If it is helpful to anyone I saw these notebooks on sale in Barnes & Noble. About 60% off. Just for clarity, this was in Honolulu so it may differ on the mainland. BobH.

Wrong size

civil — Thu, 2 May 2013 09:40:24 -0400

Sorry, I know this is an old template, just wanted to point out this is letter size, not classic. Any attempt at resizing it to classic just messes it up. Just thought I would mention it.

Classic size for Chaos Oasis

Hi! I started using the Old Chaos spreadsheet in classic size this year, and I think it is great! I noticed that the letter size is a lot more sophisticated, I wonder if you plan on creating a classic size version of the Oasis spreadsheet that is the equal of the letter size one, in terms of what it can do? I realize size creates some limitations.

I find it very useful the way it is, so I guess I am greedy, hehehe.

The fact that the site is still up at all is a major big deal

Some people don't realize what a major big deal it is for a site of this nature to still be around, even if it was totally silent, which it is not.

I spent several years moderating, contributing, and compiling lots and lots of information on favorite subjects, mostly related to now outdated technology (Palm and DOS related, among other topics). While I myself no longer use most of that technology, it makes me a bit sad that all of the hard work that myself and many others put on several enthusiast sites has disappeared in the internet ether (someone had to pay the bills, and it wasn't me or most of the contributors).

In short, because there is a huge internet glut of valuable free information and free services, we tend to forget that there is always someone behind it all, paying the bills, and usually not getting a dime in return. And that is huge.

It is co-branding!

Combining well known brand names in an attempt to sell an overpriced or badly designed product that "attractive demographics" will want to get their hands on, anyway, is known as co-branding.

This usually result in the stuff being sold at a deep discount after "the buzz" has died down.

So, if you really love both products, wait a while and you will be able to stock up on the unique stationery!

Still not clear to me why

Still not clear to me why one has to use this notebook in particular and not any notebook.
Seems like the PageCamera app that comes with evernote, and is used to take a picture of the page for uploading, should work with any notebook, any paper.

Pages per Section

Roberto_Notecardo — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:28:31 -0400

I've never divided up a journal book into different sections because I just never know how many pages I'll need in each one. That's why I prefer Circa type books.

Genius!

How long have you had them?

ostrander — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 06:55:24 -0400

I was thinking the mini might be a perfect debit card and cash holder.
Is the construction durable?

No, but I will

ygor — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:02:26 -0400

I have done something like this - I did not color the entire length of the page. Think of the tabs like on a dictionary done with a marker.

Yes

The mini looks new. I do not remember seeing them before.
However, I have a few of the larger ones. Great for holding receipts and such.

You got that right

ostrander — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:32:21 -0400

Ygor,
I wish I'd thought of it.
Have you ever done this?

Great idea

ygor — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 20:25:18 -0400

Simple to do and very effective.

Plan your work...

BobH — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 09:38:39 -0400

'Plan Yor Work: Work Your Plan' was the title of a James R Sherman book. One of those fifty minute reads from 20 odd years ago. I don't know though if that was the origin of the quote or not.

I like the Jim Rohn quote 'Either you run the day or the day runs you'. So true.
