I was moving some stuff in the basement on the weekend (to make way for more stuff) and I discovered a box on the floor that contained piles of examples of my work during a certain period of my career. It was from the heady early days for desktop publishing when we first started exploring the use of computers to do graphic design and layout. Unfortunately the box had lain in a damp part of the floor and much of the lower portion of the box was a solid sodden mess of newsprint, negatives and magazines. I discovered all sorts of things in there I had long forgotten about: magazine articles I had written or were written about me, posters that mentioned I would be speaking at a certain event. It was odd to see it all reduced to this sodden smelly mess. I managed to recover about a sixth of it and had to toss the rest out. It filled a garbage bag.
Well, nothing like circumstance to force you to clean up. I am pretty bad at that sort of thing so at least it gave me a criteria for the clean up: Mouldy = Toss, Clean = Keep.
