00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
 I'm fine. So we can start, right?

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.100
 Yeah, sure. I mean, you pretty much know the drill.

00:00:09.100 --> 00:00:11.050
 Everyone watching the show now already knows the drill. V

00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:13.090
idianus is going to read the questions. If you want to read

00:00:13.090 --> 00:00:16.000
 the questions on your own, you can open up the pad.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.080
 Otherwise, Vidianus will be reading the questions and

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:20.210
 answering them in line. And I'll be making jazz in the

00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:22.780
 background whenever something doesn't work. So Vidianus,

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:24.000
 the floor is yours.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:32.310
 Okay. So do you use flitting notes as well? Do you keep

00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:33.780
 them in the org room? And flitting notes are a very

00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:35.580
 interesting subject. In the initial draft of this talk, I

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.330
 wanted to include flitting notes as well, but it would take

00:00:37.330 --> 00:00:40.000
 a bit too long. So I said, let's not do it.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.980
 I'm going to add a link here to my .files in the section

00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:48.350
 for flitting notes. But I can very quickly share my screen

00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:52.970
 for a moment and show you something about it. So give me a

00:00:52.970 --> 00:00:54.000
 moment.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.000
 Yes, you can do this.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.000
 Okay. So you see the screen now, I think?

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.000
 Yes, I can see it.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.590
 So I have a key binding which opens my daily note. I have

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:17.490
 some notes from other talks in EmacsConf and talks that I'm

00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:21.400
 going to miss due to the two tracks. Don't mind them. So I

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:28.000
 write, for example, flitting note.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.890
 And I have a command down here which will automatically

00:01:31.890 --> 00:01:35.760
 give it a to do value. So let's say, for example, I'm

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.000
 crossing it. It adds a tag to the current projects node,

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.840
 which is essentially a node I have for things I want to do

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.000
 right now.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.590
 It makes it an org-rem node. And then I can write something

00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:59.360
 here, blah, blah, blah. And if I go on org-rem node find,

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:04.000
 actually, I need to save it first. It will appear here.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.720
 And then once I say it's done, it is not a node anymore. It

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.470
 is removed here. This allows me to archive things. I can

00:02:16.470 --> 00:02:21.320
 stop the sharing now. This allows me to archive flitting

00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:22.000
 notes.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.860
 So I don't need -- because flitting notes are not something

00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:31.740
 that needs to remain my shell custom. I want them for some

00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:34.000
 point and then deleting them.

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.140
 And this is done with org-journal and not org-rem-dailys

00:02:38.140 --> 00:02:41.960
 because with org-journal I can have this -- I make it a

00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.000
 node and then I remove it from a node.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.620
 While I don't think you can do that with org-rem-dailys,

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:52.020
 the code for all of this is in the section I pasted on the

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:57.000
 etherpad. And if you have any questions, you can email me.

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:11.240
 >> Okay. >> Sorry, just to specify, all the contact

00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:11.560
 information will be available on the talk page. So be it

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:12.020
 the email to Vidianos, also the pads, the recording,

00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:14.590
 everything will be available after the conference as soon

00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:16.000
 as we have the bandwidth for this.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.950
 So that's where you'll be able to find contact information.

00:03:18.950 --> 00:03:21.000
 Okay. You can keep going, Vidianos. Sorry for the inter

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:21.000
ruption.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.630
 >> Okay. So the second question is if it works for PDFs

00:03:25.630 --> 00:03:31.400
 only or Word and Excel or EPUB, websites, CWW and YouTube.

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.520
 So I'm not sure. Give me a moment to look at OrgNotor and

00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.400
 see if it says -- because I said I didn't remember. Use it

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.000
 with PDFs typically.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.370
 >> Yes. From the top of my mind, I think OrgNotor works

00:03:48.370 --> 00:03:53.580
 with EPUB file via the package that is managed I think by

00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:57.250
 -- was it by Wasamasa? I can't remember actually now. But

00:03:57.250 --> 00:03:59.000
 at some point it was managed by Wasamasa.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:07.550
 He was probably watching right now and probably yelling at

00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:16.000
 me in the background. So I'll keep you posted on this. But

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:16.000
 yes, the OrgNotor allows you mostly to take notes on PDF

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:16.000
 via PDFView, but it also allows you to take notes on EPUB.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:16.000
 And they're working relatively well.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.000
 But as for the other -- yeah, go on, Vidianos.

