It's been fun going though some of my own entries with the new “this day” feature [1]. One thing I've noticed is that I used to write way more entries in the past than I do now. Part of that may be the newness of online journaling. Another part might be there was less risk of repeating myself [2]. Perhaps I hadn't run out of things to say? Who knows?
I did find a stash of unfinished entries [3] from the time I started working at Negiyo when I checked out this day of October 13^TH [4]. At first, I was afraid the partial text was due to a bug, but no, the 13^TH of October, 2000 [5] really is a few sentence fragments, along with a whole bunch of other non-entries that month—I guess I never finished those. And that entry for October 30^TH, 2000 [6]? It's not cut off—apparently I came across the source code for ITS (Incompatible Timesharing System) [7]. But I can't even remember what I wanted to say, much less where I stuffed said source code. And what was up with the security guard and the Bible [8]? I want to know! I need closure!
Curse my younger self for not finishing these entries!
