My Magnetic Board

My Magnetic Board

Put together that magnetic board (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2010/03/depots-of-home-and-office-really-suck.html) I wanted to assemble last week. Found all the magnets I wanted at Staples but the right sized board was a no-show. Then I spotted the 18" steel rulers and thought, "it can't be that simple."

But it was and now I've got magnets holding things to the post next to my desk. Need to work on the arrangement and whether to add strips to the sides of the post, but it works.

The boxless inbox

The boxless inbox

As previously mentioned (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/04/simple-html-editor.html), I've been revising my work setup lately, and one of the things I've dove is eliminate the box of my office inbox.

I receive documents and packages of various sizes and weights, so a basic tray doesn't work for me. I tried wire baskets, but they felt cumbersome. Thus, to accomodate all sizes, I decided to ditch containers entirely in favor of a designated "in" area.

Not only does this eliminate concerns over accommodation, but I have open space when there are no "in" items. In addition, the novelty of being boxless has made people more aware of where to put "in" items, and I'm more apt to attend to new items quickly when they're out in the open as opposed to being sequestered in a container.

Just need to come up with a permanent sign with a directional so people don't cover it directly. Oh, thanks to GottaBeMobile (http://www.gottabemobile.com/) and Motion Computing (http://www.motioncomputing.com/) for the sticky note.

A simple HTML editor

A simple HTML editor

Been on a bit of a revision tear at work lately, reconfiguring my desk surface, instituting a new filing system (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/04/filing-without-sorting.html), and now whipping up a simple html editor (http://www.markandtanya.us/scribbles/editor.html) for my boss.

Just needed a way to add simple format tags and hyperlinks. Used the text editing code from Build 52 and modified it a bit, so it's limited to Internet Explorer.

Anyway, I have it posted in case anyone's interested. Probably update it with tags for different colors soon. That would make it useful for me too.
