Self-Tweet of the Day, Keep Good Documentation edition.
I’m serious about this. Keep those sites up!
I just fixed my display banner stand, using an old website where the images were broken but the instructions were still readable. Once I had an obvious thing explained to me, the rest was simple.

Did you see that Humble Bundle has a large collection of map making software on sale this week?
Good documentation is an affront to history. All of your notes should be on used napkins, the inside of matchbooks, postcards left inside library books, and unmarked time capsules and geocaches outside of North America.
All notes should also be written in broken rhyming couplets with no complete work in a single location, or as a series of dialect and slang based in-jokes, or in FORTRAN. Otherwise, you leave no fun for future scholars in investigating lost/missing works or arguing about the meaning of such ephemera.
