      I had no idea I’ll have to type in an extra book’s length in words in the process of writing a book!

      (It’s funny how some of the passages I was retyping were about the lost art of retyping.)

      This feels petrifying (I’m basically looking at 47 blank pages instead of the usual one), but also I’m incredibly excited about it.

      I can see it all, now, for the first time ever. I see a chronological spine, interspersed with excursions in all sorts of fun directions.

          I think I have a VT100 manual with circuit diagrams if that would be useful (if I can find it)

          Every time you tweet about this I hope that I’ll be able to buy a hardcover copy when you finish. Please tell me this is true!

          The chapter about arrow keys has Moon landing in it. The one about keylogging will start with Sully landing the plane in the Hudson.

          This has been of my favourite parts of writing so far – making the kinds of connections I suspect no one’s made before.
