In August 2021 I wrote a short post saying I was going to move my Evernote notes onto this blog. Then I did not. A lot has happened since.

The notes kept coming. There are about 270 of them now, written between 2014 and 2021: a command that finally worked, a paper I read carefully, a bug that took an afternoon. Most are a page or less. They are not essays, and they were never meant to be read by anyone else — they are what learning by doing looks like when you write it down at the end of the day.

I have been through them all now. A small number are close to publishable with light editing. A larger number are ingredients: they describe one piece of something that only makes sense as a whole post. The rest are private, obsolete, or not mine to republish.

So some of them are moving here. If a post is wrong, tell me. If a post is useful, tell me that too — it decides which of the other 250 notes get written up.
