Happy to help, and glad folks still find this project interesting. I have gotten this question before on other forums, so I should put up a little something here.

The icons in the rounded cones are meant to help categorize the information on the sheet. Similar information would get have a similar icon marked. The check, clover, pen, and data disk icons are really somewhat arbitrary. I wanted somethings that were distinct from each other even when printed small. You can attribute your own meaning to each.

However, here is what I think they mean:

The check is for to-do type info, lists.
The clover is for family stuff. It has 4 petals, and my family has four members.
The pen is for art related inspirations.
The tape disk is for work.

I’m having trouble deciphering the icons on the Meta-Line Organizer. I just don’t get wht they are apart from the check(tick)

I still have the source and will send it out. Looks like I’m missing some of the original graphics for the cards, but it’s mostly there. (I could probably dig up the pics too, if need be.)

..I know, I need to fix the playing card deck…

I’d like a copy of the scribus source if you still have it around. I really like the concept you’ve put together.

Yes, the idea is to cut out the pieces, chess, playing cards, or Go then use them to play. Probably better in theory than in reality, but it should work in a pinch.

I do need to re-do the playing cards, I forgot two, … so maybe I can get Scribus to save them as graphics. However, I do have several other projects so not sure how soon I’ll get to it. Sorry M.D.

Oh, and could you make a .doc version, with the things just as images?

Are you supposed to cut out the chess ‘pieces’ and play on the board?

I don’t play Go very often.
Just curious about how you (or any one) use it.

Well, it is sort of a joke more than anything else…But I think quite usable. …If you play Go, and it doesn’t work for you, please let me know

FYI: I still have to some cards to the playing card sheet…forgot some!
