Tonight's discards include:

• Manuals for devices I no longer possess.
• Computer games for antique operating systems.
• Professional journals, including one of my few publications. Good times.
• Notes from past jobs.
• Notes for doomed spare-time projects.
• Notes from professional conferences I went to in the 1990s.

People in my profession sure talk about some boring stuff! But did you guys know I saw Douglas Adams give a speech? Neither did I! My notes from that session say "Douglas Adams".

Was it just someone talking about Douglas Adams?

Good point.

I should get rid of some of that stuff.

I actually did hear Douglas Adams give the keynote speech at SIGGRAPH 96 (http://www.siggraph.org/conferences/siggraph96/core/media/final.html), but I'm sorry to say I don't remember much about it.

Neither did the guy who posted before you.

I'll take the manuals for devices I no longer posses and the notes for doomed spare-time projects.
