[[!template new="1" text="""Taking notes on a computer can be challenging,""" start="00:00:00.000" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""especially if you compare computer notes""" start="00:00:04.880" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""with handwritten notes. When you're handwriting,""" start="00:00:08.280" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you don't focus as much on taking those notes.""" start="00:00:11.960" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Well, you don't focus as much on *how* you take the notes,""" start="00:00:16.160" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you more so focus on what you're taking.""" start="00:00:19.560" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You don't get that same experience""" start="00:00:24.120" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""if you're writing your notes on a computer.""" start="00:00:27.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""When writing notes on a computer,""" start="00:00:30.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you mostly focus on typing or alignment.""" start="00:00:32.120" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Those are things that are kind of solved already""" start="00:00:38.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""by certain software such as Org Mode,""" start="00:00:42.160" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which is fantastic when it comes to note-taking,""" start="00:00:45.360" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but I still believe it could be much better.""" start="00:00:48.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""That's why I've developed the package called Lectorg.""" start="00:00:51.920" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It's a collection of scripts and snippets which allow you""" start="00:00:56.640" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to improve your note-taking experience on the computer,""" start="00:01:01.800" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""of course, making you more focused on the subject""" start="00:01:04.960" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""rather than the process of taking notes.""" start="00:01:09.920" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So why use Emacs? Well, again,""" start="00:01:14.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""if compared with other software,""" start="00:01:16.560" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it has a lot more customizability""" start="00:01:18.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and it can also unify pretty much anything you need""" start="00:01:21.800" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""in student life or work life into one place.""" start="00:01:24.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""The problems that Lectorg solves are kind of,""" start="00:01:31.080" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""as I mentioned, already solved partially""" start="00:01:35.640" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""by Org Mode itself.""" start="00:01:37.880" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""What I've done is simply make a bunch of additions""" start="00:01:40.480" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to Org Mode through an external package,""" start="00:01:44.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but I've also developed other sub-modules,""" start="00:01:47.360" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""one of them being HBH, which allows me""" start="00:01:51.280" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to easily plan out my days HBH, hour by hour,""" start="00:01:54.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""therefore I can plan out my days on an hourly basis""" start="00:02:01.400" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""practically. But I've also built something called Reorg""" start="00:02:04.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which, for those of you that are familiar""" start="00:02:09.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""with the Remarkable tablet, allows you""" start="00:02:12.000" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to integrate notes from your Remarkable into Emacs--""" start="00:02:14.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""into your Org Mode notes basically.""" start="00:02:20.000" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Now I believe there's already another talk on integrating""" start="00:02:22.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""handwritten notes into Emacs,""" start="00:02:25.200" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""so I won't get too much into that.""" start="00:02:26.920" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So again, at the heart of Lectorg is Org Mode,""" start="00:02:30.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which for those of you that might not be familiar,""" start="00:02:36.080" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Org Mode is one of the best pieces of software""" start="00:02:38.480" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""when it comes to basically capturing any sort of text,""" start="00:02:43.760" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""managing that text, exporting it""" start="00:02:49.040" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""into various different formats,""" start="00:02:51.560" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which is perfect for taking notes""" start="00:02:53.960" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""because you can either export them,""" start="00:02:57.280" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""take them on the go if you don't have access""" start="00:02:59.400" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to your computer all the time,""" start="00:03:02.120" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""or you can share them with friends, which...""" start="00:03:03.880" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Well, that is somewhat self-explanatory""" start="00:03:05.840" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""in how that can help you or others.""" start="00:03:11.360" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Now the ecosystem of Lectorg,""" start="00:03:14.920" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""it's a bit chaotic as of right now. It's a package itself,""" start="00:03:16.560" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Lectorg.el, which also partially relies on""" start="00:03:21.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""a collection of Python scripts""" start="00:03:25.760" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""as I didn't have that much time""" start="00:03:27.760" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to develop the software strictly in Elisp,""" start="00:03:30.040" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but it still gets the job done,""" start="00:03:34.120" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and I believe that there is no speed hindrance.""" start="00:03:37.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Now to further improve Lectorg,""" start="00:03:43.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I'd love to ask for your help""" start="00:03:46.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""if you have encountered any sort of issue""" start="00:03:49.280" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""when it comes to note-taking or academics in general,""" start="00:03:53.080" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I would love to integrate your solution""" start="00:03:56.840" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""(or if you don't have one, we can come up with one)""" start="00:03:59.760" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""into Lectorg. Also, if anyone would be willing""" start="00:04:04.400" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to transcribe those Python scripts""" start="00:04:07.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""into a more Lisp approach, then that'd be fabulous.""" start="00:04:13.440" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So let's look at how Lectorg works in practice.""" start="00:04:18.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""We'll look at two examples,""" start="00:04:24.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""one of taking notes for math""" start="00:04:26.040" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and the other for business, I believe.""" start="00:04:28.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Now I have to mention that all of the things""" start="00:04:33.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""that I do in that example""" start="00:04:36.040" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""do not cover all the functions and features of Lectorg.""" start="00:04:38.280" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""There is decent documentation on the Lectorg GitLab page,""" start="00:04:43.920" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""so do check that out for further reference.""" start="00:04:49.160" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""For our first example, we're going to start off""" start="00:04:57.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""with taking notes for statistics. Now what I'm doing here""" start="00:04:59.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is opening Lectorg Hub, which allows me""" start="00:05:04.240" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to associate certain resources with this particular course.""" start="00:05:06.480" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Here, I've opened the book which I have associated""" start="00:05:10.880" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""with this course, and I'm going to go ahead""" start="00:05:15.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and start taking some notes""" start="00:05:19.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""on the cumulative distribution function here.""" start="00:05:22.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Now what OrgMode allows you to do""" start="00:05:26.640" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is integrate LaTeX into regular text quite easily,""" start="00:05:30.000" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""preview it, and then later export it.""" start="00:05:34.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Now here we can see the first usage of a snippet !m,""" start="00:05:38.240" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which inserts a block for entering a LaTeX equation.""" start="00:05:48.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""What I'm trying to do here""" start="00:05:59.640" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is take a screenshot of the figures in the book,""" start="00:06:00.840" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which is done with org-download (not a part of Lectorg,""" start="00:06:05.000" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but a very useful tool). Now that is it for math.""" start="00:06:10.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Let's look at something a bit different.""" start="00:06:15.800" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""We're going to take a look at business,""" start="00:06:18.040" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""more specifically, taking notes on the product lifecycle.""" start="00:06:20.200" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Here on the left, I have certain notes from class""" start="00:06:24.520" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which are not complete.""" start="00:06:27.560" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""As you can see at the top, there's a comment""" start="00:06:31.080" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""also done using Lectorg which puts this file into a TODO""" start="00:06:34.680" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""so that I can get back to it whenever I want""" start="00:06:42.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""or schedule this TODO.""" start="00:06:46.720" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""another snippet for Plantuml,""" start="00:07:09.760" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which immediately exports it to a file,""" start="00:07:12.480" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and again I'm going to be using org-download here""" start="00:07:15.320" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to insert another figure at the top.""" start="00:07:19.800" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Once again, it did not demonstrate everything.""" start="00:07:33.360" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You can find more on GitLab.""" start="00:07:35.600" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I hope some of you might consider using Lectorg""" start="00:07:37.840" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""in your academic life or perhaps even""" start="00:07:44.400" video="mainVideo-school" id="subtitle"]]
