The Brain
What do you need?
- Wordpress on your domain
- Password prompt and BasicAuth Wordpress plugin
- Email receive hook to create posts from email
- For IRC notifications, need the Wordpress IRC plugin https://github.com/aaronpk/Wordpress-IRC-Notification
Words in the post title get turned into tags
Types of content archived

- Emails sent and received
- BCC'd the wordpress site on important or interesting emails sent or received
- PDFs

- Audio recordings
- Screenshots of websites (mostly to Flickr)
Other private info
- bank account numbers
Things I would like to archive privately
- Sleep logs
- Personal life logger
- Not necessarily concerned with privacy of content, but most people don't care about the details of things like sleep logs, runs, food eaten
npdoty
- blog is really just emails written and BCC'd
- http://bcc.npdoty.name
Other services
- Evernote - but this is a startup that may be acquired and shut down (see http://indiewebcamp.com/site-deaths)
- Zotero - citation manager
- Pinboard for bookmarks
- Flickr for photos
The case against everything buckets
- http://al3x.net/2009/01/31/against-everything-buckets.html
- the problem is that any system that requires you to create a title or choosing a category before creating content will eventually fail you at some point in the future
- create now, tag later