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.840
 >> I opened OrgNotor and it says it also is compatible with

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:27.000
 DocView for Office, so Word, Excel and things like that.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.430
 >> Yeah. And otherwise, if you really want to take notes on

00:04:30.430 --> 00:04:33.760
 such documents, you can probably use either OrgConvert or

00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:37.210
 Pandoc to generate a document that would be editable within

00:04:37.210 --> 00:04:40.200
 OrgNotor. It shouldn't be too difficult to do so. And

00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:43.400
 usually it's mostly PDFs when you're working on research

00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:45.000
 stuff or stuff like this.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.110
 Anyway, sorry for interrupting. This is a topic very dear

00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:49.570
 to my heart as well because as you know, I have worked a

00:04:49.570 --> 00:04:52.000
 little bit in OrgGram and OrgNotor especially.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.560
 >> Yeah. So I think you should be able to do Word, Excel

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.000
 and EPUB. I don't think it works with websites and it

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.240
 definitely doesn't work with videos. Not sure if there's

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.000
 other solutions for those.

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.950
 >> I believe there is one. Sorry, I keep inserting myself

00:05:11.950 --> 00:05:15.070
 into the discussion. This is a very interesting topic. I

00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:18.290
 think Alfred Papa developed an Org package to capture a

00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:21.570
 webpage. So it's like an OrgCapture, you know, Org protocol

00:05:21.570 --> 00:05:24.000
 that allows you to capture stuff from your browser.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.410
 It allows you to capture a page and basically Pandocs the

00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:31.050
 results into an HTML, sorry, it Pandocs from HTML to an Org

00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:34.860
 document with a structure and a hierarchy. And this way you

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:38.030
 can actually take notes on the documents and just have all

00:05:38.030 --> 00:05:41.000
 the features you would expect in an Org document.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:49.460
 >> I'll shut up now. This is your talk, not mine. If I

00:05:49.460 --> 00:05:58.280
 really wanted to talk about this, I should have made a talk

00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:00.000
. Anyway, back to you.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.160
 >> Okay. So next one. I used Take Notes on PDF with OrgNot

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.500
er, but Zotero PDF Reader is also very nice. So, okay. Yeah,

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:12.280
 I have seen the Zotero PDF Reader. It does look nice as

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:16.000
 well, I would agree, but I have two problems with it.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.310
 One, Emacs key bindings don't work, and two, it's not Emacs

00:06:21.310 --> 00:06:26.330
. Basically, I think it's nice, but I want to use things

00:06:26.330 --> 00:06:31.790
 that are outside Emacs for as little as possible. And I use

00:06:31.790 --> 00:06:36.310
 it there because I haven't found a way in Emacs to save the

00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:41.000
 article somewhere and download the PDF automatically.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.170
 I know there is DOI Utils, which was mentioned by RC a few

00:06:46.170 --> 00:06:51.610
 moments ago as well, but it hasn't worked perfectly for me

00:06:51.610 --> 00:06:56.730
 in the past when I tried it, so I use Zotero for that, but

00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:01.900
 I wouldn't use it for the PDF Reader as well because I want

00:07:01.900 --> 00:07:04.000
 to use it in Emacs.

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.590
 Next one. Thanks for saying that it was a great

00:07:07.590 --> 00:07:12.500
 presentation. My thoughts on the future of Zelle Casten. I

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:18.980
 think Zelle Casten has a bright future, personally, because

00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:24.000
 it is plain text. Plain text will never go away, basically.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.610
 You will be able to use it forever, and also, Orgrom is

00:07:28.610 --> 00:07:33.630
 open source with a very vibrant community, so that won't go

00:07:33.630 --> 00:07:39.640
 away either anytime soon, I think. So, it probably has a

00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:44.000
 future, if you mean it that way.

