Free For All Friday - No. 845

The Filofax Diary Inserts with QR codes are proving to be very popular.... not!!! 

I was thinking of copying the idea, but just one QR code per page, it would be just a link to Philofaxy.com just in case you had forgotten the website address. >> Test it out!

I love technology as you might have already guessed, but I don't like it when it's forced on us. Changing your organiser habits just because someone thought it was a money making idea is not a good idea. 

As usual on a Friday, please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related. 

Finding a lost Filofax?

No I've not lost one, sorry for the 'click-bait' title!!

I recently came across an advert for a 'gadget' that would help with finding a lost organiser or wallet. 

A credit card size tag that works with Apple Find My. Once linked to your Apple account, the tag appears in the app along with your other Apple AirTags which I have on my keys, bags etc.

 The advantage of this credit card size one  is that it is much thinner (2.5mm) than an Apple AirTag (8mm) and this one is rechargeable, compared to other similar credit card tags are not rechargeable. 

I saw the card advertised on Instagram and available via Action, a budget chain of shops here in France. A quick visit to my local store and I was able to pick up a couple of them for €11.95 each (About £10) 

Once charged and linked to my account I've tucked it in to one of the pockets on my current in use organiser. 

Yes this one has changed colour, my wife liked the off-white one for her wallet, so I did a swap! 

Have you ever lost a Filofax? And hopefully found it again?

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Skype. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Skype user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. 

 

Because of unwanted people we are no longer able to give out a join here link. 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Skype account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Skype, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Skype is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 January 2025.
