  1. trays, scansnap and spotlight on Ask Slashdot: How Do You File Paper Documents At Home? · · Score: 1

    Any documents that come in are filed in 4-5 trays depending on whether its personal or professional mail. After a while the trays get filed into maps.

    Important documents are scanned.
    The scansnap i use is a breeze: very quick, doublesided, feeder scans. The pdfs end up in an action folder which triggers an OCR conversion on the pdf, and that is then automatically indexed by Mac OS X.
    If it's a really important doc, i will go through the trouble of moving the doc from the scan folder to a hierarchical folder structure, but due to spotlight I tend to do this less and less. So basically the scanning process is a one button effort.

    This setup works perfectly for me since years (and i have a *lot* of documents to manage).

  12. Re:Flourescent Lights on Solar Power in the Third World · · Score: 1

    The cool thing about flourescent bulbs is that they now come in standard "edison" screw type sizes so you don't need to buy those long tubes. On top of this, they are over 80% efficient (only 20% of energy is turned to heat) and last 10,000 hours! [5 - 7 years under average use] Good old incandescent bulbs only last 1,000 hours at most and are only 15% efficient. (85% of the energy goes up as heat.)

    Think of the kind of ENIAC computer you could build with that kind of lamps! I guess you just cant stop evolution.
