I remember fun things with things like LISP things for EMACS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my writing lately, it&#8217;s all within an OS-native browser.  I typically type into WordPress, then copycasta other places.  But I can save the archives in XML files I can easily move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I probably ought to write scripts to scp things periodically, but manual copying and pasting makes it um&#8230;yeah, I&#8217;ll get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that WP uses documented, open data specifications makes me feel a bit better about throwing my data into it.  When OD went on hiatus, I just had ASCII files of all I&#8217;d ever written there from the export tool.  Some of the things I&#8217;d done with things like black text on a black background get lost.  In the XML file, maybe, things won&#8217;t disappear so easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess I could print things to PDF, too, but holy god that&#8217;d be unwieldy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still do need to consolidate some, but it&#8217;s not been something high on the priority list.  I say that as I write in a house where I basically can&#8217;t find anything, and am trying to figure out how much energy I want to spend on trying to get this set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write about your writing tools.
