Not a blog

Okay, first up, this isn't a blog. It isn't a journal either (sorry Nimnod :). It is a collection of flat text files that I may or may not serve up in date order through a web server. It has arisen out of a need for me to keep the multitude of ideas in my head somewhere where they don't lost. I was going to use the whiteboard in my office to do this, but I have ideas at strange times and in strange places. It doesn't work so well.

My theory on how all of this should work is that this is a bunch of documents on particular topics. When I've got something to add to a topic, I'll update the document (and I may date it ;-). Topics should be listed somewhere in date order, where "date" is the last modification date. In other words, they may jump around a bit depending on when I edit things. That's kind of how my mind works, so it make sense to me :)

It is probably going to be mostly technical crap (to quote Nimnod), and that's probably going to piss Nimnod off at some stage because she doesn't like technical crap, but there are reasons for that. Part of it is that I don't do diaries. I don't like the idea of posting stuff that's personal to a publically accessible anything. The other part is probably that I couldn't be bothered.

I might put other stuff here - I've already thought of recipes, but don't expect it to ever be a blow by blow account of what happened yesterday. It is just a collection of random thoughts.

So it is a collection of random thoughts, not a blog, or a journal or a diary. Do I repeat myself? I really should stop doing that, it is irritating :)

Oh, and I don't spell check or anything. You don't like the way I write, go hug a tree or something. Enough said.
