In the shack with Robert Caro

He bought the prefab shack, he says, from a place in Riverhead for $2,300, after a contractor quoted him a comically overstuffed Hamptons price to build one. “Thirty years, and it’s never leaked,” he says. This particular shed was a floor sample, bought because he wanted it delivered right away. The business’s owner demurred. “So I said the following thing, which is always the magic words with people who work: ‘I can’t lose the days.’ She gets up, sort of pads back around the corner, and I hear her calling someone … and she comes back and she says, ‘You can have it tomorrow.’”

Caro first composes in longhand, then types up everything triple-spaced, with a carbon copy, in the old newspaper manner. He insists on cotton rather than synthetic typewriter ribbons, because the letters come out inkier and darker, but they’re no longer in regular production. “Ina found somebody out in either Pittsburgh or Cleveland who said that he’d make the cotton ribbons for me if I ordered, I think, a dozen gross, which — I have enough typewriter ribbons to support the entire …” He laughs, breaking off the thought.

That Caro’s work is still done on paper, with no digital backup to speak of, marks him as one of the last of his kind. (He had never seen a Google doc until I offered to show him one. He was mildly startled to discover that, in a shared document, the person on the other end can be seen typing in real time: “That’s amazing. What’s it called? A doc?”) 

In Working, Caro writes:

I can’t start writing a book until I’ve thought it through and can see it whole in my mind. So before I start writing, I boil the book down to three paragraphs, or two, or one—that’s when it comes into view. That process might take weeks. And then I turn those paragraphs into an outline of the whole book. That’s what you see up here on my wall now—twenty-seven typewritten pages. That’s the fifth volume. Then, with the whole book in mind, I go chapter by chapter. I sit down at the typewriter and type an outline of that chapter, let’s say if it’s a long chapter, seven pages—it’s really the chapter in brief, without any of the supporting evidence. Then, each chapter gets a notebook, which I fill with all the materials I want to use—quotations and facts pulled from all of the research I’ve done.

Got my hands on a dusty ol logbook from 1870 today. I love how the captain goes from “pumps attended to”:

To “pumps carefully attended to”:

To “pumps strictly attended to”:

And back to “pumps attended to”:

He makes note of the pumps every day— I think he got a lil bored halfway through the journey

Utilising digital logbooks in medical facilities

Hospitals nowadays are high-tech establishments that require meticulous attention to detail, not simply physical buildings. It's difficult to keep track of everything that occurs at a hospital. A digital logbook is useful in this situation. A e logbook is an electronic system that enables medical professionals to keep track of different events and activities that take place within the hospital. It's a tool that hospital managers may use to successfully and efficiently run their institutions.

Various Applications of Digital Logbooks in Healthcare Facilities

In the healthcare sector, digital logbooks are becoming more and more common since they offer a quick and easy solution to handle security, safety, and facility maintenance in hospitals. Digital logbooks are used in hospital buildings for a variety of purposes, such as managing security logs, documenting equipment maintenance, and keeping an eye on HVAC and safety systems.

Real-time patient data management is possible with the digital logbook. It enables medical workers to document patient data, including prescriptions, diagnoses, and treatments. Physicians and nurses can quickly and readily access this information, enabling them to give patients the best care possible.

Equipment Management: To guarantee optimal performance, hospital equipment, which is frequently costly, needs to be properly maintained. Employees can maintain better track of equipment replacements, repairs, and maintenance plans with the use of the digital logbook. By using this information, you can make sure that patients get the finest care possible and that all of the equipment is in good operating order.

Reporting Incidents: Falls and medication mistakes can happen in hospitals. Employees can report these instances and monitor their progress with the aid of a digital logbook. Hospital administrators can use this to pinpoint problem areas and implement solutions.

Organise procedures more efficiently. Hospital employees can save time and make fewer mistakes by using digital logbooks, which offer a unified location for logging and retrieving building data. By offering a simple method to track and record maintenance, safety, and security operations, they can also assist with compliance and regulatory needs.

For hospital building management, digital logbooks have many advantages, such as increased productivity, simplified procedures, and compliance. We should anticipate more healthcare organisations implementing digital logbooks as a means of improving their building management procedures as technology develops.

“I don’t like Player 120 at all,” I say, as I suddenly trip and fall to the ground and multiple pictures of Player 120 fall out of my bag. “Wait!” I frantically cry out. "These arent mine!”
