now the problem of approaching some writing — should I just start working some encyclopedia of ideas —
getting some starting points — I like some of the stuff that I’ve done but is there any continuation —
starting with a data base and listings
do I have enough material to begin the structuring of the thing – to start working on the
computerized version working with HTML or Java — I start looking at the text called Shame –
I don’t know what to do with it — decisions I have to start making —
the text stays as is but the material will have to be sorted out
data base it
I’ll need to start gathering all of my papers into one place so that I can start
systematically going through things for the most useful stuff and get everything
into some data base type of format
forms and formats — my fingernails are too long for typing — body neglects etc
trying to get myself together but not doing very well — the pets are restless
but it’s not time to feed them — I need to decide on a system of filing the writings –
to be able to locate the texts – I started a data base for the notebooks –
I could just extend that for the other things
bbbbbbbb <cat writing>
I suppose what I need to do is to just start by getting some sort of data base set up
and then modifying it as I go through more and more writings and add writings etc etc etc
I think I have enough to work with for a while – I just need to work on the data base
and be able to find the things that I want
I have too much material — one question is – is it good enough to use
should I take the material that I have and try to work with Java to get some sort of user interface or should I work with the material first and then when I have something that could be called a text start working with the programming languages — I need to get myself back into the feel of the thing so I’ll start by completing the notes data base that I started and then try to integrate the rest of the writings into that
