ScuzzBlog: Diaries March 2017

Entry 13th March 2017: Post: 1


The retro gods hate me


Andrew

I spend a lot of time designing images for my diary and they rotate every 
day. The diary is a web page on my own intranet. Navigate image to the left 
is 600x300 and will be a feature for the month. Next to this is the text for 
the day with links to what is going on in my world. The right is a 600x800 
daily image with text and humorous content often. Its a kinda no holes 
barred type of snapshot for the day which I create days before and just give 
a date name so I can quickly edit the page content and like magic the images 
change each day. The bottom of the page are a series of 100x150 icons 
created by me with links to all my pages. I have no idea why but all my 
diaries are listed in a folder called mdiary. I can go back to the dawn of 
my diaries and find exactly what I did. Having the links and whole folder 
links lets me view content for each period of my computer life. My folders 
and files are always in the same drive name and listing so things are always 
constantly available. When I get a new drive I just change it to the 
previous letter and copy over the content. The only thing that changes is 
the size of the drive.

In front of me sitting on top of a shelf is all my previous drives in a 
line. And what I can't find on a linked direct drive resides on a computer 
networked to the machine. Its a system that I have used for as long as I can 
remember. From as early as the ZX81 I was writing databases and records for 
everything. Before that it was paper and card indexes.... I just have to 
find stuff. HTML is the best though. A true friend.

I your life is worthwhile how else are you going to remember it. Like the 
single line from a favourite song a written memory can spark and relive 
moments long forgotten. Bit like using the Pensieve in Harry Potter.....

' The Pensieve of Hogwarts was a magical instrument used by the Heads to 
view memories. Professor Albus Dumbledore used it to review particular 
memories of Tom Riddle, among other things, and to give Harry Potter private 
lessons during the 1996–1997 school year. It remained in the Headmaster's 
office after Dumbledore's passing, so was also used after the death of 
Severus Snape by Harry Potter to review the memories Snape had given him. '

You better not get me going on gaming guides and the like. We'd be here all 
night.
