When I was an undergrad, I learned many things, most of

Roam, Org Noter, Org Ref. PDF Tools, and Anki. I would like to share

+IRC nick: gcoladon
+
+Pad:
+
+- Q1: Can org-roam also be used with EPUB files? It would be nice to
+ make notes for books as well.
+ - A: Interesting question -- I've never considered doing it that
+ way. When there is a textbook I want to take notes on, I find
+ the PDF for the textbook and split it into one PDF file per
+ section or chapter, and then use those PDFs just like any other
+ PDFs. What do you like about EPUB files?
+- Q2: How does pdf-tools not being maintained as it used to affect
+ you. Since emacs have replaced image magic library and pdf-tools is
+ dependent on it how are you going to transition your work flow?
+ - A: Hmm I have not considered this at all. Is there some time in
+ the near future at which pdf-tools will stop working on the
+ current version of Emacs? I was not aware of that if that's the
+ case. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
+- Q3: Your workflow is very impressive.  Would it be possible that you
+ share your emacs configuration files? (via email)
+ - A: Yes, I will work on collecting up the bits of elisp that make
+ up that configuration and share it , probably via Github gist. 
+BBB:
+
+- I'm trying to develop one, but haven't spent enough time on it. (My interests are mostly related to programming language standards and history, and the PDFs are generally enormous and inscrutable.)
+- have you ever considered org-ref for references? I think you used org-capture on the talk. Sorry If I am mistaken.
+ - gcoladon: I honestly don't know how one should use org-ref for references -- my references go into a bib file. And I use the org-ref convenience functions, but don't really know if I'm doing it right
+ - It sounds like others do love it
+- I don't use org-roam; I'm using zetteldeft. Haven't made the leap to roam, as it seemed more of a real leap of faith that it would work and not change too much.
+- Yes IIRC the heading property points to the PDF
+- Thank you for you talk. So far, I've only used org-roam as a simple knowledge-base. I would love to replicate what you showcased. Organized notes associated with pdf docs that you then generate Anki cards with. Awesome stuff.
+- If you have further links or tips on how you arrived at your current setup. A link to your emacs config??
+- Semi-related: M-l can downcase the next word quickly.

+- gcoladon: Yes it was software called ThoughtManager which ran on my Palm Treo 680
+- a similar workflow for videos using timestamps would be quite interesting
+- this is a sweet script, surely it should be possible to write in elisp though...
+- i know there exists the anki-editor package that works pretty well
+ - gcoladon: Yeah I am going to explore anki-editor sometime. It would be much better than my sed script :)
+- how to get started? this is a great workflow
+ - gcoladon: not sure how to help people get started with this workflow, but I am happy to work on such a thing
+- This is a workflow I really do like. Well done!
+- interesting on the custom id approach, I stick a timestamp on nearly every heading that I create, but I never thought to make it a custom id
+- gcoladon: I haven't tried to make my config sharable yet
