He's putting horrible men in positions that will allow them to freely do the things that horrible men do.

Several years ago, I started a single Tinderbox file with the intention that it would be a personal journal, notebook, and blog, all wrapped up in one document.

It was a neat idea, and I had fun wrangling things together for a while. Eventually, though, it became overly complex and I was breaking things regularly. Not a good look for my everyday/everything notes tool.

I split the files into individual Daybook.tbx and Blog.tbx files. It felt cleaner, with less chance of doing things that broke other things.

I'm having second thoughts. Tinderbox performance has improved over the years. Computers are really fast. I don't think it matters how many notes I throw into a single Tinderbox document. And I know more than I did then about how to isolate and export notes.

Tomorrow morning, if this still seems like a good idea, I'm going to work on refactoring and combining those documents again. That way, I can just hammer away at the day's outline and, by setting an attribute or two, have it appear on the blog, or the changelog, or the movie log, or wherever I need it. I get a diary and a blog and a notebook all in one.

That's the idea, but I'm going to sleep on it.
