This is kind of crazy but I'm looking for this fascinating blog I found ages ago via HN. It was someone who was posting their father's diary online, as a blog -- he was an engineer and kept a diary, which was full of fascinating minutiae. Does that ring any bells for anyone? No worries if not, I'm finding this blog hook or by crook.

Was it the one where his father was a retired doctor or something like that and he, the son, just blogged the things his dad would say through out the day? Actually as I type this, I think it was a twitter account. Either way, it was hilarious. I'd love to find that again.
Not exactly -- his dad had died, and he was posting pages of his diary on a seperate blog to his, I think. His dad ( I think it was a father-son relationship) was a retired engineer, maybe something academic too. Thanks for the lead.
Haven't seen that one, I'm looking for an old school watchmaking site with a link page to dozens of amazing suppliers of tiny fasteners. Found it through HackADay once...