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.480
 And I think that, in general, it is a noting method that is

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:55.040
 very efficient. I have used it for university the past few

00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:01.300
 years, and I have right now like 850 notes on it, and they

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:05.000
 will probably only keep increasing.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.250
 So, I don't think it's going away. If you want to ask

00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:16.000
 anything else, we can talk more about it.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.970
 Actually, I do have something to add to this particular

00:08:19.970 --> 00:08:24.010
 point, because on the topic of Zelle Casten and how useful

00:08:24.010 --> 00:08:27.470
 it can be. Now, it's been a little while since Zelle Casten

00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:32.630
 really started exploding. I think in 2020, right when COVID

00:08:32.630 --> 00:08:35.200
 started, a lot of people started getting interested in Z

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.000
elle Casten methods.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.570
 And ever since, we have a lot of software that were

00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:43.940
 released, including the ones we have in Orgrom. I'm going

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:47.940
 to use Orgrom because it's the one I'm most familiar with

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:51.700
 as a commentator, but we also have D-Notes by Prot and

00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:54.000
 other solutions as well.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.310
 And one thing that I'm currently working on, and a key area

00:08:58.310 --> 00:09:02.240
 of interest for me, is how do we use the concept of Zelle

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.700
 Casten, a collection of notes. Generally, when you think of

00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:10.280
 Zelle Casten, it's a really individual collection of notes,

00:09:10.280 --> 00:09:11.000
 right?

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.550
 It's something that you have, it's the stuff that you find

00:09:14.550 --> 00:09:18.280
 during your research, during the paper that you read. But

00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:21.700
 how about trying to have a slipbox for a group of people,

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:25.060
 so that they could start sharing notes on research that

00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:26.000
 they do.

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.190
 It wouldn't be the same thing as a personal slipbox, but

00:09:29.190 --> 00:09:32.100
 you can think of it as the knowledge bank for a group of

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:35.420
 people, where they keep track of the concept that they use

00:09:35.420 --> 00:09:38.810
 within their organization, the patterns that they like to

00:09:38.810 --> 00:09:41.000
 use when they work together.

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.390
 So, we actually wanted to do a talk this year on some of

00:09:44.390 --> 00:09:47.960
 those adjacent topics, but sadly, we were a little taken by

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.600
 time, and you'll have to wait for next year. But I will

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.540
 agree with you, Vidianos, there's a lot of very interesting

00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:59.380
 stuff abound for Zelle Casten method, and especially Zelle

00:09:59.380 --> 00:10:01.000
 Casten inside Emacs.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.000
 All right, back to you now.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.850
 Thanks for the additions, I like them as well, and I think

00:10:06.850 --> 00:10:10.240
 that what you said about collaboration, it would be very

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.000
 interesting, really.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.000
 Great.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.070
 The only problem is having other people using the same

00:10:18.070 --> 00:10:19.000
 methods with you.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:24.420
 Sorry, Vidianos, I'm not sure if you asked me a question, I

00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:29.740
 was at a health, whispering my ear in the background at the

00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:31.000
 same time.

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.870
 I just said that I really like the idea that you said about

00:10:34.870 --> 00:10:36.000
 collaboration.

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.830
 Yeah, because it is really something that is missing when

00:10:38.830 --> 00:10:42.200
 you think about it. Like, the good thing about Emacs, and

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.900
 the philosophy of Emacs generally, is that we have

00:10:44.900 --> 00:10:48.390
 different modes working together, and they do one thing, or

00:10:48.390 --> 00:10:51.000
 multiple things, and they do it very well.

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.890
 We have org mode for editing structured documents, we have

00:10:54.890 --> 00:10:58.200
 maggots to manage repositories, we have calc to do

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:02.000
 calculations with a polished notation and whatnot.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.960
 It feels like we have a great tool for collaboration,

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.050
 editing a singular buffer, which is CRDT, which we've

00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:10.000
 already talked about before.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.420
 I'm not sure if we did have a presentation on Emacs about

00:11:13.420 --> 00:11:17.130
 CRDT. I think, if you're more interested in this, go back

00:11:17.130 --> 00:11:20.410
 to the talk I did last year with Joe Connelly and Noura El

00:11:20.410 --> 00:11:24.000
 Hassan on Emacs Research Group.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.000
 We did demonstrate what CRDT was.

