evening everyone + +00:00:02.639 --> 00:00:03.040 +uh + +00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.440 +today my talk is going to be on org mode + +00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.759 +and or group for skulls and researchers + +00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.559 +leo has talked about like the overall + +00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:12.639 +picture of orgrim and or + +00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:15.120 +uh bibtex or groundbreak tech I will be + +00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:16.240 +talking more about + +00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:19.199 +the research process itself using these + +00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.320 +tools + +00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.400 +all right so just to introduce that the + +00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:25.039 +research process is really messy + +00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.080 +um you're always working in like + +00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:31.039 +piecemeal tasks and things move around + +00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.960 +all the time and so + +00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.280 +there needs to be a system where you can + +00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.880 +organize all these tasks + +00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.360 +all these ideas in a way that is + +00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:41.760 +flexible and effective + +00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:44.239 +so my motivation is that research is + +00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:44.960 +hard and + +00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.120 +writing about it is even more difficult + +00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:49.600 +and my goal is to add some structure to + +00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.120 +this whole madness + +00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:52.800 +so here's a list of some of the stuff + +00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.480 +that I've been using since I first + +00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.199 +learned about Emacs in 2019 + +00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:00.160 +and what I've what I've found useful um + +00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.000 +during my res uh like um + +00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.199 +within my research process all right so + +00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:07.920 +I've organized org mode for researchers + +00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.400 +and scholars within the writing process + +00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.400 +into three modules first there's like + +00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.320 +the planning aspect of it + +00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:15.759 +then you've got the writing and the + +00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:17.680 +reference management which I will join + +00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:18.320 +together + +00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:20.560 +by looking at the example of doing your + +00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:21.920 +literature review + +00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.720 +all right so when we're talking about + +00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:26.479 +planning we're talking about either task + +00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:27.360 +management or + +00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:30.880 +time management with task management + +00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:31.600 +you've got + +00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:33.840 +org modes to do's and tags and + +00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.159 +categories these are really powerful + +00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.479 +tools that you could use + +00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:41.600 +um in your org files to just um + +00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:44.799 +uh like organize your tasks and + +00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.040 +your appointments so there are different + +00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.040 +types of to-do's that you can either set + +00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.960 +globally in your init file or they can + +00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:52.799 +be file buffer specific + +00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.200 +so that means based on context based on + +00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.079 +the type of + +00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.759 +manuscript you're working on whether + +00:01:57.759 --> 00:01:59.280 +it's like a literate programming + +00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.240 +report or your actual thesis slash + +00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:03.759 +dissertation + +00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:05.840 +um also these to-do's are either created + +00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.759 +as a set tree like think of them as + +00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:11.440 +headings and sections if you use latex + +00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.800 +or inline text which are like org inline + +00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.360 +tasks I + +00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.760 +like organ line tasks because like I can + +00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.120 +add + +00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.520 +to do's between two paragraphs and that + +00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.879 +way it doesn't show up + +00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.360 +in the table of contents when I export + +00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.280 +into pdf or html or + +00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.879 +anything else all right so this is an + +00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.319 +example of buffer specific to do's + +00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.360 +and and this is example of like a little + +00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.120 +programming report that I was working on + +00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.800 +where I was like dealing with + +00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.200 +data and like analysis and all of that + +00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:44.080 +stuff and so + +00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.519 +I needed um context specific to do's to + +00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:49.440 +use them within this buffer + +00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:52.080 +um and that's how I would organize it + +00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.319 +and there's also also another example + +00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.200 +of an org inline task where you could + +00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:57.920 +see it + +00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:01.360 +in the middle between the two headings + +00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.040 +that way it wouldn't show up in the + +00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:04.959 +table of contents and it would look like + +00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:06.480 +nature within the + +00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:09.519 +text when you export it + +00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:11.920 +oh but I also added a tag of no export + +00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:13.280 +so it won't show up at all + +00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.400 +when I export it into like either pdf + +00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.360 +which I use all the time all right so + +00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.599 +another useful tool + +00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.159 +um for the research and just like + +00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:25.200 +general planning + +00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:27.920 +is