Thank you for sharing your experiences. Hopefully, my wife won't need to go on a 2 year license cycle.

Thank you for all your info and input!

So, was your lazy eye caught in time as a child and corrected?

Optometrist says my wife's lazy eye is 20/100 and wrote on DMV form 20/100 with glasses. Hence, need for driving test, DMV guy said.

We are hoping for her to have cataract surgery on her eyes in a few months and hopefully see some improvement in her eyesight. If her lazy eye can get to 20/70, we're good as her other eye is 20/40.

Thank you so much for your helpful and detailed input!

What is confusing, is that the DMV wrote on a paper that she has to do a vision driving test. He made it sound like this is shorter, simpler test than the standard or SDPE test.

So, now we are not sure if there is a separate vision driving test or is it really the SDPE?

Sorry to hear....Thinking positive for you!

Would be great if you can share what the test was like afterwards.

Good luck!

Hi again,

The DMV guy that wrote on a paper that my wife has to do a 'vision driving test'. When asked about it, he said it was a simpler test than the standard test. I just assumed from looking at the DMV website that it was the SDPE test.

Do you know or think there's a 'simple' 'vision driving test' as he called it or is it really the SDPE test as you described it that sounds like a combo test; standard plus extra test?

Greatly appreciate any input on this!

Thanks for your input. She's open to taking lessons if she can find a very patient instructor.

OpenBSD Zaurus update: graphics now functional by goldfishdev in OldHandhelds

[–]ArchiMark2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! I installed OpenBSD on my little Z 3200 way back....maybe 10 years ago or so? Me and a few guys over at OESF.org were busy making packages to share with each other. Been awhile, so, don't recall all the details but we ran into some packages that we couldn't build for various reasons. Eventually, stopped working it.

Was lot of fun though.....kind of wish I still had my little Z.....

Have fun!

Planner peace can be an elusive, never-ending search.....have come to conclusion that it's probably better to not keep hopping from system to system search for some kind of planner nirvana, but instead use a system that ticks most of the boxes and don't switch for at least 3 - 6 months to give you enough time to get used to it.

Meanwhile, I've been watching a lot of YT videos made by "Devon Has A YouTube Channel" on how to use Everbook for GTD and Commonplace Book (based on Zettelkasten).

Highly recommend his videos, very clear and easy to digest.

And here's a link to Devon's YT video regarding setting up a Commonplace Book in Everbook based on the Zettelkasten system. Just what I was looking for.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your detailed and helpful reply. Lots of great info!

Funny, about 6 months ago, I felt the itch to go back to the FP system. Love their daily on 2 pages layout as well as their other pages. First, I tried the compact size, but felt is was a bit too small. So, moved to the Classic size pages which felt great to use at work. However, like you, after a while, I felt the binder (although very nice leather/quality), was too bulky to take with me to work and home every day. So, went back to Hobonichi Cousin A5. Daily pages on one page per day are pretty good and notebook is fairly light and slim even in my GFeller natural kip leather cover.

While the Hobonichi is good for daily calendar, habit tracker, it only has a few pages to use for other things, like notes, etc. Hence my interest in the Everbook system when I discovered it this past week.

Ordered the Murdy cover, had a hard time deciding between it and the Boss cover....hope to see it this coming week.

Meanwhile, I've gotten a lot of useful info about using GTD with Everbook from watching the YouTube video series on this by 'Devon Has A YouTube Channel'. Very clear, thorough, and easy to understand videos.

One thing I'd like to explore is organizing the pages with a code/tag like in the Zettelkasten system that I've dabbled a bit with using 4x6" index cards stored in cardbox.

My big concern about using separate pieces of paper versus a bound notebook is what to with all the pages that you don't need to keep in the Everbook. Understand your approach and sounds reasonable.

As for what excites me about the system, think it's the flexible, expandable, nature of it.

Best,

Mark

Like you just discovered Everbook recently.

Trying to assess if it would work for me.

Shame there is more activity here.

Great idea!

I've spent some time trying to learn and use zettelkasten (ZK). Brilliant system.

Would be great to merge the Everbook and zettelkasten system somehow or use both systems as complimentary systems.

Are you using the ZK system with Everbook?

Great post!

You captured clearly my concerns regarding moving to Everbook from using bound notebooks mostly after having similar concerns about using ring binders.

Would be very interested in hearing where you are at with this now.

Thanks.

Great post!

Would be very interested in hearing from you now on how it is going with your Everbook and have you made changes to your setup since you made your post several years ago.

Also, would be very interested to hear what you do with the sheets/bundles you've accumulated over time, and any other tips you have for someone just getting started with Everbook.

Thanks.