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.890
 So, we have a very good tool for working on a buffer, and

00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:31.000
 we have a very good way to take notes.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.220
 Why not try to combine the two tools, like Emacs is so good

00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:36.660
 at doing? We take one mode, we take another mode, we clash

00:11:36.660 --> 00:11:38.580
 them together and we do something very interesting with

00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:39.000
 them.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.430
 Well, we should probably be doing something similar with

00:11:42.430 --> 00:11:46.140
 note-taking, so that people can actually start building

00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:47.000
 notes together.

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.190
 I think that would be a really key step in the future. But

00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:54.330
 anyway, I think I'm repeating myself a little bit, and I

00:11:54.330 --> 00:11:57.000
 don't want to say too much right now.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.210
 You'll see it in the future, it's coming month or coming

00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:01.000
 year, so you're not in a rush and flus.

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.000
 Okay, Vityan, it's back to you now.

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.350
 Okay, so how do you find a way to get a nice overview of

00:12:05.350 --> 00:12:07.000
 multiple notes to rearrange them?

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.790
 Like, basically putting many small notes on another table

00:12:09.790 --> 00:12:11.000
 and rearranging them.

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.930
 So, my initial idea when I tried to make Zettle Desk was to

00:12:16.930 --> 00:12:20.000
 get as close as possible to this.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.800
 Have a lot of small notes in my table and be able to

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:24.000
 rearrange them.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.000
 Due to Org Mode being text, this is not exactly possible.

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.190
 But I don't know if this question was before the third demo

00:12:33.190 --> 00:12:34.000
 or not.

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.870
 What I showed in that demo, I think, to an extent, showed

00:12:39.870 --> 00:12:42.000
 what I do for rearranging.

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:47.720
 You add all the things you want on the Zelda scratch buffer

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.000
, and then rearrange them however you want.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.000
 So, that's as close as I have been able to get to that.

00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:05.230
 It's not perfect, but I think it is alright for being text,

00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:11.000
 which making it graphically would be hard, I think.

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:17.000
 And the next one seems to be a follow-up on that question.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.260
 Yeah, it says it's difficult or impossible to do that. Yeah

00:13:20.260 --> 00:13:21.000
, I agree.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:27.000
 Okay.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:33.560
 So, this package that you say on the next one, on the next

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:39.000
 question, I will check this link out.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:44.840
 It seems very interesting for writing your notes on a big

00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.000
 canvas.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.230
 I think it would definitely make sense for my workflow to

00:13:50.230 --> 00:13:53.260
 use something like this, if it is what I have understood

00:13:53.260 --> 00:13:54.000
 you mean it is.

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:59.000
 I would love to try it. And we'll get back to you.

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.750
 Whoever left that message, if you want to leave any contact

00:14:03.750 --> 00:14:08.000
 information or talk to me, I would love to get back to you

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.000
 about this.

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.000
 Because it looks very interesting.

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.810
 Yes, so again, all the contact information will be

00:14:14.810 --> 00:14:17.000
 available on the talk page.

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.630
 By the way, if you're worried about the lighting changes in

00:14:18.630 --> 00:14:21.370
 my place, it's just that sometimes I have a lot of light in

00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:22.000
 my face.

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.000
 And then, when I'm a little tired, I do rest like this.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000
 And it's very different, but it's still me. Don't worry

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.000
 about it.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.460
 I'm not going to turn it off, because every time it's like

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:32.000
 a flashbang going into my eyes.

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:35.240
 So, if you want to talk to Vidyanos afterwards, maybe do

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.000
 not leave your coordinates right into the pad.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000
 Maybe get in touch with Vidyanos instead.

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.380
 Those ads are going to be public eventually, and even

00:14:43.380 --> 00:14:46.000
 though we will be reviewing all the content within them,

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.000
 it means that they will be open to people for a while.

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.000
 So, maybe avoid putting personal information over there.

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.440
 But otherwise, you'll be able to connect after the

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.590
 conference relatively easily, and Vidyanos will be able to

00:14:57.590 --> 00:14:58.000
 follow up.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.000
 Or even just on the questions, whenever you have the time.

