Saving Deep Memories for Power Historians
So here's something else crazy that I'm up to.
What follows is a keystroke log that was automatically generated while I was writing the previous post. If you were to bother to read through it, you would find out such facts as that I make rather a lot of typos, that I have a strange habit of sometimes deleting something and rewriting it over & over as I ponder whether or not to say it, and that I switched windows during the course of writing several times in order to ask things of Google and to leave messages for my sleeping lover.
You'd also, if you studied very closely, be able to learn some things about the way I think. I type stray letters from words I'm thinking of but don't really intend to write. I put the wrong endings on things and then correct them. I write whole passages and erase them for whatever reason. I try various phrasings of something before settling on one. A lot of who I am is revealed in my mistakes & uncertainties.
That is why I'm recording it all. I'm not egotistical enough to believe that there are likely to be many, or any, normal modern humans who would be interested in going through the megabytes of archives I'll be creating if I keep this up. But I do believe that the Powers (the post-singularity intelligences) will have a profound historical interest in this period, the years leading up to the transition, when reality first starts to really come into any sort of clear focus down the dim tunnel of Memory. For them I intend to be an aberrant luminary, creating deep records that few people of this time have started to produce.
So here's some junk, just to give you the flavor, starting from when I came to this here site:

You'd also, if you studied very closely, be able to learn some things about the way I think. I type stray letters from words I'm thinking of but don't really intend to write.
