Ready for a little Friday humor? Well there’s this British carrier called BT that’s spending £10 billion ($17 billion) to build out an all-IP network that would handle the massive influx of converged data, voice and video traffic coming over the next few years on one network. They’ve been trashed and mocked, as so many visionaries often are, but they’ve kept on building, with the goal of finishing the network by 2011. Only they apparently didn’t build it to talk to the next-generation protocols, which is like spending £10 billion for a machine that translates spoken Latin.

BT told a high-speed broadband provider in the UK that it doesn’t support IPv6, which is a protocol backed by the Internet Engineering Task Force. There are all sorts of dire warnings explaining how as more devices connect to the Internet (like your digital picture frame or thermostat), we’re going to run out of IP addresses to give them. That means we need to upgrade to IPv6 before we’re forced to share IP addresses or take other measures. This requires a big effort from equipment vendors and site owners who have to build and host IPv6 sites. With the doomsday predictions saying IPv6 addresses will run out some time in 2012, it would appear that the BT 21 Century Network will be finished just in time to become obsolete.

Tidy Up! 1.4.6

Tidy Up! is our next generation duplicate finder and disk tidiness utility.

Here are a few Tidy Up! features:

• Search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, date modified, date created, name, label, visibility and more.
• Search by the tag, duration and bit rate of MP3s and AACs audio files, search the content of the iPhoto, Aperture, iTunes and iPod dababases, search the messages of Mail and synchronize deletions with iTunes, iPhoto and Mail.
• Search for duplicate folders; by name, date modified, date created, label visibility, empty folders, their contents and more.
• Tidy Up! is fast, from 20% to 50% faster than the already fast Doublet Scan. With its multitasking capability, you can do more searches at a time and take advantage of the latest Macintosh computers and operating systems
• Tidy Up! has a security system that assures you will keep at least one file of the duplicate group on your disk, the ability to undo copied and moved items and the ability to restore trashed items as long as the trash is not emptied, even after a restart of the computer.
• Tidy Up! comes with a list of tasks with which you can do some common searches and for a customized strategy, it offer Strategy Wizard. Based on your choices it creates the appropriate criteria with which to search for duplicates and a new "Smart Basket" that will contain the items to be removed.
• Offers a full-size preview of the most commonly used files such as: audio, media, text, pdf, graphics, fonts and more...
• One of the most interesting features of Tidy Up! is the capability to separate, for quick and easy organization, found items using custom criteria via "Smart Baskets."
• Of course Tidy Up! allows you to trash, move, burn and export into html files all found items.
• Tidy Up! is fully customizable and allows you to create your preferred workspace.

WHAT'S NEWVersion 1.4.6:

• Added the possibility to search for a missing song tag.
• Fixed a bug that in certain cases crashed the application when a search used the Type criterion.
• Fixed a bug that in a very rare instance crashed the application when trashing items.
• Fixed other bugs.

Whether your workspace is miles from your home or right there amongst your books and Battlestar Galactica figurines, it probably has something in common with at least a few other Lifehackers' (and mine)—the ability to attract clutter, make important documents and objects hard to find, and, over time, become time an actual impediment to getting things done. Some of us are able to work in a way that doesn't leave things a mess and clean as you go, but for those of us who can't trust our instincts, a system that corrects itself is needed. Today I've rounded up a few of our best tips for getting your workspace in order and keeping it that way without a cerebral transplant. Take one last look at your paper piles and empty coffee cups and read on for inspiration. Photo by frischmilch.
Banish (or resurrect) your junk drawer

Having an extra, hidden-away place to stash things is just a giant fix for a clutter junkie. Take a look inside, and you'll likely find the remainders of a whole bunch of organizational equations you refused to perform—extra parts, novelty schwag, hardly-used tools, and similarly hard-to-file gear.
Inspired by Peter Walsh's It's All Too Much, our own Jason Fitzpatrick trashed or put away the gear in his kitchen's junk drawer, then put it to better use (as an easy-to-select tea drawer) and, through a little space-shuffling, found a way to speed up cooking with easy-to-grab pots and pans. The same principle—sort, return, re-purpose—applies to a workspace, but you don't have to give up on a junk drawer or shelf entirely. The Apartment Therapy blog recommends adding order to your junk space with dividers:
We like bamboo drawer organizers from the Container Store or Bed Bath and Beyond but you can use silverware trays, small jars, gift boxes, muffin tins, food storage containers or a combination to create order.Dividing the space removes the feeling of "anything goes," and makes it more likely you'll think about where a plastic fork can actually be found and used before pitching it in your former catch-all.

Make your desk actually usable

My co-editor Adam knows a good deal about repetitive stress and workspace discomfort, and his guide to setting up a healthy workspace is a great place to start. Just adjusting my office chair to line up better with my laptop screen was worth the read for me, but learning how to mouse goofy—or switch to my left hand when the right feels stiff—will find a place in my schedule. Once I actually felt better while working, applying some basic principles of Getting Things Done to my stuff—keeping things I regularly need close, things I hardly ever use (stacks of business cards, blank CDs, checkbook) farther out—I was less tempted to grab things and clutter my desktop. As sad as it sounds, sometimes just putting something out of reach can be the tipping point for your motivation to mess with it. Still, I had to deal with ...
The perennial problems

Some stuff seems like it's work-related, yet it doesn't actually do much other than creep onto your desk—a problem that can hurt your image at work, and leave you feeling overwhelmed, rather than creative and ready for anything. Paper is the most perennial clutter culprit of them all—if you're not using at least some of Productivity 501's tips on desk organizing, you're missing out. Cables are another seemingly inescapable desk-messer, but there are many creative solutions for them, too. Assuming your normal workflow and gadget set-up is under control, let's tackle the rest.
For everything that's not daily work, try a modified version of the six-month "maybe" box. Get a shoebox (or larger, if necessary) and put nearly every non-essential item from your work area into it, and put it somewhere you'll actually have to get up and walk to. Stick to a plan to review its contents in, say, two weeks. Did you manage to get by without these goods? Did you find a better way when faced with the idea of getting up? Than it really wasn't necessary. Properly put away all the stuff in your box, but consider chucking or donating anything you didn't know you didn't need.
Finally, the filing cabinet

As our commenters have noted, the filing cabinet is like the hard drive that can keep your short-term memory—your brain and your desktop—from having to hold onto stuff that's not necessary at the moment. A good filing system is partially a personal preference, but setting up all those tabs and remembering to put your stuff back ain't easy. Luckily, we've run down the science of sliding folders more than once. Here's some tips on how to:

• Stage an Extreme Makeover, Filing Cabinet Edition: For tips on why a filing cabinet should only be 75% full, and why you should bite the nerd bullet and get a label maker.
• Make a table of contents for your files: Because actually seeing that there's a folder for that receipt you're holding is a lot more effective than hoping you don't toss it in a frenzied clean-up.
• Know how long to keep financial records: Still holding onto paycheck stubs from two years ago? Probably not as important as you might think.
• Hack your bill archives with letterhead: Use all that money Verizon, Comcast, et al. have spent on embedding their logos in your head to good quick-filing use.
• Fight sliding folders with binder clips: Because feeling like you might tip out a mountain of paper on every pull is a good way to keep your desk cluttered.

Your system

This is just one of a number of decluttering projects I plan to undertake, so I'll be testing what works and what doesn't, and posting picture proof, soon enough. But let's hear from our veteran readers and clean-deskers: What's your system for keeping yourself from letting things go? What do you do differently that your more messy-minded colleagues obviously don't? Tell us your take in the comments.
