My Filofax

I really depend on my Filofax. If I forget it or loose it, I tend to get confused, frustrated and very upset. My worst nightmare is having my Filofax stolen.

Do you know those small, useful fact-sheets in the Filofax. Those listing shoe-sizes and metric conversion tables? I like those, except for the fact that they never list what I really need. So, I decided to make my own, computer-oriented fact sheets.

Below are listed all (well, most of...) the fact sheets that I've made. There are two versions of each. First a gif-picture, which is only ment for a preview, and a PostScript version. If you print out the PostScript version on a doublesided printer, then you get three copies of that sheet.

What if you are an American and you don't have A4 paper sheets. Sorry, life is tough!

MS-DOS Codepages - the PC character sets (Postscript: normal and pocket format) 2 pages.
ISO 8859-1 - ASCII and ISO Latin-1 (Postscript: normal and pocket format) 2 pages.
ISO 8859-5 and 8859-7 - Cyrillic and Greek (Postscript: normal and pocket format) 2 pages.
RS-232 - pin-out and definitions (Postscript: normal and pocket format) 2 pages.
EBCDIC - traditional and national extentions (Postscript: normal and pocket format) 2 pages.
Country information - statistics, phone prefixes etc (Postscript: normal and pocket) 6 pages.

Now, suppose you want to print them out. First of all, I recommend paper sheets that are fairly thin, e.g. 40g to 60g should be ok, provided that your printer can handle it. I prefer paper that is just a tiny bit gray -- white paper is to bright. If you are using double-sided printout, then you need to use A4 paper sheets. After you have printed the pages out, cut them up according to the marks on the page. Please! Do use a paper cutter. Using a pair of scissors does not give good results. Cut the holes using a special-purpose Filofax cutter.

Please report any errors that you may find in these pages to me (anders.christensen@idi.ntnu.no), and I will try to fix them. And please do contact me if:

you have suggestions for additional Filofax pages;
you want to give me feedback on the pages;
you want to print out in anything else than A4;
