Finally- got the damn thing out the door. Lecturefinder.com is online right now. Had some troubles with the stability of it. But it seems ok now. It has about 3000 lectures now, and is growing. We are sending out a bunch of spiders to get the rest.

Thinking outside the box.

Posted by Marco Kotrotsos on February 10, 2008

Had a bit of an eyeopener today, someone that shall remain :nameless (you know who you are!) made me fully aware at the difference in people in regards of they’re ability to think outside the box.

It was because of an Ikeahacker article, I raised the idea that It would be a great idea to get Ikea cabinent braces to make a laptop stand. The other party (:nameless) responded with ‘why would you want to hang up the laptop’ ?

I created :nameless current laptop stand from an old MSX printer sheet feeder. There is never a moment I can look at something without thinking a dozen different way’s of using it (when the need rises that is) . Some people just don’t do that. Although I don’t consider it bad that they don’t- I think you really must learn to think like that because it would open up a million possibilities (and not only with IKEA stuff) So just glaze across your desk and see something you could use in a way it was not really meant to be- but would work anyway.
