When I take note on my computer I use windows Notepad. It’s simple, it’s easy to organise, quick to load up and easy to search. During Reboot 7, I tok some notes, these now follow in the format I typed them in.
Lots of very clever people - yet _I_ can understand what people are talking about.
Doc Searls, very clever, very good talker.
The idea that by choosing the metaphor, we can influence how things and the laws that govern them are implementated.

Bloody Swedes, at 2 bloody o'bloody clock in the bloody morning *shouting* outside my door.
Continental breakfast is no such bloody thing whatsoever – it’s bread and honey.
The whole ‘moving into a new flat’ thing is turning into one huge pain in the rear. My electricity and gas are buggered up, I may be getting gas sometime next week, no ida whn my electricity will be fixed. There is dust everywhere, and no matter how much we sweep/brush/vacuum, there just seems to be more of it than ever.
Still, stripping wallpaper is very cathartic.
Two nightshifts now (Wednesday and Thursday), so with a bit of luck I’ll have something interesting to write about soon.
It’s funny to think “Oh good, work, a chance to relax”.
