This is then done through packages + +00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:09.159 +such as org-noter and org-roam + +00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.359 +and is not going to be the focus of this talk. + +00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:14.239 +I already gave a talk about this part of my workflow, + +00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:17.959 +which I've been doing for many years now. + +00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:20.439 +You can find that + +00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:23.239 +or you can find many other people's approaches + +00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.999 +to reading literature and taking notes + +00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.039 +as it is quite a popular topic in the Emacs community. + +00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.759 +Lastly, I will have a short section + +00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.039 +about how I ensure that I can recall the knowledge + +00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.679 +from this literature very easily + +00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.599 +through this reference management system. + +NOTE Capture + +00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:48.199 +So, how can we capture an article in Emacs? + +00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.099 +One of the most commonly known packages is doi-utils + +00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:58.879 +where doi-utils has a lot of useful things to do + +00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:03.519 +and one of them is to capture a paper, + +00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:06.459 +but you need a DOI, and for me, that is a bit inconvenient, + +00:02:06.460 --> 00:02:08.879 +because what I want to do is that + +00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:11.999 +I have a URL here of a paper, + +00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.519 +I want to just copy this URL, not copy the DOI, + +00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:23.199 +and be able to save it immediately to my bib file. + +00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:24.311 +And that can now be done + +00:02:24.312 --> 00:02:27.719 +through this function zotra-add-entry. + +00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:28.679 +And as you can see here, + +00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.079 +there is also a zotra-download-attachment + +00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.159 +that sometimes works, but not always. + +00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:35.879 +I don't personally recommend it. + +00:02:35.880 --> 00:02:39.599 +But the problem is that due to articles being + +00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.639 +locked behind paywalls in many cases, + +00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:45.639 +downloading attachments doesn't work + +00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:47.479 +through Emacs. Sometimes it doesn't work + +00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:51.119 +through Zotero. Sometimes you just need to go to the browser, + +00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.259 +say download PDF, and that's the only solution + +00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:58.399 +that will properly work. + +00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.519 +So how do I then add this to the paper? + +00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.711 +I need to find this paper that is here + +00:03:04.712 --> 00:03:05.879 +through ivy-bibtex. + +00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:10.239 +This is the bib file manager I use. + +00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.759 +There is also others like citar. + +00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:15.559 +I think citar has much better coding and integration + +00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.159 +with other packages, but I haven't really bothered + +00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:19.639 +to move from ivy-bibtex + +00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:24.439 +because it does basically everything I want perfectly. + +00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:28.279 +So I go here, say add pdf to library. + +00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.719 +I find where I saved it, + +00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:35.399 +and it will suggest to automatically name it something + +00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.445 +which is in full integration + +00:03:37.446 --> 00:03:40.919 +with the rest of my Emacs packages, + +00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:43.839 +and all the literature management stuff + +00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.799 +knows to find it with this exact name. + +00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.045 +So it iss saved and now + +00:03:49.046 --> 00:03:53.319 +when I try to create a file from this, + +00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:55.199 +which I will show later, + +00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:00.919 +you will see that the file will already appear there. + +NOTE Organizing + +00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:06.519 +So now let's go to organizing. + +00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.119 +Organizing in Zotero is typically done through a + +00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.519 +hierarchical folder structure. + +00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.999 +This is very familiar to most people and generally works, + +00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.519 +but being someone that takes notes using the Zettelkasten method, + +00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:24.319 +which has a fully flat hierarchy, nothing goes in folders, + +00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:27.959 +everything is in the same folder, + +00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:31.959 +and you find everything because it's connected to other things. + +00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:34.839 +We have some basic indexes, + +00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:37.799 +from where you can jump to different points. + +00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.359 +I love this structure, so I also wanted to include it + +00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:42.919 +in my bibliography management, + +00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.579 +because with folders you have problems like, + +00:04:45.580 --> 00:04:48.359 +this article can go in that folder, can go in that folder, + +00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.079 +can go in that folder. Where do I actually put it? + +00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:54.439 +Do I put copies of it in different folders? + +00:04:54.440 --> 00:04:59.279 +It's just confusing and not really practical in my opinion. + +00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:03.478 +So I tried to do this approach inside Emacs. + +NOTE Ebib + +00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:08.239 +And how? With Ebib. + +00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.719 +Ebib is an amazing software built inside Emacs. + +00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.679 +It's a reference manager and it works absolutely amazing + +00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.199 +if you configure it to your liking. + +00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:21.119 +So let's open ebib first. + +00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.519 +This is the interface you will see when opening. + +00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:27.159 +Actually, by default you will not see anything, + +00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.799 +but I have open three bib files. + +00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.119 +These are opened by default on boot of ebib for me. + +00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.839 +These are my three main master bib files. + +00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:41.719 +This is the Zotero master bib file, + +00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.599 +which only Zotero can touch. If I change it, + +00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.959 +it will be overwritten. This is my new master bib, + +00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:53.759 +where I save all the files that I have now started using + +00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:55.599 +after switching to this approach. + +00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.119 +And then this is the master bib file + +00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.519 +for literature related to my PhD + +00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:07.479 +and things that I have already read. + +00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.759 +It's a very convenient interface. + +00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:14.140 +There is also search. There is one searching tool, + +00:06:14.141 --> 00:06:16.519 +the jump to entry, ebib-jump-to-entry, + +00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:23.039 +which searches through all open bib files for the title. + +00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:29.319 +So for example, I can search for membrane fabrication, + +00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:35.839 +because that's something I am currently doing, + +00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:41.919 +and go to this. There is another searching tool, + +00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.639 +the ebib-search, which searches through the database + +00:06:45.640 --> 00:06:48.359 +that you're on right now + +00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.399 +and it does a full text search, + +00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.459 +not only in the titles, but everywhere. + +00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:57.039 +So, for example, I see that in this paper + +00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:04.759 +if I go to the abstract and search for the word FTIR, + +00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:06.879 +which is a chemical analysis, + +00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:09.879 +it will tell me that it's here. + +00:07:09.880 --> 00:07:16.539 +Can it find it anywhere else? It cannot. That's okay. + +00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:18.111 +Let's search for something + +00:07:18.112 --> 00:07:21.679 +that we'll be able to find more easily, + +00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.799 +like, for example, membrane crystallization + +00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.539 +which is a main focus of my PhD. + +00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:30.319 +Then it will be able to find it many times, + +00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:35.159 +many, many times. + +00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.299 +I can also search on the next database + +00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:49.479 +or on this database and see where is everything that I want. + +00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:55.479 +So this is different searching tools which are very useful. + +NOTE Filters + +00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.700 +Then there's also another tool, that is, filters. + +00:08:01.701 --> 00:08:06.199 +So I can filter on any field. + +00:08:06.200 --> 00:08:09.739 +Like, for example, let's say on any field, + +00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:13.159 +and let's say I'm looking now again + +00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.279 +for membrane crystallization. + +00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:19.879 +This will now filter to all entries. + +00:08:19.880 --> 00:08:22.119 +You can see right now there's 18 entries here + +00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.019 +that mention these two words together in any field. + +00:08:28.020 --> 00:08:31.759 +Sometimes this is easier, because this is permanent. + +00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:33.699 +It's not like the search that we find one + +00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:35.218 +and then if you move, you've lost it, + +00:08:35.219 --> 00:08:37.885 +and you need to find it again. + +00:08:37.886 --> 00:08:39.679 +This is permanent until I say, + +00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:41.799 +okay, cancel the filter. + +00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:43.479 +I mostly work with filters, + +00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.059 +I think they're the most convenient. + +00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:49.679 +Then there's also the ebib-list-recent + +00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.479 +which is another very useful command. + +00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.359 +It asks you for a number of days + +00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.559 +and it will show you the files that were added + +00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:58.479 +in the most recent. + +00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.159 +So for example, show me the literature files + +00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:05.839 +that were added to this bib file in the last month. + +00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.799 +I will see five files in this case, + +00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:12.699 +because in this bib file, I have mostly entries + +00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:15.239 +that I have read, these are the files + +00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.959 +I have most recently read and added here. + +00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.599 +While if I go for example here and say that, + +00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.799 +these are files that maybe I haven't read yet, + +00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:31.099 +but I was planning to read. So this is something useful. + +00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.999 +Although for things I'm planning to read, + +00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.439 +I mostly use the reading list + +00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.178 +that I'm going to show next. + +NOTE Dependent databases + +00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:37.399 +But before that, + +00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:41.759 +a few more neat things that you can do in Ebib. + +00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:45.019 +So I have a list of dependent databases. + +00:09:45.020 --> 00:09:48.819 +For ease, I have already opened them here. + +00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:52.599 +These, as you can see, have two brackets here, + +00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:59.439 +indicating that they're dependent on phd_literature_1.bib, + +00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:06.378 +and these, in my case, act as the sort of index file, + +00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:10.911 +where I am tagging things based on the structure + +00:10:10.912 --> 00:10:14.651 +that I wanted to have for the