A writing a journal for your children is a wonderful thing to leave as your legacy to them.
- Buy a nicely bound journal that looks like it would be neat to inherit – one for each of your children. I bought 3 Moleskine notebooks. I selected it because it because I thought it had a rich history of famous writers, then when writing this entry I read in the Wikipedia entry that the rich history was marketing hogwash, but I digress…
- Get a slick looking pen with acid free ink. I actually don’t know if it makes a difference, but I feel more authoratative writing with it
- When the spirit moves you write a letter to your child in the journal. The goal is to leave a little bit of yourself for your children, forever.
- When you pass, make sure the journals are someplace such that your progeny will find them.
I am very crappy at keeping a journal, but I figure even if I only write an entry or two annually, that will still be some substantial messages from me to my children. I am assuming I will survive many more years, which may require some exercise, but that is a different story for a different day.

A few accomplishments this evening:
- I added an article on the Sandisk Ducati to geekisaverb.com. I am a huge fan.
- Did some troubleshooting around the geekisaverb.com tagging system. Currently there is no tagging. It just doesn’t work. Feel free to go comment or rate articles, though…
- Completed another article for the professional blog, on the topic of “Goal Oriented Diagramming.” “What’s that?”, you ask. RTFB.
.
- Realized that if 200 words is a good length for blog content, then I am blabbering too much on my professional blog.
- Made minor progress on the web application on which I am working.
- Wrote this. (Weak, I agree. Both this entry AND the self reference.)

I decided tonight to give some attention to poor, neglected geekisaverb.com.
I pimped the commenting system (okay, I bought a much better commenting system and tweaked it), then finished and published my Roboform article.
I also did the usual checking of google analytics. I determined I am reading my blogs slightly more frequently than I did last month.

I have noticed that life is a series of phases, in each of which you think you have no time to spare and it is only in a latter phase that you realize how much free time you had to squander. I suspect this trend will reverse, but alas, such is not yet the case.
So for starters, my estimate regarding the time I had to spend on becoming fabulously wealthy online was greatly exaggerated. Family holiday season starts early November, so more quality time spent with the family means less geeking; work at my current client site is getting busy as the mad rush to hit end of year deadlines looms; and plus (a shout out to any Junie B. Jones readers out there) future growth of the small consulting company I work for is looking good, so I have been focusing time and energy on that.

So I tried to just jump in and fiddle with some PHP code, but it is not in my nature to be that casual about development. Little by little I have tweaked my environment, so that now I am close to my comfort zone.
As previously mentioned, I installed Komodo and have my project now fully configured, including integration with Subversion, which is a “one click” install for hosting at Dreamhost.

I went to bed quite happy with my progress last night. I added a blog entry to my professional blog on task management (ironic, huh) and made some substantial inroads on the web application:
