I make copious notes when building software; I think of it as keeping a lab notebook like chemists do. Users on the antlr-interest list wanted to see the ravings of a lunatic so I have posted my note files here. If you have comments or want to have a note attached to the "blogs", send me mail. :)

[Also of note are our 2003 ANTLR Cabal notes and ANTLR2004 workshop notes].

My latest thoughts are at the top of the files.
