| 2025-09-18 08:27:20 | <dontdieych> | tjakway: just one big markdown file ( folding and toc view good for fast navigation) |
| 2025-09-18 08:28:08 | <tjakway> | dontdieych: one BIG markdown file ;) I have a lot of notes... |

| 2025-09-18 08:28:34 | <tjakway> | too many snippets to trust formatting to word |
| 2025-09-18 08:29:26 | <tjakway> | and every time I open it I despair of how much time I've spent writing bash |

| 2025-09-18 08:51:32 | <jreicher> | tjakway: what typically leads you to retrieve your notes? (Not write them.) I find the organisational principle is given by the retrieval cases, not by the recording cases. |
| 2025-09-18 08:53:00 | <tjakway> | jreicher: it depends, because I have a lot of different kinds of notes: some are directly about projects, others are more knowledge but relevant to projects |
| 2025-09-18 08:53:37 | <tjakway> | for example, I was taking notes today on designing C++ iterators (which is WAY more complicated than I thought) |
| 2025-09-18 08:54:11 | <tjakway> | that goes in the "C++ Notes" file but I'm going to link it to my C++ project-specific notes where relevant |
| 2025-09-18 08:54:13 | <jreicher> | Personally I would keep notes about a project IN the project. |
| 2025-09-18 08:54:36 | <tjakway> | jreicher: I was thinking about that too, and LaTeX makes that much easier |
| 2025-09-18 08:54:42 | <tjakway> | or markdown or what have you |
| 2025-09-18 08:55:19 | <jreicher> | I find knowledge notes more difficult, because sometimes you've forgotten what you might want to look up. |
| 2025-09-18 08:55:31 | <jreicher> | So that one is more about indexing I think. |
| 2025-09-18 08:55:50 | <jreicher> | Some kind of list you can browse, and then jump to the detail. |
| 2025-09-18 08:56:08 | <tjakway> | Yes, and I'm very forgetful, so I'll admit I don't like the idea of my notes being scattered about so many different git repos |
| 2025-09-18 08:56:17 | <tjakway> | maybe I could come up with a good submodule solution |
| 2025-09-18 08:57:19 | <tjakway> | I actually used the fossil SCM as a personal ticketing system and it worked very well |
| 2025-09-18 08:57:47 | <tjakway> | so I could make tickets for myself on things to do and link notes to them |
| 2025-09-18 08:58:42 | <tjakway> | It had a very easy wiki syntax and D. Richard Hipp writes very good software |
| 2025-09-18 08:59:21 | <tjakway> | I did think it was kind of amusing that I never actually used it as an SCM, just for its issue tracker |

| 2025-09-18 09:02:33 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> please |
| 2025-09-18 09:02:40 | <jreicher> | Task lists and knowledge notes are a bit different though. I know org uses use it for both though. (I'm not an org user) |

| 2025-09-18 09:03:29 | <tjakway> | of course, I was just happy that I found something that worked well with my jury-rigged note system |
| 2025-09-18 09:03:39 | → | noctux joins (~noctux@user/noctux) |
| 2025-09-18 09:03:39 | <tjakway> | for when I wanted task lists |
| 2025-09-18 09:03:54 | <tjakway> | my firefox bookmarks are similarly a disaster |
| 2025-09-18 09:04:07 | <tjakway> | of 8+ nested depths of folders on subjects |
| 2025-09-18 09:04:40 | <tjakway> | I back it up daily because I'm aware I'm taking the system well past its reasonable breaking point |

| 2025-09-18 09:05:54 | <tjakway> | haskellbridge: I've always felt submodules were the afterthought of the git SCM system, the rest of it is pretty well put together and submodules... are not |

| 2025-09-18 09:14:12 | <jreicher> | tjakway: you know there's quite a lot online about this kind of thing? If you search for "plaintext something-or-other" it turns up a fair bit. A lot of it references GTD and tools for it. |

| 2025-09-18 09:26:46 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> tjakway I used to use a lot of org outlines, now it's almost always markdown and obsidian |
| 2025-09-18 09:28:51 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> where you keep your notes files matters a lot for organisation, accessibility, access control etc. |
| 2025-09-18 09:30:19 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> core notes that aren't in public project repos are under ~/.notes and I sync some of those to mobile with obsidian sync |

| 2025-09-18 09:35:14 | <tjakway> | jreicher: OK, I will do that |
| 2025-09-18 09:36:24 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> tjakway I used to use a lot of org outlines, now it's almost always markdown and obsidian (or when more convenient, the markdown modes in emacs in vs code) |
| 2025-09-18 09:36:28 | <tjakway> | haskellbridge: that's something I've definitely realized in the past year |
| 2025-09-18 09:37:04 | <tjakway> | word documents are already a nightmare to index and it's worse if there isn't a great system for them... |
| 2025-09-18 09:37:17 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> I'm sm, the bridge is just carrying my words from the Other Side :) |
| 2025-09-18 09:37:41 | <tjakway> | anyway, I've got to go, but thank you all so much! |