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.760
 But it might take one or two weeks for the speakers to get

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:06.000
 back to the questions you put into the pad.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.000
 We will be asking them frequently.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.890
 We do have this policy, as you know, with Emacs, of nudging

00:15:11.890 --> 00:15:13.000
 speakers to do something.

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.860
 So, we will nudge speakers towards answering your questions

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:18.510
, but it might take us about one or two weeks to get all the

00:15:18.510 --> 00:15:19.000
 answers.

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.000
 I think we don't have any more questions currently.

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.000
 There is one more.

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.000
 Oh, there is one more. So, please take it.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.800
 Can we use Zettelkasten for coding too, especially when

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:32.000
 using the IDs like Visual Studio and Excel?

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.080
 So, I can't say for sure if you can use it, because I'm not

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.000
 in coding.

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:44.000
 The only language I know the best for coding is Emacs Lisp.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.770
 And the only other one I know is Matlab for doing

00:15:48.770 --> 00:15:54.000
 calculations, for example, for things in university.

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:59.000
 But I think you should be able to do that.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:03.600
 If you look for Zettelkasten for coding, you will probably

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.000
 find some resources for it.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:14.000
 I don't think it breaks the Zettelkasten principles.

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:21.000
 You can make atomic nodes for coding concepts.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
 So, it should work, I believe.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.000
 Yeah, and I can actually confirm this.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.150
 I did share with you before in one of the previous Q&A how

00:16:31.150 --> 00:16:33.390
 we're taking notes on this little device right here to do

00:16:33.390 --> 00:16:34.000
 lead code exercises.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.400
 The thing about lead code exercises is that, well, lead

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:40.000
 code, sorry, let's be more vague about it.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.990
 Lead code is a platform and not a free platform as well,

00:16:42.990 --> 00:16:44.000
 and I'm not advertising them.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.700
 But the concept of data structure and algorithm is really

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:48.000
 important to programming.

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.260
 And usually when you try to solve algorithmic problems, you

00:16:53.260 --> 00:16:58.000
 rely on a number of patterns that have been developed by...

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.260
 Sorry, I get people telling me to my right here that, oh,

00:17:01.260 --> 00:17:02.000
 the sim is going down.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.850
 And so my stomach is falling into my body, just, oh, what

00:17:06.850 --> 00:17:08.000
 happened?

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.310
 Anyway, going back to the point, we do rely on patterns and

00:17:10.310 --> 00:17:13.000
 identification of patterns within a problem.

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:17.130
 So, as a result, it would be very much possible to create

00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:20.000
 separate nodes for all these patterns.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.630
 And you can have different exercises and say you have an

00:17:22.630 --> 00:17:25.000
 exercise that is using two different things.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.000
 It's using a tree pattern and it's using a depth search.

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.640
 If neither of those two words make any sense to you, do not

00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:35.100
 worry and be grateful because this will haunt you at night

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:36.000
 otherwise.

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.730
 But it would be very, I think it would be a prime candidate

00:17:38.730 --> 00:17:42.000
 really for atomization and linking within a Zettelkasten.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.780
 Because it would make it so much easier to structure your

00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:47.730
 knowledge in a way that is organic rather than hierarchical

00:17:47.730 --> 00:17:48.000
.

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.030
 So, yeah, this was a very good question and I'd be happy to

00:17:52.030 --> 00:17:56.390
 encourage the asker to try it on their own and maybe make a

00:17:56.390 --> 00:17:58.000
 presentation next year at the next EMACS Conf.

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.210
 Vidyanos, before we continue, I just want to give up the

00:18:01.210 --> 00:18:02.000
 heads up.

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.230
 So, we have opened the room currently. If you want to join

00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:10.000
 the room with Vidyanos, we have posted the link on ISC.

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.400
 And if you go to the talk page of Vidyanos talk, you will

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.000
 be able to join the room as well.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.650
 We did have quite a number of questions. So, feel free to

00:18:16.650 --> 00:18:17.000
 join.

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.530
 In about four minutes, we'll need to move on to the next

00:18:19.530 --> 00:18:20.000
 talk.

