I saw philcoltsfan18 had made a pretty snazzy Mac take on the Hipster PDA fad http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_make_an_iPad_Booklet_similar_to_hipster_PD/, so when I decided to start Getting Things Done I wanted a Linux theme. Nothing special, just nominal, like his. Anyway, the thing that sets my HPDA apart is the cover. The original concept is simple but hardly elegant; some index cards and a clip. You really need a good cover and somewhere for a pen. I liked the notebook conversions but I wanted something different.
I found it in the form of an old pocket dictionary. Everyone has one somewhere in the house. Having just finished the Leaving Certificate (yay) I had no use for my French dictionary any more, and so when the cover fell off I had no qualms about plundering it for my first ever Instructable.
The LinuPad (of course you need not add the Linux theme if you don't want to) consists of the usual HPDA arrangement, a clip and some index cards, with the cover of a pocket dictionary and a small slot for a pen.
Preamble over, let's get started!
(Also, this is my first ever Instructable, as stated above. Long time lurker, first time poster and all that. Criticism welcomed...I guess. :D )

Required:
1. A collection of 3" x 5" index cards
2. A binder clip or two if you have them (see the step on improvements)
3. A pocket dictionary (e.g., Collins Gem)
4. A pen or marker suitable for attaching to the HPDA
5. A scissors (careful) or craft knife (easy, there) to remove the cover from the dictionary if it's not already fallen off like mine
6. A ruler to measure everything (but you probably won't need this, as I'll tell you everything you need to know, hopefully)
