2025-09-18 11:38:07 +0200 <tjakway> this was definitely better than trying to learn it all the hard way
2025-09-18 11:37:41 +0200 <tjakway> anyway, I've got to go, but thank you all so much!
2025-09-18 11:37:17 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> I'm sm, the bridge is just carrying my words from the Other Side :)
2025-09-18 11:37:04 +0200 <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 11:36:28 +0200 <tjakway> haskellbridge: that's something I've definitely realized in the past year
2025-09-18 11:36:24 +0200 <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 11:35:14 +0200 <tjakway> jreicher: OK, I will do that

2025-09-18 11:30:19 +0200 <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 11:28:51 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> where you keep your notes files matters a lot for organisation, accessibility, access control etc.

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 11:04:07 +0200 <tjakway> of 8+ nested depths of folders on subjects
2025-09-18 11:03:54 +0200 <tjakway> my firefox bookmarks are similarly a disaster
2025-09-18 11:03:39 +0200 <tjakway> for when I wanted task lists

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 11:02:33 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> please
2025-09-18 11:02:31 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> submodules?

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.
