Pen and paper
=============

...not the e-paper. Well, I have been extended use of old good hardware
tools. While I use my phone and  computer to manage my calendar I don't
like to use digital things to make quick notes and to manage my tasks.

For the calendar: I use the NextCloud  provided by my employer so I can
connect to it from  almost any device I use. So I  can review or insert
the calendar  events even on  my phone  (the Sony Xperia  with A*****d)
which is  handy during various meetings.  Then I'm able to  convert the
calendar to the Remind format which can be used on almost anything (the
Remind still works even on old SGIs). And, of course, I can use the WWW
interface to the calendar or see it in the Thunderbird, if needed.

I used to use the Remind directly but this is not feasible now.

But the other tasks  are more complicated - I do not  like to enter the
meeting notes into the phone and I often don't carry any bigger device.
The Zauri  and other machines with  small keyboards are now  out of the
question as my eyes are not good enough (their batteries also have some
limitations...).

Thus I have bought a new  diary (a neat leather notepad, actually) with
replaceable inserts  and have returned my  Kayu pen to the  full use (I
actually have two of  them - one is always in my  office and the second
one  is being  used outside).  The paper  works in  any conditions,  no
batteries are needed. The pen sometimes  need to be filled with ink but
it is still easier to lend a pen (if necessary) than a phone.

Also, the  notepad can be  used to  store other needed  documents (like
printed train tickets, maps, invitation  letters which have to be shown
on some places).