organization. + +00:10:14.652 --> 00:10:16.478 +So all the organization is flat, + +00:10:16.479 --> 00:10:20.145 +all the literature is in phd_literature_1, + +00:10:20.146 --> 00:10:23.419 +however, I have this file + +00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:25.839 +that has 14 entries. + +00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:32.899 +I have another file here that has 20 entries. + +00:10:32.900 --> 00:10:35.719 +And these are smaller indexes + +00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.519 +where I can find things easier, + +00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:41.159 +but things are not limited to one of these. + +00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:45.599 +Things can be in all of these, or probably not all of these, + +00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.479 +but can be in three or four of these very easily. + +00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.219 +And how you add things is that I go here, + +00:10:55.220 --> 00:11:00.079 +and I say not r, it's... M for the dependent databases, + +00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.079 +and I add entry, and it will tell me + +00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.159 +"Where do you want to add this?" + +00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:05.159 +So when I read a new paper, + +00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:09.839 +I can say okay, this is related to these three tags, + +00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.239 +and this is sort of like, again, + +00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.185 +it's tagging it and it's putting it + +00:11:13.186 --> 00:11:15.059 +there, there, and there. + +00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:17.599 +And then this creates a flat structure + +00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.619 +that however has a great organization, + +00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:23.799 +similar to how Zettelkasten works + +00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:27.879 +and I really like working with something like this, + +00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:33.719 +with dependent databases. + +00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.539 +Another feature that I really like, + +00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:41.919 +another feature that exists by default... But if I tag, + +00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:45.279 +this tagging is done through "m", + +00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:49.019 +and then I can tag different files here, + +00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:52.159 +and this is to do different actions with these together, + +00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:53.585 +such as, for example, + +00:11:53.586 --> 00:11:55.585 +copy them to a different file, + +00:11:55.586 --> 00:11:59.459 +with "x" I can export the entries somewhere else, + +00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:00.685 +there are many things that you can do + +00:12:00.686 --> 00:12:01.439 +when you mark them. + +00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.319 +By the way, one of them is this function, + +00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.939 +which sees everything that I have marked + +00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:14.785 +and shows me an org-roam-node-find entry + +00:12:14.786 --> 00:12:18.052 +that is filtered to just these files. + +00:12:18.053 --> 00:12:20.885 +I can select one and it will take me + +00:12:20.886 --> 00:12:24.399 +to my notes on this specific paper. + +00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:25.719 +I find this very useful, + +00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.159 +because I can be looking for something + +00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:30.018 +and I can say, okay I remember, + +00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:31.399 +or I did some filtering, + +00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:34.099 +and I know it's in one of these files + +00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:37.239 +and now I want to see my in-depth notes on each one + +00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.079 +to remember where exactly I found it. + +00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.419 +So I find this kind of filtering, + +00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:50.539 +this org-roam related filtering, to be also very effective. + +NOTE Reading lists + +00:12:50.540 --> 00:12:54.079 +So now let's finally move to reading list. + +00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:55.399 +The reading list in ebib + +00:12:55.400 --> 00:13:00.259 +reminds me a lot of the philosophy that Emacs uses. + +00:13:00.260 --> 00:13:05.119 +By default, it is extremely bare bones, not very usable, + +00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.719 +but it is so customizable, to where you can do + +00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.019 +anything that you can imagine through it + +00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:16.479 +because the limit truly is your imagination. + +00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:21.039 +It's how much you can code into this + +00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:22.519 +that actually makes sense + +00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:25.479 +and you can actually imagine it working. + +00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:31.699 +Besides that, you can do anything really. + +00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:36.799 +So we can open ebib and try to find this paper + +00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:42.699 +that I just added here. + +00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:48.679 +Then we can create a reading list entry from it. + +00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:51.999 +Here, my reading list prompts me + +00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:53.418 +for a priority for this. + +00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:57.239 +How urgent it is for me to read this. + +00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:02.219 +It adds a TO-READ, which is a todo entry, + +00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:04.479 +which helps with organizing my reading list, + +00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:08.679 +because as you may also be able to see, this has an ID, + +00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:11.579 +because this is an org-roam node, + +00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:16.839 +so the TO-READ allows me to organize it inside org-roam. + +00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.839 +It saves the citekey, the link to the paper, + +00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.979 +and also tags it with the parent file node + +00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:30.379 +because I don't like having orphan nodes in my Zettelkasten. + +00:14:30.380 --> 00:14:33.839 +I like everything to be linked to at least one thing. + +00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.799 +So everything in the reading list + +00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:39.299 +is linked to the parent file. + +00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:47.519 +And now I can find this in the org-roam-node-find menu, + +00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:53.719 +here. However, that's not very interesting. + +00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.239 +In practice, my typical org-roam-node-find + +00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.759 +does not even include these reading list files + +00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:02.439 +because I don't really care to have them there. + +NOTE Special org-roam-node-find + +00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.159 +I have a special org-roam-node-find + +00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:13.439 +that is designed to find these in particular. + +00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.459 +And here these have 22. These are the amount of files + +00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:21.679 +that are currently in my reading list. + +00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:29.899 +So for example, let's try and press here. + +00:15:29.900 --> 00:15:33.479 +And magically, this prompts me to select a capture template, + +00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.119 +because what it's doing is that I selected this, + +00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.119 +and because of the citekey, it knows + +00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.539 +that it wants to create a new node for that. + +00:15:46.540 --> 00:15:47.959 +So I select the capture template. + +00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:56.099 +It knows that it wants to create this new node for this. + +00:15:56.100 --> 00:16:01.359 +And now, if I for a second close the reading list, + +00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:07.119 +now I can already go ahead and take notes on this. + +00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.759 +This is org-noter, in particular, + +00:16:09.760 --> 00:16:11.599 +and it makes it all very easy + +00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.719 +because it's all integrated in one place. + +00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.539 +If I then close this and open a new Emacs, + +00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:27.939 +we have this, and the reading list allows me to very quickly + +00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:32.539 +go from this being reading this item to initializing it. + +00:16:32.540 --> 00:16:35.039 +Another thing that is very useful is that + +00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:38.739 +everything is sorted by priority. + +00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:41.359 +So I need to increase the font size again + +00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:48.899 +because I closed the previous Emacs. + +00:16:48.900 --> 00:16:52.319 +So here, I can select what is high priority, + +00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.399 +what is low priority. I can also change the priority + +00:16:56.400 --> 00:16:58.799 +without needing to be in this file. + +00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:05.479 +Let's leave this file. I can say, okay, I decided + +00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.639 +that this file is priority B. It needs to be A, + +00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.899 +which is more urgent. + +00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:16.079 +In my system, there's five different priority levels. + +00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:17.999 +You can get away with less + +00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.959 +but I like to have the very much low ones + +00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.999 +as this is not urgent at all + +00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.159 +but I want to keep it somewhere. A is very urgent + +00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.779 +and B is urgent but just below A. + +00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:34.619 +And then the C in the middle is just + +00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:35.999 +I will eventually read this + +00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.919 +but not something I want to focus my attention on right now. + +00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.439 +So this is mostly about reading list. + +00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.639 +I can also show, for example, + +00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.679 +I have this if I finalize something, + +00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:56.799 +if I read it. For example, I created a note for this new thing. + +00:17:56.800 --> 00:17:59.079 +Let's say I finished reading it. + +00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:02.179 +I want to remove from my reading list. + +00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:05.639 +It's also just one command and it's done. + +NOTE Annotations + +00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.739 +If we now return to the presentation, + +00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:11.699 +the last thing I want to show is annotations. + +00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:17.119 +So for annotations, it's the idea that sometimes + +00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:23.139 +you just need to find something in Ebib quickly. + +00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:26.679 +So I'm here and I'm looking for something. + +00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.999 +I said I'm here and I'm looking for something. + +00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.199 +And as you can see, there's the annote file everywhere, + +00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:40.839 +the annote entry, which is a very very small description + +00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:43.799 +of things that I want to remember for this paper. + +00:18:43.800 --> 00:18:48.039 +So I can be scrolling here or scrolling + +00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:51.811 +in one of the smaller files + +00:18:51.812 --> 00:18:56.859 +and saying this was in this subsection, + +00:18:56.860 --> 00:18:59.519 +and which paper was it, and I can scroll, + +00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:01.711 +read all these annotes. + +00:19:01.712 --> 00:19:04.919 +Each annote takes like 15 seconds to read, + +00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.359 +and really decide, okay, + +00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:09.799 +it was this paper that I wanted, good. + +00:19:09.800 --> 00:19:21.819 +Now I can open the note for it, go there, and it's very easy. + +NOTE Wrapping up + +00:19:21.820 --> 00:19:25.719 +So I think that's all. I would like to thank you for your time. + +00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.319 +I would love to see your questions either in IRC, + +00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:32.199 +I will be, maybe I've already answered + +00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.039 +some of your questions there in the Etherpad, + +00:19:35.040 --> 00:19:37.599 +or right now, we're going to the live Q&A + +00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:42.159 +where I'd love to interact with everyone and have a discussion. + +00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.479 +However, if you don't have any questions right now, + +00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.559 +but you have a question later on, feel free to send me an email. + +00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:51.739 +My mail is also on the site. + +00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:54.599 +And if you're curious how all this "magic" worked, + +00:19:54.600 --> 00:20:00.839 +feel free to go to my Github and see the ebib section + +00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:04.039 +here that will also be linked in the doc page, + +00:20:04.040 --> 00:20:06.279 +where you can see all the configuration + +00:20:06.280 --> 00:20:10.919 +that I have done in Ebib for everything to work. + +00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.000 +Thank you again and have a wonderful EmacsConf! |
