notes, memos, notes ... Space at Terminal to write this text inspired by two things. The first one to edit a
Piątkowa Five Borejki blog, unfortunately, the other is life itself. I realized that, in those of my notes, which served the accumulation of ideas associated with various games, both written by me, there is almost indescribable mess.
Already some time ago, almost entirely gave up writing on cards or in notebooks. Beside the fact that I visit very rarely at home (once every two weeks I'll pick at the moment), the method proved quite ineffective, not least because of the fact that later they had to rewrite these notes "kompa". The booklet goes into motion only in two cases - when I can no longer look at the computer or when I go somewhere, for example, for a few days at the lake (PC + recreation trips = total failure). It is true that theoretically freed me from having to dig through tons walających here and there, notebooks, cards and any other scraps of paper, but unfortunately does not facilitate the work.
One of the biggest advantages of writing in electronic form is ease of dating. The ability to determine the exact date when the text was whether the idea of \u200b\u200bmy career swerve - to this day I regret that many of my old texts do not have a date on the margins - after years I'm not even sure in which year that was a once in a while (read: few years) I like to dig through my paperwork to "reminisce" and see if some of the old ideas still to something suitable. Probably few of you devoted such attention to the dates up, but hey - everyone has some curvature.
Another, no doubt advantage of the electronic format is the ease of editing, correction and change. Unfortunately, it can take revenge on humanity - often happened to me that crossed or blurred, initially rejected my ideas were sometimes being used - when writing on the computer often this type of information is lost, especially when we recall that only a few days, when the file was already saved a few / several times. In total, this is one of the main reasons for my working files contain a terrible mess - the information is almost always are written one below the other, without removing the text. This causes that some sentences contradict the previous year (although they usually point out why this happens), but much less so happens that I "lost" ideas, especially those created on the spur of the moment.
Unfortunately, this type of writing down ideas, has one huge drawback - it's all okay as long as the file is created on the fly, and remember "what is where." However, already after a few days to inform the document instead of got me confused and confusing. I'm just not able to fathom out what I meant, and often takes me a while to understand their own text and figure out which version was definitive.
Another drawback is the format of the electronic notes from the specific stripping of "magic" - there is no tea stains, smarków worn in the margins (yes!) Or crushed mosquitoes in the middle of the text, figures and gryzmołów nasty, signs of a desperate fight dying contribution to the pen, dropped thread while searching for another, this time acting pisadła, awkward "ornamental" titles, curvy highlight the text, maps, hastily drawn ... Or maybe I just miss it?
The defect could also include archiving (x copies of the email, Boxie, plates and pendrajwach, which is hard to fathom), transfer between computers (I use currently only two, but for about three years my files littered on six different machines and find the current version of my documents were able to hurt), but something I do not want - it's fairly obvious things, and I think that everyone should develop their own way of dealing with these problems. I should also mention any kind of Google Docs and related inventions (for example, when I try to make something together and prepare at least understandable version of the file, use the personal blogs that have developed a labeling system that allows the capture of the situation), but recently the internet with the one I use is so fickle that I prefer to save everything to disk. Although it was just that I write the text directly in the window of Blogger and now if something goes wrong, it's probably "gone to fall": D
in total is the same - if I remember anything else, I would probably publish it as a separate "article" . I am happy to found out also, as you do you handle notes - please comment.
PS. But I was able to move again with the writing! Until I have to pyknąć in Burnout and smash a few cabbage: F
