Figured it would be, but hoped the central idea would be useful
(glad it is). In my case, with the length of time some rolls
have between shooting and developing, putting the date and notes
(often the name of the subject, or the event where I'm shooting)
on the index card winds up being kind of important. If exposed
film never sat around long enough for my memory to get fuzzy,
that wouldn't matter as much.

And one of my silly minor pleasures comes when someone looks at
what I'm doing, notices that the sequential roll-ID numbers are
pre-printed on a laser printer, gets a confused look on his or
her face, and asks me how I laser-printed a spiral notebook. I
calmly explain that I managed to find the spiral-feed adaptor
for my printer at a swap meet, so as to get an even more confused
look from them. :-) Tee hee!

Nice heavy line to be easy to photograph in the notebook, and writes
on the film can as easily as it does on paper. :-)

PS: Another thing I use the roll-ID for other than as an index in
my database, is for specifying which photo someone wants to order
a reprint of (and for finding the right negs). On the backs of my
prints, I put the roll-ID and frame number; when someone wants a
copy, that info makes it easy to find the right sheet of negs.
