| 2025-09-18 11:14:12 +0200 | <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 11:05:54 +0200 | <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 11:04:40 +0200 | <tjakway> | I back it up daily because I'm aware I'm taking the system well past its reasonable breaking point |

| 2025-09-18 11:03:29 +0200 | <tjakway> | of course, I was just happy that I found something that worked well with my jury-rigged note system |

| 2025-09-18 11:02:40 +0200 | <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 10:59:21 +0200 | <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 10:58:42 +0200 | <tjakway> | It had a very easy wiki syntax and D. Richard Hipp writes very good software |
| 2025-09-18 10:57:47 +0200 | <tjakway> | so I could make tickets for myself on things to do and link notes to them |
| 2025-09-18 10:57:19 +0200 | <tjakway> | I actually used the fossil SCM as a personal ticketing system and it worked very well |
| 2025-09-18 10:56:17 +0200 | <tjakway> | maybe I could come up with a good submodule solution |
| 2025-09-18 10:56:08 +0200 | <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 10:55:50 +0200 | <jreicher> | Some kind of list you can browse, and then jump to the detail. |
| 2025-09-18 10:55:31 +0200 | <jreicher> | So that one is more about indexing I think. |
| 2025-09-18 10:55:19 +0200 | <jreicher> | I find knowledge notes more difficult, because sometimes you've forgotten what you might want to look up. |
| 2025-09-18 10:54:42 +0200 | <tjakway> | or markdown or what have you |
| 2025-09-18 10:54:36 +0200 | <tjakway> | jreicher: I was thinking about that too, and LaTeX makes that much easier |
| 2025-09-18 10:54:13 +0200 | <jreicher> | Personally I would keep notes about a project IN the project. |
| 2025-09-18 10:54:11 +0200 | <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 10:53:37 +0200 | <tjakway> | for example, I was taking notes today on designing C++ iterators (which is WAY more complicated than I thought) |
| 2025-09-18 10:53:00 +0200 | <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 10:51:32 +0200 | <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 10:38:09 +0200 | <dontdieych> | tjakway: I'm mostly do not organize things. just save it in ~/Downloads (or wherever) or somewhere. `ls -rt1`, `fd ... | fzf` or `ctrl-f` in gui file manager is good enough for me. :D |
