The decision... 2004-02-17 15:53:37+01 by Marius Nordbø

[]

I have decided to use a tool called the Journal, installed locally on my hard-drive. The functionality there are much better than in this blog.

I also ended up wanting to avoid using the Internet. I don't want to share eveything with everybody.

One more thing that affected my decision was the fact that in the Journal you write in "rich text"-style, not HTML. That makes it all easier.

Marius is (b)logging out...

The blog seems to have a calender like I wrote about. But it isn't at the main blog. Press on the "Link"-link and it will appear. At that page it is easy to maneuver around in the blog according to dates and months.

Maybe it is posssible to do something about the placement of the calender, and who knows, maybe I will find some folder options too...

When I edit an entry, does the time-stamp change and that way always reflect when the entry was written? The org timestamp: 11:45:22.

The timestamp doesn't change. The good thing about this is that you can correct errors whitout the entry getting placed at the wrong date, that way you keep it organized.

I would very much like to have a calender, so that I easy can get to entries written earlier. I think maybe a calender can be good to have even if you know the exact date or not.

It might be preferable to have folders like; January, February etc.

Positive aspects:
The blog is simple and it is easy to follow the entries chronologically. But I have only posted 4 entries...

It seems to be easy to administrate the blog and the pages for editing/entry/admin are easy to use.

Keeping the blog organized 2003-12-03 11:28:55+01 by Marius Nordbø

At first glance it doesn't look like there are any features in this MyPHPblog which I can use to organize my entries. I would very much like to organize entries into folders with topic names like; Litterature, Blogs, Fiels of practice, Refelctions and so on.

My previous web log, a Movabletype, does have this feature. I think being able to organize the entries is imperative. When I have written in my blog for a whole year, preferably every day, I need to index them to find relevant information.

This doesn't look good...

Can I trust it? 2003-12-03 11:18:10+01 by Marius Nordbø

I wonder if I can be sure that all my notes (log) will be safe if I use this blog. I see that the URL contains the word "demo.php". That I don't like. Is this blog a temporary thing? Is there a chance I have to change blogs half way through my project? If so, I will not choose this blog as my tool.

Changing the name 2003-12-02 13:34:18+01 by Marius Nordbø

One can actually change the name of the blog after you have started it up. That is good, since I at this moment have no good names at hand. "Marius" is not really inventive.

First entry 2003-12-02 13:27:39+01 by Marius Nordbø

This is my first entry and I have already learned my first lesson. I wrote a long entry about how I intend to use my blog. But then I pressed the wrong button and all of what I had written was gone. Hopeless!

So, here I go again writing the text locally before posting it on the web...

I am looking for the best way to document the work on my master thesis. I can use a notebook, planner, which I can write in(handwriting), a digital notebook stored locally on my HDD or I can use a web log, like this one.

Last semester I actually got my first web log. I named it mlog. This blog I did not use that much, mainly because I felt I didn't need it. Now I am starting a whole year of work, I I need some kind of diary or log.

Now I intend to see if I should use this blog or my Moveable type web log from last semester.

Let the test begin...