the org capture um when I first + +00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:29.120 +started with Emacs + +00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.080 +actually it was for org agenda and I + +00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.239 +went crazy with my capture template I + +00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:35.360 +created a template for + +00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.599 +everything um because I was just so + +00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.640 +excited + +00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:40.720 +but with time I was using less and less + +00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:42.400 +of them so I kept taking them out + +00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.319 +and now this is my simplified um + +00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.239 +capture templates that I use either for + +00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:49.599 +a general to do + +00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.159 +um for a regular appointment a fleeting + +00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.159 +note research tasks because like those + +00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:55.200 +are what I focus on + +00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:56.959 +like my bread and butter and then + +00:03:56.959 --> 00:03:58.720 +finally with meetings which I find + +00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:00.879 +sometimes I don't use it as much because + +00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:01.680 +I would just like + +00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.519 +have the org file ready instead of + +00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:04.879 +needing to capture + +00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.920 +you know open a capture template + +00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:11.439 +right or agenda um that's how I got into + +00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.400 +Emacs + +00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.439 +I needed to um organize my life and I + +00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:16.799 +found Emacs and + +00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:19.199 +it's been great ever since um it + +00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.479 +populates all your to-do's and + +00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:22.720 +appointments into a singular view so the + +00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.280 +default view I think it's a weak view + +00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:29.120 +however I use org super agenda love this + +00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.919 +um package and I set up my agenda as a + +00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:34.160 +daily view with just appointments + +00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.360 +deadlines and a habit tracker um and + +00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.720 +a side note you guys I'm still + +00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.639 +struggling with organizing the perfect + +00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.320 +agenda so it's a process + +00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:45.360 +and take it easy all right + +00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.919 +so this is just an overview of my daily + +00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:50.320 +agenda as you can see they're just like + +00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.800 +appointments that I import from gmail + +00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.520 +using org gcal + +00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.919 +a simple habit tracker of like daily + +00:04:57.919 --> 00:04:58.880 +free writing + +00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:00.960 +as you can see there are a lot of times + +00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:02.800 +where I'm skipping and the asterisk is + +00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.199 +the one where I've completed that day + +00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.479 +so you know it's a process and then just + +00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:10.080 +like regular deadlines + +00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:12.639 +so what happens is that I have other + +00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.000 +to-do's that I have + +00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.120 +not scheduled or not added a deadline + +00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:17.919 +but they're just + +00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:20.560 +tasks that keep piling up when I first + +00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.320 +started with Emacs and org agenda + +00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:24.880 +I had everything in there and it got + +00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:26.880 +overwhelming and then I decided no + +00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.680 +I'm not gonna even let them show up so + +00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.800 +what I would do + +00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.120 +at the beginning of each week or the + +00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.479 +night before + +00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:36.800 +um I would sit down look at all my to + +00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.000 +to-do's that I have + +00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.720 +not assigned yet to a deadline or a + +00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.639 +schedule or just a simple + +00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.360 +timestamp um and I would organize them + +00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.320 +throughout the week + +00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:49.520 +so here's an example of what I did + +00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:51.680 +so on that wednesday from my gmail I had + +00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.039 +all these appointments but + +00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:55.600 +one of them is I have a writing group + +00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.560 +session + +00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.400 +and so I looked at my tasks and I + +00:05:58.400 --> 00:05:59.759 +thought okay then I will just + +00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.639 +assign um like for example my emac + +00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:03.520 +slides + +00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.319 +or the framework diagram into that + +00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:07.280 +writing session + +00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:09.600 +and all I did was just add an active + +00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.800 +timestamp + +00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.960 +that is all I needed to do and it went + +00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:14.000 +straight into my + +00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.120 +appointment now if I miss that + +00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.080 +it won't show up on the next day so if + +00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:21.520 +you put in a deadline + +00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.639 +it will show up as an overdue but if you + +00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.560 +have no deadline or schedule it will not + +00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.280 +show up in your daily org agenda + +00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:32.960 +so just a star + +00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:35.680 +all right another way of accessing your + +00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.520 +to do's is that if it's + +00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:40.880 +um file specific org file specific + +00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:42.160 +buffer specific + +00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.160 +and so like when we talked about like + +00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.400 +whether to have a big ass org file or + +00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:47.680 +like tiny files + +00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.720 +it all depends and this isn't the the + +00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.560 +um you know the way this depends + +00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:55.759 +because if you're working on like a + +00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.400 +dissertation um it's a huge manuscript + +00:06:58.400 --> 00:06:59.680 +you need to like work + +00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.880 +on that org file all the time um + +00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:05.759 +then yes it might do should be in that + +00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.680 +file specifically because every time if + +00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.000 +I'm + +00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.680 +if I'm visiting this org file all the + +00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.479 +time I should be able to just look at my + +00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:15.520 +tasks from uh within that buffer + +00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:18.639 +and so I use org sidebar to + +00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.599 +keep all these specific uh to do's + +00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:22.960 +within that org file + +00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:26.560 +I find it helpful okay + +00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.400 +now that we're going into the writing + +00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:29.759 +and reference management + +00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.039 +we'll call it a literature review um + +00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:35.840 +and this is something I've built as a + +00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:36.639 +schema + +00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.240 +I think that it works for now + +00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.759 +um and it requires one outside pack + +00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.919 +of outside software which is zotero what + +00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:47.680 +I use it's an open source reference + +00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.720 +management + +00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.759 +software um it's great + +00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.599 +but the things to keep in mind is that I + +00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:55.120 +use two um + +00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.319 +plugins that is really needed for when + +00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.039 +we work with orgrim bibtex and orgrim + +00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:03.840 +and org mode um and the zap file so + +00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:06.160 +better bibtex organizes your reference + +00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.039 +keys + +00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:10.560 +um in um in a way like in a fashion that + +00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.360 +works for you so for me all my reference + +00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.240 +keys are like + +00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.280 +last author and gear um and with zap + +00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:21.120 +file I um I let it like rename all the + +00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.319 +pdf files + +00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.400 +the same way that I have for my bit of + +00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:26.000 +my bib keys which is like + +00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.360 +last name of author and year all right + +00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.440 +once you export your entire + +00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.120 +library as a bib file then you can work + +00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.440 +on it within org mode and Emacs + +00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.880 +using um the following packages + +00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:45.040 +all right so with orgrim bibtex it + +00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:47.839 +creates an org file for each bib entry + +00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:49.519 +and you have the option of like + +00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.240 +templating and doing other stuff with it + +00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.880 +and then finally there's like this orb + +00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:56.240 +pdf scraper + +00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.800 +I've used it briefly but I think the + +00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:00.240 +potential + +00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.880 +with or pdf scraper is if you're gonna + +00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:05.920 +do a bibliometric study or like a + +00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:08.320 +systematic literature view there's + +00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.000 +something there but I have to look + +00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.959 +through it + +00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:14.399 +anyway so once you create your you know + +00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.880 +your reference file of reference x and + +00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:18.160 +you're writing your notes + +00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:20.240 +you can either go like with going + +00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.399 +through org mode you're writing + +00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.080 +your ideas you're writing your notes + +00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.080 +you're assigning tasks + +00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.839 +and then there's org transclusion which + +00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:30.480 +I will mention briefly at the end + +00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.240 +and ways to extract if you're going to + +00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.360 +go through the orgrom + +00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.640 +things that you're going to use within + +00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:38.720 +orgrom it's a great way to build your + +00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.000 +database you start making the + +00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.880 +connections and you can visualize your + +00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:44.959 +notes and like how these references are + +00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:46.240 +linked to each other + +00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.839 +through the organ server or or ground + +00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:50.240 +graph + +00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.120 +all right this is just notes for later + +00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:53.680 +okay + +00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:56.240 +so this is an example of like an orgram + +00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.360 +file that I have + +00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.279 +for example if I'm working on adaptation + +00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.760 +policy I have these hyperlinks that are + +00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:02.560 +linked to other + +00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:04.959 +concepts and ideas such as either + +00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:06.640 +climate security + +00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:08.720 +um changing global environment so on and + +00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.560 +so forth and the backlinks + +00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:13.920 +are other references that talk about + +00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:15.839 +this specific concept + +00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:17.680 +so this is really helpful and then when + +00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:19.920 +you visualize it the picture on the left + +00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:22.160 +which I'm sure looks