Free For All Friday No. 342 by Steve

Well the days are counting down to our epic trip to North America. It is difficult to comprehend how important my organiser has been these last few weeks and for the next couple of months that we are away in bringing together all the details.

I lost all faith in electronic calendars when dealing with so many time zones and what time they show at any point in time. So I have got all our schedule recorded for all the flights and train departures all written down!

I will try to do a separate post about 'How I used my Filofax organiser to organise a long distance holiday/expedition!' or similar.

But as today is a Friday you can of course discuss anything Filofax or ring bound organiser related.

Have a good weekend.

Highlights of May 2015

So here are the highlights of the month of May.

This last month we looked at Old inserts Part Deux a collection of inserts from the 1980/90's that I've sort of collected/bought over the years, but not in a serious way!.

We asked what was The Organiser of Dreams? and How do we label ourselves..

We recapped about Organiser Sizes and the different names used for the same paper sizes used by different companies

I did a review of the Van Der Spek Touch Me Model Range I'm still using both of these in parallel, I'm really impressed with them both in terms of quality and their design. I've not moved out of either of them since getting them both in April.

I held a Philofaxy London Meet Up - 16 May 2015 which was a great day out.

I've got the Meet Ups in my North American tour starting in 10 days time. Yes we are busy getting our things together to start packing in the next few days.

With the help of Ray Blake we published the  Diary Inserts for you to download and print for 2016

And the following readers went under the spotlight... Inger,  April, Kristy, Rebecca and Beth We still need new people to come forward, please email Steve if you would like to appear on Reader Under The Spotlight.

A new idea to go in to the Sunday slot. If you have been a paper organiser user for say 3 or more years would you like to be featured to answer some questions specifically about how you use your organiser, what it contains, what sort of systems and diary pages you use etc. More about the nuts and bolts of your system and not so much about you as a reader. Please get in touch with Steve if you would like to be part of this feature.

Finally we have a Philofaxy Skype Chat on Sunday 7th June.

Of course the Webfinds and Free For All Tuesdays, Fridays posts are always there each week, please join in the comments, everyone is welcome.

If you have a guest post idea, please contact steve at philofaxy dot com  or if there is a topic you would like to see us cover or revisit also please contact Steve.

I hope you find this post useful, please let us know in the comments and we will do our best to do a highlights post each month.

Free For All Tuesday No. 226

A Date For Your Diary - Sunday 7th June - 2015

We are going to run another conference round-table voice chat using Skype. And the 'morning' session returns so our friends in the Far East and Asia can join in again.

I'm sure we are gradually getting to know each other's voices, but I will make a point of going 'around the table' to get everyone to introduce themselves this time.

So...When, Where, What, Who and How?

When? - Sunday 7 June from 10am London time, 11am Paris time, 7pm Brisbane time.

Additionally I will be on line at 9am San Francisco 11am Chicago, 12noon New York, 5pm London time, 6pm Paris time etc.  See the World Clock to make sure you have the right time.

The timing of these two sessions have been chosen to hopefully allow as many people to join in compared to previous round-tables. The timing of future ones will be varied to suit everyone if need be.

Where? - an on-line chat using Skype. with voice and video (if you wish)

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.

Who - All of you... connect up with Philofaxy and we will attempt to get as many of us linked in to the audio conference as possible. Come and listen if you don't want to chat.  What do we talk about? Filofax stuff... but anything else as well. It's like long lost friends meeting up for coffee and a catch up.. but don't worry if you have never joined in before... you are an old friend too!

If you have any questions you want to ask then please let us know in the group or before we start.

How -

1. Connect to Philofaxy by firstly searching for Philofaxy in Skype, I will then add you as a contact.
2. Then  'Send Contact Request',  I will then add you in to the chat room. 
3. Then if you request it, I can add you to the audio conference as well. But if you just want to chat via keyboard that's fine. That way it's slightly less hectic for me! 

Come and join in the fun, even if you only pop in to say hello... but don't be afraid to join in the discussion.

As with previous round-tables there will also be a parallel text chat room going at the same time as the voice conference, so you can listen to the voice chat and type if you wish.

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....

Here is my post on how to improve your Skype audio with headphones or a headset.

Hope to be chatting with you on Sunday 7 June 2015. There will not be a chat in July, so please do your best to make this one.
