good ideas.txt
I wanted to revisit an idea I was researching years ago. I remember taking plenty of notes on it, but I can't find them anywhere now. Nothing in Obsidian, nothing in my bookmarks, nothing on my phone.
Best guess is it's all saved in a single text file. Somewhere, forgotten, in a Safe Place. Probably named something helpful like "idea.txt".
Much sighing as I fish out a backup drive and start combing through it. Eventually I stumble across something interesting. Sure enough, in a snapshot of a dead laptop, there's a text file on the desktop, and it bears the name "good ideas.txt".That's got to be it! Right? I mean, it's in the name. So much promise.
Well, lo and behold, here's what I find in "good ideas.txt":

That's it, that's the entire file.
The search continues.
