Filing without cabinets?

mcnicks | Apr 16 2006

Now that I have sorted out my filing and contexts at work, I am planning to do the same thing at home. My only problem is that I do not really have space for a filing cabinet. What I do have is a set of shelves, so I was pondering whether I could file stuff into a) box folders or b) transfer cases.

Has anybody implemented a filing system without using a filing cabinet before? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thx,
David

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. »
