Books of books

I post some notes on three different weblogs, including this one, and maintain three other websites as well. On all of them I've been writing short and medium-length pieces for some time. I also have a collection of similar pieces I've written since I started using computers. (The only ones that have survived have been plain ASCII files, by the way.)

I've decided I'd like to have a way to keep track of all this stuff, but I want to do as little work as possible. For example, I don't particularly want to reread everything all at once, and I really don't want to insert metadata in each document, nor do I want to insert them all in to some kind of database.

So what are my choices? Not sure yet, but it seems like an interesting question.

From The Shifted Librarian: Web Evaluation Checklist.

"The checklist is currently only available in PDF format (file size is 18Kb). It is a simple 2-page checklist you can use when evaluating sites."

This looks like a great tool; I've found that simple checklist-style usability guides are so easy that they are followed. Even a bit of attention to usability is good news!
