Action : Created watercooler file pattern to separate task-focused work from meta observations

Files :

Moved to Watercooler :

Kept in Daily Note :

Pattern Established : .watercooler.md files for meta/creative/consciousness archaeology, keeping daily notes focused on actionable work.

(…entries continue as day progresses…)

Weekend Context (Oct 18-20)

Late Night: Infrastructure & Blueprinting

float-bbs-viewer Architecture Extraction (11:45pm - 12:03am)

  • Extracted patterns from float-dispatch-manifesto-forge (React/Vite/ShadCN)
  • Created hermit crab reference: 2025-10-26-dispatch-blueprints-for-bbs-viewer-hermit-crab-patterns.md
  • Key patterns: color-coded imprint system, grid layouts, Tailwind HSL tokens, editorial philosophy sections
  • Translation map: React hooks → Astro content collections, SPA routing → SSG file-based
