(Still, I believe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elsua.net\/2012\/08\/16\/how-narrating-your-work-helps-you-become-more-effective-by-saving-precious-time\/\">narrating your work<\/a> is the right thing to do and I hope to get around to doing this.) If you want to know what I value, in programming and beyond, you\u2019ll get a pretty good impression from the quotes I\u2019m collecting here.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a typical link blog, I filter out quite heavily: I have accumulated 1,500 entries over 10 years, about three per week. Which is only 2% of the 140 articles I bookmark per week. (I\u2019m spending half an hour per day reading work related stuff; I\u2019m subscribed to more than 170 RSS feeds and currently follow 158 Twitter accounts.)

I wouldn\u2019t want to miss its capability to archive a web page through a Firefox extension, generating screen shots (which you are seeing in this blog), extracting the text and putting all this into a fulltext-searchable archive. When the pages I link to go away or URLs are broken, I have a copy of the full text and layout. This has become an important part of my personal digital knowledge base.<\/p>\n<p><em>Update:<\/em> I <a href=\"\/tim\/weblog\/archives\/2015\/02\/28\/1756\">switched the blog backend to my Topic Maps engine<\/a>, it no longer runs on DC-X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten years ago, in the September of 2002, I started publishing work notes and links on this page: Here\u2019s the first post from the archives\u2026 I\u2019m keeping this blog strictly work related (as I do with my Twitter account).
