Partly. "High-Res" and "Artists Ship" were both things I started during the summer and didn't have time to work on again till after interviews. This last one I wrote a month ago and then had to sit on because it was supposed to appear in a print report.
I actually forgot about "Artists Ship." Then a few days ago I was talking to Paul Buchheit and he mentioned how great it was to be able to release code instantly at Friendfeed, compared to the delays he had at GMail. As we talked about the question I had this weird sense of deja vu, so I went home and looked around my hard drive, and sure enough there was this nearly finished essay. The write date was Aug 11, so I must have started it just before Demo Day and then forgotten it during the ensuing bustle.
