Hi everybody and thanks for your support.
I think the ratio of positive to negative comments on this blog speaks for itself -- and I don't even moderate them!
I do have an exciting (I think) new post planned, but I haven't been able to get good enough pictures yet (I will this weekend).
For the curious, in my most recent communication with Philofaxer, he indicated that he had moved on from this blog. Although he's welcome back any time, and his writing was the best!!! That's one thing we can all agree on.
One of his reasons for staying away (Anonymous, if you're listening) was having been offended by negative comments. Please take that to heart if you truly want the original Philofaxer to come back some day.
I agree that Philofaxer's posts were clever and funny. But, I have to say Inky is better about discussing topics like different formats, using other notebooks and systems concurrently with Filofax, and various Filofax forms and pages. These are all topics that I am highly interested in. And, I feel like Inky and I have issues in common like trying to find the system that works best for our needs. (Don't we all have that to some degree??)
ReplyDeleteInky, we all know that your life is very busy, yet you keep this blog not only alive but also interesting. Thank you! It's why we all keep coming back to Philofaxy.
I posted as anonymous, but I was the one that used the analogy of parking a Bentley where a Mini should go, and not the other one who was so negative. I enjoy all the posts and comments on this site, and rather than have Inky go, I would much prefer that the other person kindly take his leave.

I am Anonymous, the negative one. I will not leave. Since years, I read every single word on this blog.
ReplyDeleteBy the way. Did you ever consider replacing your Filofax with an Iphone?
Crofter - Thanks for coming out of hiding. It was definitely not your post I was speaking to! Thanks for your support.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Thanks for being a faithful reader and for kicking me in the butt when need be.
To answer your question...I'm coming at this from the opposite direction. I used Palm Pilots starting in 1999. In 2003/2004, in the pre-iPhone days, I was using a Palm T3 for all work and personal organizing, and using IR to connect it to the Internet through my cell phone. I even read newspapers that way.
I went back to paper because I was spending 4 hours per week just troubleshooting all the hardware and software for this system, and I wanted to stop wasting that time. Also, I found my palmtop system was limiting my thinking by forcing me to see everything through a 2.5 x 2.5 inch screen. Even my vision was suffering.
I'm still using the same cell phone from 2003, but I want to get a smartphone -- but an Android rather than an iPhone.
Holy Guacamole, take everything on the net on an "as is" basis is my personal guideline - whether it's a blog that doesn't update as much as you'd like, or a commenter who gets their stroppy on.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't change sh*t, or worry, or fret.
Because - not everyone is like you. And that's a good thing: strangely, in increasing and inverse proportion to how cool we can all be about it!
JMO, anyway! ;o)
Thanks, Laurie and Miss Charlie, my friends! :)
