I’m a big fan of Evernote and sometimes I just go through my notes, notebooks and tags to clean things up. Sometimes I then just check Google to see if people have good suggestions related to what I’m doing. In this case, I came across a site called moh.io where you can connect some of […]
Use your smartphone as document scanner
A simple post today about using your smartphone as a (document)scanner to digitize about anything. For some reason I knew this existed, but never really looked into it. Usually I use my Canon multifunctional for duplex scanning my mail, forms, invoices and so on and store it in Evernote. Check my article about using wappwolf […]

Then the remark was made: “my notebook was […]
Connect your (old) PocketPC to your onli...
I have written a post before about a shared calendar for our family appointments here. This approach is working properly for the past 3 weeks now. I stumbled upon my old HP Ipaq 4700 pocket pc which is not as advanced as the modern tablets like the Apple Ipad but it offers a touch screen, […]
Backup strategy and Synology Online back...