really small + +00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:24.160 +um you can see the connections that it's + +00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:25.680 +making with other + +00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:28.160 +references so of course this is just + +00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:29.760 +like a buffer + +00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:32.720 +network when you look at the entire + +00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.560 +database network it's it's + +00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:38.000 +it's growing okay + +00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.680 +so going into organ bidtech + +00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:44.079 +so it utilizes a combination of the or + +00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:46.000 +graph package helmbik tech candidate + +00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:46.880 +completion + +00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:50.079 +and it works with orgrom functionalities + +00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:51.440 +and + +00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.880 +other good stuff this is an example + +00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:57.440 +of my orgrim bibtex file all right so + +00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.720 +I've created + +00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.200 +um the template which I pretty much use + +00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.320 +what leo + +00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.920 +has uh produced like in his um + +00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:08.640 +tutorial so I think it's it's great it + +00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:10.160 +works well for me + +00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:12.880 +um and what it does is that it works + +00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:14.480 +with your bib file + +00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.519 +so if you're in your bib file you have a + +00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.519 +sub entry that's called keywords and + +00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.040 +usually that's within + +00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:23.120 +a journal article the author would + +00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.560 +specify these + +00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:27.519 +keywords um when it gets imported into + +00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.160 +zotero + +00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:30.399 +it extracts those keywords and then it + +00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.399 +gets populated as an org file + +00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.959 +with orgrim bibtex so I always start + +00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:36.959 +with the meta information first and then + +00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:38.560 +I would write my notes + +00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:42.480 +after that this is an example though + +00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.760 +for reference of a physical book so + +00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:49.120 +I don't have a pdf file for it um + +00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.519 +so what I've figured out like a new idea + +00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.920 +for it so if I'm writing notes on it + +00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:55.760 +I would create a property that says + +00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:57.279 +pages um + +00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.959 +that way it's easier for you when you go + +00:11:58.959 --> 00:12:00.639 +back to citing + +00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.720 +um certain ideas or something that you + +00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.720 +have the pages prepared there + +00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.839 +it's easier that way okay + +00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:11.279 +org noter which is something I + +00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.040 +use a lot especially with journal + +00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:14.880 +articles that have pdfs and stuff like + +00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:15.600 +that + +00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.120 +they're really helpful if you are gonna + +00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.720 +if you've just started using um Emacs + +00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:23.760 +and orgrim + +00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:26.959 +and you have all these pdfs that have + +00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:29.519 +all the annotations and highlighting and + +00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.079 +the + +00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:32.639 +all that stuff with org noter you can + +00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:33.200 +just + +00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.720 +use the org note or create skeleton + +00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.519 +uh command and it will populate all your + +00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.200 +notes that have already been + +00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.760 +um entered within the pdf file if you're + +00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:44.800 +using an outside + +00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:48.160 +software and creates them like as a neat + +00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:52.560 +org file I I highly recommend + +00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:55.920 +finally org transclusion um + +00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:57.920 +I think this is still in its beta phase + +00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:01.040 +but I've been enjoying it so far + +00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:02.720 +um I'm guessing people know what + +00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.800 +translation mean which is sort of like + +00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:06.480 +copy pasting text from + +00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.600 +one org file to another this is helpful + +00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.839 +I I think I I peeked at a question that + +00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:12.959 +was talking about like + +00:13:12.959 --> 00:13:16.320 +you know linking um to other org files + +00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.320 +I think org transclusion could really + +00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.320 +work okay it's + +00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.399 +equivalent to the include + +00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.760 +function within org mode um but I think + +00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:29.519 +so like if you have other files + +00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.560 +that you know which region that you + +00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:34.800 +need in another file you could use the + +00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:36.079 +include but with + +00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:38.160 +org transclusion it's great I mean you + +00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:39.440 +just have + +00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.720 +um you're just linking one part to the + +00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.360 +other + +00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.760 +sort of like not refiling but you know + +00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:47.760 +hyperlinking + +00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:49.680 +so this is an example of what org + +00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:51.120 +transclusion looks like + +00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.680 +um so the highlighted problem statement + +00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:54.720 +is from another + +00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.760 +org file and then what I would do is + +00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:58.240 +just like + +00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.760 +link it to there and there was like a + +00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:01.440 +transclusion command + +00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.440 +I wish I made another screenshot of it + +00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.399 +and so when you invoke org transclusion + +00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.120 +mode + +00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.079 +it turns um it prints it out like that + +00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:12.480 +so + +00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.120 +it's in view mode and then when you want + +00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.560 +to edit it will take you back to that + +00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:18.480 +buffer and you can edit the text + +00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.839 +however you want all right so thank you + +00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:22.720 +so much + +00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.000 +um I wanted to leave room for questions + +00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.120 +but special thanks to all the folks that + +00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.560 +work on orgrom or ground bibtex orgrim + +00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:33.440 +server or + +00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.320 +transclusion and of course alpha papo on + +00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.240 +or super agenda and org sidebar + +00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.440 +that's how I got into Emacs thank you + +00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.600 +all right and uh well thank you so yeah + +00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.120 +this time I'll be the one asking the + +00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.120 +question and not I'm in so + +00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.360 +I'm feeling filling big shoes right now + +00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.120 +so you'll have to bear with me folks + +00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.880 +so thank you so much noora for your + +00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:56.240 +presentation that is incredibly + +00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.279 +interesting + +00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.959 +so would you mind if I fed you questions + +00:14:58.959 --> 00:15:00.800 +from the charts yeah + +00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:04.000 +go ahead okay so the first one I I've + +00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.160 +picked on my end was did you try using + +00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:07.920 +ebib instead of zotero + +00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:10.560 +and if so is it better than zotero in + +00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:12.079 +some ways + +00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:14.880 +I no I have not used eb I've only used + +00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:15.680 +mendeley + +00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:18.560 +and then they got bought by el savior + +00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:20.320 +and so like I was like okay I'm done + +00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.040 +I'm going to zotero um there are a lot + +00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:25.120 +of plugins with zotero that you can play + +00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.240 +around with + +00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.320 +so I can't speak for ebit but definitely + +00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.480 +zotero it's been a good experience so + +00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.079 +far + +00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:34.880 +yes same I also I also do research on + +00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:35.360 +the site + +00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.079 +as I told you english major and yeah I + +00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:39.360 +also do zotero + +00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.839 +some people have been using uh a + +00:15:41.839 --> 00:15:43.759 +connector between zotero and Emacs which + +00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.160 +has + +00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:46.000 +they've had great success with them but + +00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.360 +personally I haven't touched + +00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.480 +touched it already so yeah + +00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.240 +oh go ahead sorry all right so far I + +00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.920 +don't have any problems with zotero but + +00:15:53.920 --> 00:15:54.880 +maybe if I + +00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:56.320 +run into something I might check out + +00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.320 +ebay in the future + +00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.240 +yeah definitely I think zotero is a very + +00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.680 +solid project and you know the fact that + +00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:02.560 +it's being used + +00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:04.959 +by people outside of Emacs also ensures + +00:16:04.959 --> 00:16:06.560 +that there's quite a lot of packing + +00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:07.680 +behind the software + +00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:09.759 +which is reassuring when your livelihood + +00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.759 +depends on your research + +00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.519 +right and then I think one more thing + +00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.600 +with zotero is that you can create + +00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.519 +groups so if you're in a collaborative + +00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.079 +project + +00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:20.160 +you can create a reference you know a + +00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:22.320 +library just for your group and I think + +00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.759 +that could help because like I + +00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.279 +I'm going to be in a project next + +00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.600 +semester that requires that + +00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.839 +yeah definitely I believe the ability to + +00:16:29.839 --> 00:16:31.600 +have folders inside zotero + +00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.839 +makes it incredibly useful to manage + +00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:35.360 +your different projects concurrent + +00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.440 +projects + +00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.279 +so moving on to the questions do you + +00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.279 +have any suggestion on what subjects or + +00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.440 +things should be tags or separate organ + +00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.560 +files for cross-linking + +00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:50.320 +right um so so far now like I'm having + +00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.720 +trouble with like should I be combining + +00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.360 +certain concepts together as one like + +00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:55.839 +this is + +00:16:55.839 --> 00:16:59.360 +where the the thought process you know + +00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.959 +starts coming to fruit is that when you + +00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:02.959 +start you know combining + +00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:04.880 +ideas together so you won't need a + +00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:06.480 +specific tag + +00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.199 +and another one that are like similar in + +00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:11.280 +ideas + +00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:12.720 +I'm not sure if that