You can always use a floppy disk to write a log file.  Something like
the following comes to mind:

	# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt
	# script /mnt/error.log
	Script started, output on /mnt/error.log
	# YOUR COMMANDS HERE
	...
	# exit
	Script done, ...
	# umount /mnt

If that does not work, try helping your memory by scratching down on
paper the last few commands that failed, along with their output and/or
errors.  This should help you remember the next day :)
