Cool. You're eight days older than me.

I didn't really expect many people to be finding this post.

It stands out a lot on the calendar view - having '1980' listeed as a year. :o)

Well, point.

I intend, eventually, to make my LJ into something that spans my entire life. I've already started importing old entries from other forms of journaling into it.

I noticed some of those.

My LJ is the first time I've really managed to keep a journal. It's very convenient to update, and knowing that - if you want it - the potential exists for feedback is useful.

I have kept a journal for the past twelve years, off and on.

This is just the first time I've kept one in one place this long.

Those little books fill up fast, and I've learned how not to make any one journal file too big on the computer. DELETED!

The only other time I kept a journal - which lapsed relatively quickly - was on my first Palm PDA, so I didn't worry about space.

But then, I've always had my own computer, so putting space aside for something like that wouldn't've been an issue.

No, you see -- it wasn't that the file was objectively too big for the computer, it was that the little high school freshman idiot didn't make a backup copy, and lost X number of months, when if we'd made a separate file for each month, we only could lose one month at a time if any single file went wonky.

Ahh, I understand now.

I eventually moved to separate files on the Palm, just because it only had a 4k length limit with the built-in memo program, which I hit after a few weeks. I think I ended up writing once a week, then once every while, then I just gave up full stop.

It's probably still on my current Palm, locked away behind the password protection.

I write a lot more now than a did then. ;o)

Still, though, my record for number of posts in one calendar day is either 21 or 22... so even if I'm writing more now, I'm still a loooong way behind. ;o)

Approximately 99% of my posts on private are chat logs. I say things in IM that I know I'll want to remember that I said later, so I save 'em all on Private.

Should I mention that I also have a sweatshirt which has 'GEEK' written on it?

I log everything.

I have a terrible memory, so it makes me really happy that when talking online you can record everything in an easily searchable form for later use.

I MU* a lot, and have autologging set up. ~/tf-logs, the log directory, currently sits at 56 megs.

There's another 30 megs of older stuff in ~/Documents/MUX\ Stuff/Logs/.

My IM logs aren't so long, since it's only relatively recently that I've started using IM clients for talk a lot again, and my old ICQ archives got corrupted and I lost a lot of stuff.

I've also got 150 megs of email, and I've got 'deleted messages' going back to the first of July, 2002.

You can keep /everything/ online. Stuff takes up so little space. All of that together wouldn't fill a CD a third of the way. A few albums in MP3 format would be bigger. But there's so much there, thousands of pages of thoughts and ideas, silly chats and trivial stuff, and really important things - points where my life changed.

Most people have photo albums they look through. I re-read old logs.

I have very good memory.

But it's also flighty.

So, I log everything.

I am pondering how I am to get my e-mails into LJ with ease for me. They should, ideally, be Memoried so that I can look up all my mails with Mama.

Is there a paticular reason to use LJ for that?

I keep all my email on an IMAP server which is running on my local machine... I can categorise it however I like, and I can use just about any email client (so I'm not tied down to one client's format).

I can also run a webmail server which lets me access my email remotely.

It's a good solution, and allows for categorising emails however I like.

Of course, I only know how to set it up under Mac OS X (or any unix-like OS, really), which probably wouldn't be much use to you. :o)

I don't have Neo (my linux box) on the network yet.

I tend to use LJ for organizing things by time, as it's a nice useful tool for me.

It is useful, and as blogging services go fairly unique with the 'friends list' concept. It's archiving services are okay... as long as you have a local copy, I suppose. I'd not be too ready to trust LJ to keep my data around indefinitely...

Heeeeyyyy... you have the same birthday as me... just two years earlier!!! =)

I also discovered this entry by looking at your calendar and realizing you had it dated back to 1980. =)

Anyway... awesome, awesome... thought that was pretty cool that we share the same birthday, with the difference of two years.

It is neat. My best friend in first through third grade has my same birthday, and we were even born in the same hospital.
