Del DeVries : Log Book

Following a path through various blog entries and when I came to this description of Log Book at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?LogBook

... where you log and probably describe and explain your activities while performing it. Not an agenda.
Problem:
You want to stop forgetting about how you did things in the past, or what you were thinking at a certain moment.
You want to organize your thinking while working.
You want to keep legal records of your actions.
You want to record your activities.
Context: A log book keeps track of knowledge acquired over time. It can be a record of data, thoughts, or activities. It answers the question "What did you know and when did you know it?" It documents the rationale for the actions you take.

A similar concept is the Programmers Notebook, http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ProgrammersNotebook

Bob Walsh at ToDoOrElse.com posts a note about a great video today with a time flash through the web ... starting with paper and pencil, moving to a digital page, moving on to HTML with content for format combined, then to CSS / XML era with content only in the page and format external, through the ability to move data around, and ending with several messages overlaid about content creation, linking, indexing, and search. The video provides a nice time capsule of the history of the web to date.
