I'll admit, 130+ postings in and a few years it is more challenging to remember what I've posted about, and really when I last talked about it. I am pretty good on the short term scale -- I can remember and I do look up what I've done in the last 3 to 6 months, and for certain topics I'll remember a bit longer. Some things I keep on a thread, so I'll be sure to come back to. But I'll admit that in my authoring tool I don't always have good visibility into past posts, and doing a quick survey it doesn't seem I've always done a great job on the category front. So I do want to do a better job there.

I also want to understand what I've already written about, and what I might have said, so I can do a better job of being contextual. I sometimes write about what annoys me, but have things gotten better, or are they the same or worse? Did my opinions change or have I done some learning and see more nuance now? Some of my posts are stand alone, but many are part of a larger set of small and larger goals that I'm looking to achieve.

One of those goals is to get on track with at least one post a week, and I'm on track for that. To make those posts better, there are a bunch of supporting pieces that I am going to be working on over the next little while. A part of that is digging through past pieces and making sure the category is right, but also figuring out a way to extract the meanings a bit and build some kind of index or table of contents which can help. I'm also thinking of a way to redo the file names; right now things work, but honestly its hard to easily scan when listing and it makes for a super busy content directory at the moment. I will consider adding a year in somewhere, to see if that makes things more reasonable.

Finally there is tooling to think about. I'll cover this more in a future entry, but actually writing is clunky, the build and publish process is weird and the cms tool is in need of an update. So,lots to improve and learn about.
