Beginnings (or the problems with notebooks)



I keep notebooks. Separate ones for different activities. Really just notes meant for me to reference later when I want to remember what I did to make a particular thing. For the most part it works, the necessary notes get written and they are legible. Still, I need to flip through the whole thing with no index other than the everything is in chronological order, more or less. That's easy when the notebook is mostly empty. Problem is they're mostly full.

Another problem is that every time someone asks for information, like a recipe or the history of abbreviations, I've got to find the appropriate entry or entries, type it up into something another person will understand, and then email it. If someone else asks about the same thing, chances are I don't have a copy of that email and I do it all over again. Seems silly.

So...here's to trying a blog.
