Quick history

I learned the practice of writing a captain.log from @daviddias in his work on js-ipfs (see his really cool log). When I started my captain.log I found really useful to list all the different issues that are open, closed, that need a spec that had something happening & so on. This process is very slow for humans but fast for machines :)
