Well, it is about time to start keeping track of what I am doing on a daily basis again. My memory seems to be failing me, so the only thing I have to rely on is my words. Journaling will also have the added benefit of improving my writing style, getting me back to where I once was.
I am uncertain whether I should continue using The Journal, which has all of my historical entries and a great interface, but leaves me with different entries for each system I use. The advantage of journaling here is that I can access it from my desktop, my laptop and my phone. I can upload pictures to it as well. The data will be backed up regularly, so disasters will not destroy it, or so I assume.
For now, I will give this a try. I may also start working in The Journal again. The main aversion I have to that is that I will be sending my desktop in for upgrades and repairs shortly, and won’t have a way to journal during the time that it is gone.
I am not just starting to journal again. I am thinking of starting a blog for my house. I could call it The Hobbit Hole or something similar. In the blog, I can journal about what I do with it, upgrades that I make and decoration choices. Nobody will want to read it, but I think it would be fun anyway.
