Funders and Founders Notes – How to Be Productive The Mindmap of 35 Habits of…
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/15
Too bad the Dutch Lifehacking posting of March 15, 2014 didn’t link back to the original Funders and Founders Notes – How to Be Productive by Anna Vital.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/15
The BitSavers /pdf/apple/apple_I directory now contains a PDF of the Apple I Cassette Interface Documentation.
Awesome history (:
It even has this very old Apple address on it:
APPLE COMPUTER COMPANY
770 Welch Road,
Suite 154
Palo Alto, California 94304
Phone: (415) 326-4248
(both the address and phone now have different owners now).

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/15

Google+ supports the following keyboard shortcuts. To see the full list from any screen in Google+, press SHIFT+?
The list is big, but is close to for instance the GMail shortcut list.
