Mini-Review: Digital Game StoresI've really gotten on board with the Digital Game Distribution concept (though the flap at GOG shook my confidence a bit), and figured that I'd post a review of the sites that I've used. I'll post them a little at a time, and if someone has something to add, feel free to add to the thread, and I'll update this 'table of contents' post with a link to the review.

CCCCtrlC - simple multiple clipboard utilityAs a part of not-working on my MSc I decided to finally learn AHK and programme myself a little multiple clipboard tool, using an idea which came to my head a long time ago. Now that it works like I want it to work, I thought why not share with you, maybe someone is waiting for this kind of software
 Here comes some description of the program: CCCCtrlC Simple multiple clipboard utility. Creates any number of additional clipboards (called cccclipboards) and allows accessing them using normal keyboard shortcuts. To put it simply
Some more description If you press Ctrl+C or any other clipboard shortcut (see below) and release it normally (without delay), then the regular clipboard is used for the operation. But if you hold the shortcut for a moment, in the bottom right corner of the screen you will see a clipboard selection info scrolling over cccclipboards. Release the keys and the action will be executed on the currently selected cccclipboard. |

DIY Vacuum tubes - Beautiful VideoI could watch this for days... Check out this absolutely mesmerizing (17 minute!) video of a French amateur radio operator who rolls his own vacuum tube triodes! I love the ease with which he performs these rather high-end skills (like glass forming), the gestural flourishes (like it's hand magic), and the Zelig-esque soundtrack. http://blog.makezine...own_vacuum_tube.html Not only does he make his own vacuum tubes, it looks like much of his equipment is hand-made as well. |

Chore Cards.. Almost makes it fun..If you've followed my previous posts in this section you know how I swear by an index card system of getting things done. I use hundreds of index cards organized into dozens of sections, with a single ToDo item on each card; I find it a very satisfying way to keep track of things. Recently I started using the card system with my weekly chores around the house. I have a card for each potential chore, and then at the beginning of the weekend i select the cards for the chores i think need to get done that weekend, and put them up on the refrigerator. When a chores is completed, the respective card is put back into the deck. While it's kind of silly for me to have such a system just for myself, I can see how this would be fun to use if you have kids -- letting them randomly choose cards and handing them in when their chore is done. Anyone else have an interesting system to keep your family organized when it comes to household chores (pictures please!) |
