I imported into my archives every post from a blog I operated in the early to mid 2000s. And my pinboard links and Twitter posts. They’re all private because the person who wrote them is a bit of a dick. Tonight though I went to a talk on the importance of memory institutions at the State Library of NSW. Provoking and inspiring and only partly relevant to this. I was there at the invite of Kris Howard, who has also imported old archives. She allows them to be public though, no matter how embarrassing. She reviews and fixes dead links though and she mentioned a post about a new canon for the computer age that I had commented on. I commented mentioning a book I had to think hard to really recall, The War of Art. Arguably the thrust of that book is “get over yourself, you idiot”. So maybe I should just make them public and still not think of that guy at all.
