+# Build a Zettelkasten with the Hyperbole Rolodex

+"Zettelkasten"  is a  methodology  for  marshalling your  knowledge,
+ideas, creativity, into  a database of hyperlinked  notes, each note
+representing a  single quantity of  knowledge. The method  was first
+devised by  a well-published social scientist  named Niklas Luhmann.
+Though he constructed  his database with actual slips of  paper in a
+box with a notebook for indexing, naturally, modern software removes
+the manual labor  from the process. In the world  of Emacs packages,
+Org  Mode is  the most  well-known package  that provides  the tools
+necessary for building a Zettelkasten, but  it is not the only Emacs
+package  to provide  such tools.  But  there is  an alternative:  an
+oft-overlooked Emacs package called Hyperbole, and in particular the
+"Rolodex" feature,  called "HyRolo." It was  originally designed for
+tracking your  personal relations,  but it  can be  used to  build a
+Zettelkasten with  almost no  additional configuration  or 3rd-party
+packages. HyRolo is a purely  textual database, and does not require
+an external database software to index the notes. It also provides a
+very  rich set  of "actions"  so that  notes not  only link  to each
+other, but can also trigger Emacs to execute code as well.
+
+Outline:   (about 1 minute per outline item)
+
+1.  Quick overview of the Zettelkasten methodology
+    -   1.1. What is a single quantity of knowledge
+    -   1.2. Linking between pieces of knowledge
+    -   1.3. Composing pieces of knoweldge into hierarchies
+2.  Tools provided by the Hyperbole Rolodex (HyRolo)
+    
+    2.1. The plain text database format
+    
+      2.1.1. Possible brief digression to explain Hyperbole menu
+    system
+    
+    2.2. Demo how to add a new entry
+    
+    2.3. Demo how to searching entries
+    
+    2.4. Demo how to hyperlink entries
+    
+    2.5. Overview of the many various types of hyperlink actions
+    
+    2.6. How to compose a hierarchy of notes.
+3.  Practical examples
+    -   3.1. Managing daily tasks
+        -   3.1.1. Integration with Org Agenda to manage TODO lists
+        -   3.1.2. Keeping track of people, conversations, mail
+        -   3.1.3. Keeping track of work, projects
+    -   3.2. Doing research, writing blogs or papers
+        -   3.2.1. Note hierarchies become your table of contents
+        -   3.2.2. Following chains of ideas to fill in each section, trimming excess prose
+        -   3.2.3. Keeping track of sources, references
+    -   3.3. Writing fiction
+        -   3.3.1. Heirarchy is less rigid, should follow the story telling model: intro -> conflict -> climax -> resolution
+        -   3.3.2. Rolodex of fictional characters, chain ideas such that they construct a personal history for each character
+        -   3.3.3. Chains of events are not as important as establishing tone and mood. Order of exposition need not be linear
+4.  Conclusions
