Here is explanation: Flashbake is a set of Python scripts that check your hot files for changes every 15 minutes, and checks in any changed files to a local git repository. Flashbake records any changes made since the last check, annotating them with the current timezone on the system-clock, the weather in that timezone as fetched from Google, and the last three headlines with your by-line under them in your blog's RSS feed (I've been characterizing this as "Where am I, what's it like there, and what am I thinking about?"). It also records your computer's uptime. It is intendend illuminate the creative process in a way that often reveals the hidden stories behind the books we care about.
