    see the links and resources thread for some more info

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055084441

    It's basically 2 nearly seperate things,

    1) tips and tricks to being more productive in your day to day life, often IT related tips.

    A lot of stuff online is related to the book Getting Things Done, which is an organisational technique manual

    2) Using cheap/old materials and items to create more useful or new adaptations for them. Reusing 'waste' material, retasking useless material etc etc.

    3) Anything and Everything!


    see the way I added 3 out of the blue!?

    The forum hasn't taken off yet, but I'm hoping to have a bit more time soon to get a few threads going which will hopefully help a bit.

    Also - title fixed - no charge.

    Cheers for that copacetic;)



    Sounds very interesting, Ill definately add this board to my list! I reckon it is something a lot of people would actually be interested in if you could get the word out.
