All - although I've been climbing so long my ad hoc bookmarks often turn out to be climbing related! Those swing tickets of new items of kit work quite well. I think in the book I'm reading now it's a Crux one off a sleeping bag.
On history and memory and reliability, I wouldn't have had a clue what I was doing on 11/9/2000 if I hadn't found that ticket - I know I went to Chamonix that year with my partner, and I knew we were there relatively late in the season but I didn't remember we were well into September when we went up and camped on the Midi plateau. We arrived home in the midst of the fuel crisis so that must have been kicking off around then.
I know exactly where I was from mid afternoon onwards on that date 2001, although I don't remember what I had done during the day - another normal day in the office I guess.
