Automate your writing history, with real-world contextual information

I use Thomas Gideon’s Flashbake scripts to log all the changes to the novels and stories I work on, automatically saving any edits every 15 minutes and noting a bunch of easy-to-automate “context” (the local timezone and weather, the music I’m listening to, my most recent Boing Boing posts).

I have been doing something similar for years, but the addition of context is great. Next step: visualizations of all that metadata. Evan, I think this is right up your alley.
