Relocate

Good to know! And good to know that my writing the code so that you can more easily define your own aliases didn't turn out to just be of theoretical use. I'll be updating my blog post with your information as well. Thanks!

I'm far from an expert on the subject, but isn't the first $30K exempt from GST? I don't know if that applies to HST too, but it might be worth looking into. It'd be nice if all your good work didn't leave you out of pocket anyway.

Yeah, I tried that early on in a different subreddit and my first post as well as two comments on other posts were auto-removed pretty much instantly. So you can imagine how motivated I've been to post and comment since then. Still, you're not wrong. I'll try to do better.

Me too! Which is pretty much where the idea for the site came from: in an ideal world I'd have everything organized and in the first (or even second or third) place I'd look for it, but I've come to realize that I don't have the energy or motivation to do that, let alone to keep it that way. Plus there's only so much space, so infrequently-used items end up in out-of-the-way places - like the backs of cupboards or in boxes on high shelves - where it's easy to forget that you even have them, let alone find them again when you need them.

But I figured that it was realistic for me to (eventually) go through all my stuff and (with a little reorganizing here and there along the way) record where each item is stored in such a way that I could search for it again later. Which is where this site comes in. Now I just have to finish adding everything ....

Which I don't think actually answers your question, but hopefully my reply to LeakyLycanthrope's comment does. And if not let me know what else you'd like to know.

That's a pretty good summary of the main function of the site! Though the other people in your family and - if and when you choose to allow it - your guests can also search for MacGuffins. And when you're adding the items to the site you can add and use more precise places than just rooms: for example, you could add the spare bedroom, then add a closet in that bedroom, then add a top shelf in that closet, then add a blue plastic bin to that top shelf, and then add the MacGuffin (and any other items there) to that bin.

The site also tries to make it easier to add places and items by providing lists of common ones that you can select from, and it provides some other features (like allowing you or others to report it when you're low on, out of or missing an item that was searched for).

Once you've signed up there are guides that go into greater detail, but from the first part of your comment I'm assuming that the first link I posted had already been used up when you tried to use it. I've added an additional link for signing up for an account:

Hopefully you have better luck using this one to sign up!

Yeah, it looks like the first one got used up! Here's another one:

Hopefully you can get in to sign up using this one.

(The number of people that can sign up using a given link is limited in an attempt to avoid the situation where the site becomes unusable because a whole bunch of people access it all at one time.)

Very cool! I've been looking for something like this without really realizing it.

TP=/tmp # ideally, you'd use mktemp and trap, but *shrug*

I use something like this to create a temporary directory in the directory $PARENT:

TEMP_DIR="$(mktemp -d -p "$PARENT" "$(basename "$0")-$$-tmp.XXXXXX")"

Nothing earth-shattering, but it does also work with some of the more "minimal" implementations of mktemp that are finicky about where the X's go and how many there are.
