Fun fact: sorting ASCII numerically puts all the uppercase letters first, followed by all the lowercase letters (ABC... abc...). A more typical dictionary ordering would be more like AaBbCc... (or to even consider A and a at the same sort l

I keep a stack. Whenever I am interrupted, I push a task onto the stack. When I finish a task, I pop it from the stack. Each task has an associated journal file. Sometimes I reorder the stack.
