Seeking info re Miquelrius hack

I have a small Miquelrius notebook, 200 leaves, approximately 4"x6". I intend to use it and two similar-sized Moleskine Cahiers as my go-everywhere notetaking system. What I am looking for is a cover for the Miquelrius that I can put the back cover into and then use the front flap to secure the two Cahiers. (Think one of those covers that people like At A Glance sell for their products, only a different size.) Oh, and something that doesn't cost $70-plus, like all of the Levenger products.

Has anyone had this problem, and come up with a solution?

So who owns the idea of "In Box Zero"?

I know that David Allen is the originator of much of this (I've read the GTD bible a few times) but Kelly Forrister recently claimed that the 'in box zero' idea was all David Allen's during a podcast: http://www.davidco.com/podcasts/play/15.html

Adding Extended Tracker module?

http://drupal.org/project/xtracker has what appears to be a drop-in replacement for the regular tracker module, currently visible at http://www.43folders.com/tracker. It allows people to filter out particular tracker entries that are uninteresting (like usernode creation), perhaps making it easier to keep up with new replies, new topics, and new blog posts? Or to just keep up with people signing up without having to wade through a bunch of post entries?

Hi Neighbor Have a Gansett. From Rhode Island

Hi there,

I work for a non profit in Providence taking care of the network, teaching, fixing and all things computer. (Actually I get to fix anything plugged in)

At Night I do some web design and a bunch of podcasts. I have one that I do with my cousin in Belfast discussing music from the 60's and the 70's (www.oneoclockradio.com)

I produce another one about life's stories, also available from the above site. Usually funny stuff.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
