Oh tell me about it! It took us a month to get a decent internet connection here and I felt like I’d lost half my brain

I wonder how many people with degenerative diseases affecting cognitive ability would be interested in your type of information hoarding and accessibility, I know we have dogear, tag etc, but that just ADDS to the mess.

IMHO you should be able to ‘transport’ the internet into your very own ‘me-net’ at the click of a button, then highlight your interesting items and save to a taxonomy which would essentially map those synapses you so deftly describe.

You know me so well – yes I did read to the end and under ‘interesting’ and re ‘Ye gads’, can I add ‘gadzooks’ – don’t know where that comes from either.
I would also have to add a further information type – Useless – I have a mine of that.

I’m another computer addict, and I can feel uneasy or simply bored when Mrs C and I go away on holiday. And since Mrs C got her laptop (plus a wi-fi internet connection), she’s become greatly interested too. On holiday we often do an “easy” crossword together, but then we both wish we’d got internet access to look something up on Google or oneacross dot com.
I look forward to seeing how “onemanwrites” develops.
