There are recipe managers for recipes, personal CRM tools for people +related notes, bookmark managers for managing web links, etc. While these apps +do good with the kind of data they work on, they don't operate well together in +the sense that they don't treat *links* between entities as first class citizen. I +believe this gap is where a lot of *personal information* live. As an example, +consider the chain of links that tells 'person a' gave me 'this recipe' on 'my +anniversary'. + +After using zettlekasten via Org-roam for some time, I came to realize the power +of links that we (can) form between data of different kinds. For me, these links +offset the loss that comes with leaving specialized apps. With this, I have +again gone back to Org files, but this time deriving good value from links +between notes. Of course there are tons of other benefits of using Org files +like better longevity, portability, versioning, and developer accessibility. + +In this talk, I will cover my workflow of creating and managing different kinds +of notes in Org mode based Semantic Wiki and the link types they tend to have. I +will also show my workflow outside of Emacs, where I use small tools that sit on +top of Org files to deliver missing features of niche apps (like availability on +mobile devices, smart cross data-type queries, etc.). + +About the speaker: + +I am a Programmer and Machine Learning Engineer, and I love working with +computers primary because of the early experiences of infinite extensibility +that Emacs gave me. For this talk I will cover my journey of using Org files +for notes, then leaving for specialized applications, and finally coming back to +Org to unlock the benefits of linked data. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/links-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/links-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
