 ## *Eon* is now *Memo*
 
-I chose the name *Eon* fairly hastily and ended up kind of disliking it. I wanted to change it almost immediately, but decided to hold off until I felt sure about its replacement. *Memo* is one character longer but just sounds better to me and reflects the system's to ability record every keystroke. It's kinda silly to worry this much about a name, but I just needed to change it. Now it's done. Moving on.

 ## Supporting text files and evolving the high-level structure
 
-The next step is to to add support for files to the directory tree, which we think should be easier. Much of what we learned dealing with pure directories can be applied to files, and since files are always leaf nodes we shouldn't need to deal with cycles. We *do* need to deal with hard links, however, which should add some complexity.

 Supporting files also means we need to figure out the relationship between the CRDT that maintains the state of the directory tree and the CRDTs that contain the contents of individual text files.
