Switching back to chronological notes

Posted on November 23rd, 2004 by Sacha Chua

I guess most of my readers (Hi Mom!) check this site once a day, or
something like that. They read from top to bottom.

So why am I using reverse-chronological order?

Good thing it’s easy to (setq planner-reverse-chronological-notes nil).

(setq planner-reverse-chronological-notes t) is recommended for sites
that have lots of updates and people checking back every five minutes.
My site isn’t like that, so we might as well make the site structure
follow the structure in our minds.

Okay. Everyone, time flows forward again.
