Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

Tip of the day: Tangle Prevention
If you carry, as I do, a lot of cables, power supplies, and so on, you can keep them from turning into a rat's nest of knots easily and cheaply. I have a friend who uses some fancy velcro cable ties that he wraps around the coils of cable to keep them neat. My solution is not as classy, attractive, or durable, but it's cheap and it works.
Simply coil your cables and slip them into a Ziplock bag. This works for loose cables (cat-5, telephone, USB, etc.) as well as wall warts. In addition to simple cables, small parts or other, related item can be bagged along with the cables. If you have a battery charger with a detachable cord, as many that come with digital cameras do, you can bag the charger and the cable together. If you have a universal power supply with different tips for the power cable, the tips can be bagged with the power supply so you don't have to search for them (or worse yet, lose them completely.)