answers the + +00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.799 +question but like so far I've been using + +00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.919 +the orgrum + +00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:17.919 +you know the default way which is like + +00:17:17.919 --> 00:17:19.039 +many small + +00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.160 +um files and then just + +00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.400 +linking them to my like either if I have + +00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.319 +a report to write or if I have a like + +00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:26.959 +you know + +00:17:26.959 --> 00:17:32.240 +essay to write + +00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.360 +I think you're muted + +00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:37.760 +q and I just I did two stupid things the + +00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.400 +first one + +00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.640 +was filling up my water the second one + +00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.320 +was peeking without actually turning on + +00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:43.760 +my microphone + +00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:45.760 +so let's just hope that nothing is going + +00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:47.760 +to fry in the near vicinity of me right + +00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:48.320 +now + +00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:49.840 +but uh yeah I believe you've answered + +00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:51.440 +the question so don't worry about it I'm + +00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.200 +slightly wet right now which is not a + +00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.280 +very agreeable feeling but we'll have to + +00:17:55.280 --> 00:17:57.280 +carry on I suppose + +00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:59.360 +another question is there a place where + +00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:01.600 +people are collaborating on research + +00:18:01.600 --> 00:18:04.320 +about Emacs so do you want to try to + +00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:06.160 +take this one + +00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.559 +um I don't know but I'm definitely + +00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:10.559 +interested in the user experience of + +00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.480 +Emacs so + +00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.720 +if anyone wants to work on that I'm + +00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.400 +happy + +00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.320 +well you do have a a pretty good + +00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:19.760 +candidate in front of you if I + +00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:22.080 +should say so myself I'm incredibly + +00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:22.960 +interested about + +00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.039 +um the ability to do research in Emacs + +00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.960 +and about the ability to + +00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.480 +um preach the floss way + +00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.480 +to academia and to the academe + +00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.080 +especially because I believe there's + +00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:35.280 +really something + +00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:38.240 +great to be done sorry I'm just looking + +00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.919 +at the puddle of water on the side which + +00:18:39.919 --> 00:18:41.840 +is slightly oozing my way + +00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:45.039 +which is not a very good feeling really + +00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:46.880 +but yeah I believe I believe some work + +00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.320 +could be done and if people are + +00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:50.000 +interested in the chat right now + +00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.320 +I mean do get in touch with us both + +00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:53.440 +neuron and I + +00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.480 +are on our slack channel yes I know + +00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.280 +slack + +00:18:57.280 --> 00:19:00.080 +the corporate hive mind that it's like + +00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:01.919 +but we've decided with orgrim to use + +00:19:01.919 --> 00:19:02.720 +slack + +00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.520 +but you can find us very easily and uh + +00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:06.880 +if you want to talk about these topics + +00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.360 +yes + +00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:08.720 +by all means do and we'll be very + +00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.720 +interested to answer your questions + +00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.640 +so I have a question here says like how + +00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.520 +does the view for time blocking works + +00:19:15.520 --> 00:19:18.640 +um I use org super agenda so + +00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.000 +um what happens is that my active + +00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.200 +timestamps are + +00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.960 +only in my gmail or file + +00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.200 +so if you use org gcal you have to + +00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.080 +specify + +00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:32.559 +a certain org file and when it you know + +00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.320 +imports them it imports them as like + +00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:35.679 +active + +00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:38.400 +timestamps and I make sure whenever I + +00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.480 +create a to-do or even a research task + +00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.480 +that it doesn't have a time stamp on it + +00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.039 +because what I want to do is go back + +00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.480 +and then move around um these tags + +00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.160 +according to my you know either weekly + +00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.919 +schedule or monthly or however long you + +00:19:51.919 --> 00:19:52.960 +want to do it + +00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.480 +um so yeah only active timestamps or + +00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.679 +deadlines um appear in your time grid + +00:19:59.679 --> 00:20:03.280 +so that could work um that's very good + +00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:05.440 +just just to uh interject for a second + +00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.320 +about this + +00:20:06.320 --> 00:20:07.840 +you know with orgrim right now we're + +00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:10.720 +mostly uh focused on optimization + +00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.039 +but we're hoping to move on to ux very + +00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.720 +soon so all those matters about + +00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.720 +you know having to do's in your files it + +00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.159 +is something that we've been thinking + +00:20:18.159 --> 00:20:20.000 +about with jethro kwan who is my main + +00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.880 +commentator + +00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.280 +or grow and we'll be working on this in + +00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:24.480 +the coming months so don't worry too + +00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.080 +much about it and stay tuned + +00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:29.760 +yeah um so I've got the ebib + +00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:33.200 +and what else um what subjects I think + +00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.080 +okay + +00:20:34.080 -->
