In the time since then, I've discovered Org Mode, Org Roam, Org Noter, Org Ref. PDF Tools, and Anki. I would like to share my approach for capturing all the information that comes my way as a MS CS student at Georgia Tech, in the hopes that I can both get feedback on ways to improve the system I use, as well as hopefully inspire others to build workflows that make them more productive. # Discussion IRC nick: gcoladon - 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 # Outline - 5-10 minutes: Go through some typical workflows associated with being a grad student, using the packages mentioned in the abstract. # Personal information - Name pronunciation: the syllables of my last name should be easy enough to pronounce for English speakers; the accentuation is colado-NA-to - Preferred contact info: gmail account gcoladon [[!inline pages="internal(2021/captions/cs)" raw="yes"]] [[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/cs-nav)" raw="yes"]]
