[I suppose I could have elaborated somewhat, but I’m just not feeling it]
The past has a tendency to oppress the future.
The weight of past efforts puts unwarranted value on their topics.
Incomplete activities can be seen as an investment and are given importance. This bias exists even though we have limited time, and we view our current/future actions against a return on investment (RoI).
It is a little true that there is some investment in the past. An overall understanding of the goals can be seen as an advantage compared with un-pursued new activities.
One’s hobby needs to be the processing of past works; reviewing them for value and either identifying them as needing to be done or throwing them away. Otherwise the amount of ideas generated will become overwhelming.
Don’t be chained to nostalgia or that tradition-of-self, filled with the regrets of things not completed “yet”.
Freedom is more important than politeness.
Expression is more important than respect.
Good and bad are not defined on some external naughty-or-nice list.
They are maintained internally.
They depend on circumstance and consequence.

I was in one of my moods, so I’m sure that didn’t help. She didn’t react favourably – probably because she was in one of her moods, and she dropped the ban hammer. But since I’m anti-deletionist I kept everything.

It’s my nature to gain and lose interest in things, like the tides coming and going. I’ve tried all sorts of tricks to schedule and change focus, but they just don’t work for me. So I’m going to declare a new way of doing things. A way which works to my advantage. I’ll call it “rotating immersion“.

Something that’s been on my mind recently was the process of troubleshooting. Specifically troubleshooting while asking for help.

Every once and a while I go through old notes, todo items and such. Today I bumped back into the GNU Proofreaders mailing list. It’s an effort which herds cats towards improving documentation.