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.000
 But, well, actually, I give you about three more minutes.

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.000
 Do we have any more questions on the pad, Vidyanos?

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.000
 On the pad, no. I'm looking on IRC.

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.000
 Someone says if Zeldas.dl will be available in Melpa.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:39.000
 It is on Melpa right now. You can find it.

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:44.390
 Right. And you just have to -- sorry, my voice is getting

00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:45.000
 raspier.

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.680
 It's only the first day of EMACS Conf. It's not even lunch

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.000
 and I'm already losing my voice.

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.000
 This is not booting well for the rest.

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.100
 But, yeah, you should be able to find it pretty easily by

00:18:54.100 --> 00:19:00.080
 looking on doc.go for Melpa and space and zeldacaster.el,

00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:01.000
 the name of the package.

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.000
 You'll be able to find it. And we can put it on the page.

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.600
 I'm pretty sure it's already on your talk page, Vidyanos,

00:19:04.600 --> 00:19:05.000
 as well.

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.000
 Yeah, it is on the talk page.

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.000
 Yeah, you'll be able to find it really quickly.

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.000
 So we have about two more minutes.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.670
 Did you see any other question that you'd like to answer as

00:19:12.670 --> 00:19:13.000
 well?

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:17.800
 I'm scrolling on IRC since the talk started to see if there

00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:19.000
 is anything else.

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.000
 I don't see anything else.

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:28.000
 If anyone has a room here, I would love to continue.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:33.000
 If not, then I think we've already answered enough things.

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:38.000
 Sure, I would concur. You have covered a lot of ground.

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.240
 I am personally happy to be seeing so many talks about Zeld

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.000
acaster.

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.430
 It feels like I was a little bit of a forerunner at EMACS

00:19:44.430 --> 00:19:46.000
 Conf talking about Zeldacaster.

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.450
 And now, we are two years later and we're still talking

00:19:48.450 --> 00:19:49.000
 about it.

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.170
 I know a lot of people are getting a little tired of

00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:53.000
 hearing about Zeldacaster all the time.

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:59.050
 But if you part all the communication, if you focus on what

00:19:59.050 --> 00:20:00.000
 it actually does,

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.000
 and I keep saying it's just notes and it's just links,

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.000
 it's actually quite amazing what you can do with it.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.000
 It's just a mental model, really.

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.690
 So I would kind of use the, you know, sorry for the voxing

00:20:11.690 --> 00:20:12.000
 here.

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.460
 But if you have been interested in Zeldacaster at some

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:17.000
 point,

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.000
 or if you are frustrated by all the talk about Zeldacaster,

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.000
 that seems to be kind of like a cult at some point,

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:27.460
 well, I would encourage you maybe to try, not necessarily

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:28.000
 try it for yourself,

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.000
 but try to understand really the simple stuff behind it.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.340
 Because honestly, there's nothing very revolutionary about

00:20:34.340 --> 00:20:36.000
 this note-taking method.

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.370
 It's just that it used to be done with paper, and now it's

00:20:39.370 --> 00:20:40.000
 done with computers,

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.000
 and it makes it a little more easier.

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.500
 Personally, what I find the most helpful in this type of

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:48.000
 note-taking is how organic everything feels.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.650
 You do not need to be thinking about the structure from the

00:20:50.650 --> 00:20:51.000
 get-go,

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.000
 and this is extremely freeing.

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.000
 OK, Vidyanos, we are about out of time.

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.240
 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.000
 questions.

00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.690
 We will be in touch in the future, and we'll be looking

00:21:01.690 --> 00:21:04.000
 forward to having more presentations about Zeldacaster,

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.000
 and perhaps maybe one by you in the future.

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.000
 So, well, thank you so much.

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.470
 And, Vidyanos, I don't see anyone in the room, so feel free

00:21:13.470 --> 00:21:15.000
 to leave the room after we're done.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.410
 So in about one minute, we're going to go with the next

00:21:18.410 --> 00:21:19.000
 talk.

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.000
 We might go a little bit quiet until the top of the minute.

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.000
 I need to drink, and I need to rest my voice.

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.000
 But in one minute, we'll be starting the next talk.

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.000

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.000
