Located a keycap puller for my housemate to borrow in about five seconds and was able to retrieve it in less than thirty, thanks to my inventory system. Feels good when a system works so smoothly!

@lykso Thanks for the reply! · 10 months ago
@danrl Thanks. A 20ft storage container does sound like a big unindexed space to have to rummage through to find things! Happy to share, and I hope it ends up helping you. · 10 months ago
that is a beautiful and simple system! i keep my inventory in my head and it is a pain sometimes when my wife asks me for a particular tool or item. my stuff lives in a 20ft storage container for the most part. it needs a system like yours. thanks for sharing! · 10 months ago
@gritty Thanks for saying so. Haven't had to modify the system at all since I last updated that page. Happy to say it's been working well for me so far! · 10 months ago

@arkaeriit
I detail it here:
gemini://lyk.so/systems/bins/
In short, I numbered a bunch of small boxes, wrote numbers on my stuff, put the stuff in the boxes, and kept track of which number item goes in which number box (along with some other info that made sense to me for the item's category, e.g., a "length" field for cables) in tab-separated value files (one per category of item in order to allow category-specific fields). I also wrote a script for looking things up with fzf and assigned it a hotkey in my window manager, so I can do a full text search of all my inventory entries at a moment's notice. · 10 months ago
What is that inventory system? · 10 months ago
