TreeLine
What is TreeLine?

Do you have lots of sticky notes lying around with various useful information jotted down? Or many lists of books, movies, website logins, personal contacts, or things to do? Can you find them when you need them? Well, I often couldn’t. So here’s my answer.

Some would call TreeLine an Outliner, others would call it a PIM. Basically, it just stores almost any kind of information. A tree structure makes it easy to keep things organized. And each node in the tree can contain several fields, forming a mini-database. The output format for each node can be defined, and the output can be shown on the screen, printed, or exported to html.

For what it’s worth. Looks interesting enough to try. Just got to get off my ass and do so…

A Can-Do House: A New Twist to Aluminum Siding

Got a few thousand soda and beer cans you’ve been waiting to recycle? Architect Richard Van Os Keuls, a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, might be an inspiration.

Van Os Keuls lives in a 1953 brick tract house, to which he built a 230 sq. foot addition on to the back in 2000. The nearly-finished plywood and insulation board structure was covered with building paper, waiting to be sided or otherwise finished. He found bricks too expensive, and didn’t want the usual siding alternatives. After some thought and consideration, Van Os Keuls decided to try a new medium no architect and none of his clients had used before — flattened aluminum soda and beer cans.

Interesting concept. Just not sure of the practicality of it but that could just be me.

I’ve built several wall sections of aluminum cans and cement but am not gonna do any more that way. I’ll recycle the aluminum and use the cash to buy cement to use with glass and plastic bottles instead.

Plywood bike

Plywood bike

Interesting concept and from what I can see cool design/construction of the bike.

Horrible website design, construction and execution. They didn’t even bother to title the main page. When I went to post this on the blog I had to add the “Plywood bike” in place of the “Untitled page” that showed up when using the WordPress add entry link. Pissy little pix with no link to larger versions in the gallery that are just too artsie fartsie to convey any real info. And the tiny pixtelated text on the specs page sucks. I could use the the text larger in my browser to increase the size but after looking at the rest of the site just didn’t bother.

These folks need to get someone that knows what they are doing to build them a real site to show this bike design off.

Bit late posting this but I do find it interesting that DARPA isn’t interested. Will be interesting to see what if any results he gets/publishes.

Linux.com | Feed your content cravings with Liferea

Trying this as my new feed reader. Good interface but a few small glitches now and then. Restarting the application seems to clear the problems up. Biggest complaint is that the scroll bar on the feed articles area in the upper right box disappears at random. Or seems to be at random. Will keep on using it for a while and see how it goes as otherwise I like.
