Moving from the commonplace and into the cloud
Dick Pountain is editorial fellow of PC Pro. He can recite the “fair use” rules in his sleep (and sometimes does so). Email dick@dickpountain.co.uk
A “commonplace book” is, according to my dictionary, “a book into which notable extracts from other works are copied for personal use”. My late friend and long-term associate Felix Dennis used to keep one, a largish leather-bound album that went with him on all his travels, filled with clippings, photos and handwritten notes of whatever captured his attention (often poems).
