The act or power of recollecting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Strangely when I started writing this post in my t-break and found Andrew’s blog is blocked by our filters, I recolled the prompt as remembrance<\/em>.<\/p>\n My Recollection is helped by my blog. I fairly regularly search it to aid my rather shaky memory. In fact I’ve an Alfred shortcut that helps with that.<\/p>\n I also love looking back either at random or to see what I find for the particular day. A while back i made a plugin<\/a> but it had a few problems, luckily it inspired Alan<\/a> who made a better one<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not only does that give me a nice page<\/a> but I can show one particular date like by using [postedtoday month=\"11\" day=\"1\"]<\/p>\n There are 12<\/strong> posts found on this site published on November 1<\/p> This stuff takes me back to things fully and half forgotten. \u00a0One of the posts from the 1st of November 2005<\/a>\u00a0links to a presentation I made to fellow teachers about blogging. It now rests in the Internet Archive, in a fairly broken format a bit like my memory. Blogging among other things is a tool for recollection, depending on frail technology and relying on foresight, which in hindsight could do with some work.<\/p>\n This post was inspired by Andrew Canion’s Blogvember Prompt List<\/a>. <\/em>This arrived in micro.blog at he same time as #mbnov, microblogvember<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" recollection #blogvenmber 1 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"mf2_syndication":["https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnjohnston\/status\/1190328521484390401"],"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[660],"tags":[1049],"post_format":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11143","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-micro","7":"tag-blogvember","8":"kind-note","9":"kind-","10":"h-entry","11":"hentry"},"better_featured_image":null,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p57zFQ-2TJ","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"kind":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11143"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11155,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11143\/revisions\/11155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11143"},{"taxonomy":"post_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_format?post=11143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Screenshot-2019-11-01-at-17.39.51.png\")
