tradition of plugging it into our TV set each Christmas and playing the games we have grown up with. Years ago I could use my PC workstation to "play" tape recordings into it but nowadays you have to use an Android phone [1] as I think there is too much of sound filtering built in and the tapes just don't load.
Few years ago after not logging into Skype for few months when I have launched Skype I was logged in automatically to another person's account (similar in name to my own, but with additional prefix). It happen few times in period of 2-3 years. When I tried to report it, support staff supposedly handed the info to their supervisor and that's was it. Fortunately web client had resolved such issues.
Isn't "reader mode" available on some browsers almost a "no style" option? I use it exactly for that reason. I admit not every page is reader-mode-enabled but I just don't bother with those.
Full-disclosure: I'm part of the team behind RevDeBug Prompter.
It's free to use for commercial purposes also. You'll need VS 2017 (update 3) to use it.
Would be glad to hear your feedback :-)
It would make my life at least in some areas easier.
The problem I see is how to buy into the idea people who doesn't interact with different time zones at all (and probably that's most people)? It doesn't add them any value and transition would just provide additional hurdle. So where is value for them, how to buy them in?
In Poland, government started paying monthly for each child after first one (and for every child if you are a low income family). It's hard to predict if it would work like in Japan as it started a year ago and there are still no official stats available but I wonder if one-time payoff, like in Japan, would yield better or worse results than paying monthly (or would there be any difference at all)?
Not really anti-goals but I think one of the great side of David Allen's GTD is that you are reviewing things you are not doing but you would like to (someday/maybes, incubation) on a consistent basis. So you won't feel bad about it and can be conscious with not doing.
Most of my side projects are like that -- just an excuse to learn something and more often than not abandoned when I have learned what I wanted. Not the best way to develop software but a great one to learn new technology.
Oh, I see now that it went public domain in 2007. I had used it prior to the change (migrated to Exim and the Postfix later). Wonder if it would get a better traction and community behind it if it was OSI-compilant from the start?
But no one have mentioned licensing issues. Linux or *BSD do have quite liberal licenses comparing to QMail license or at least last time I read it, it was quite years ago. I have maintained my own set of patches with some of my own additions but it was a hurdle and it didn't make exchanging of those easy. My point it, maybe it is not only abrassiveness issue?
Remember hearing Dave Ramsey (who probably got it from someone else) saying that when your money makes more than you do, you're officialy rich. There might be something to it.
Great work OP!
Had done something similar as my master thesis in 2005 basing on one of Hans Reiser's papers.
It was more of a quick-hack having the code written in three days so not much have survived to this day, but you can see some of it in action on an adobe flash[1] video at https://adam.kruszewski.name/assets/static/mtfs-demo.htm
[1] don't judge me, mp4 in the browser wasn't main-stream back then ;)
edit: for those without flash like me -- even as a quick hack it had manual and automatic file tagging (based on file metadata) and you could query it using logical expressions.
It also had pretty nasty memory leak I didn't care to find out :)
Still, without a first-class, built-in support from file managers like BeOS had for its filesystem the idea is not fully realized I think.
