An Old Organizational System I've written before about my fondness for organizational systems which simply map items to ascending integers, and it occurred to me I should organize my writing in this way. Some lunatics are far too concerned with date formats, I prefer ISO 8601 and ISO standards make for a fine example of ordering things in this way too, and genuinely care about the limitation of four-digit years; it's obvious to me how man ought to move beyond these silly solar dates by then, and how all time requires unbounded integers at some level. Regardless, it's a good idea to organize my writing by integers in addition to by dates. From now on, my website leads a URL with an integer path to the corresponding article. This numbering starts from one.

Unlike the WWW, a Gopher selector string is considered to be both opaque and meaningless; selector strings aren't supposed to be shown to the user. Furthermore, a map would be necessary to communicate the proper item type and therefore would look exactly the same as the current map, which clearly makes such an act pointless. .
