[work, brains]

Apparently, much as I enjoy collecting information and getting a sense of things, and writing the information down in a way that I can process/remember/understand it, I really _DON'T_ like the part which involves making it look pretty. I should never be a doc writer. ;)

(then again, I tend to be about content and readability, and less interested in how pretty it looks. So this really ought to not surprise me. :)

In theory, readability and prettyness are the same thing. I wish I could move to Theory. Everything works there. :-)

Heh.

It can be pefectly easy to read and parse, but not pretty.

See text vs HTML, for example.

In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they differ. :-/

Now, if you and I team up, we can document the world!

(I dislike the process of writing things down, and rarely remember to take notes, but I love making documents look pretty.)

...did I just say I was precisely the opposite of you in something??  My word!

*laughing* Oddly, I have a couple of other co-workers who like making things pretty, too.

So it's good. ;)

(and we're allowed to be opposite sometimes!)

"Complementary" is the word I'd use.

Hee! That, too. ;)

I don't think there's a clear line between content and form...
