Memex

Since my memex was private for a long time, I don't just want to publish all of it, with all the embarrassing personal stuff. I only publish pages in the publish subdirectory and am slowly moving pages there. One nice Org Mode feature is that it errors on broken internal links, so if I accidentally link to a non-public page from a public one, I can catch that and plug the metadata leak. But this also means that I have to move linked pages manually. I recently (<2025-01-22 sze>) extended my publish script to help me with that task. Bash is still horrible but I know it well enough that it was the fastest way to cobble this together.

The genius of the blog was not in the note-taking, it was in the publishing. The act of making your log-file public requires a rigor that keeping personal notes does not. Writing for a notional audience — particularly an audience of strangers — demands a comprehensive account that I rarely muster when I’m taking notes for myself.
