00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480
I'm hoping to keep this talk in the 15

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:03.919
minutes and I'll take five minutes of

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:05.279
question at the end

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:07.520
so hello again I suppose you're starting

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:09.200
to get pretty familiar with me and my

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.719
start right now so

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:12.480
right now we're getting into the nitty

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.719
gritty we started today

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:17.039
I told you about how I'd ventured from

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:18.480
being a user

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.800
to being a maintainer and right now I'm

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.080
going to get the chance to

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.240
actually tell you more about the project

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.279
that I'm maintaining

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:28.480
which is called org rome

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.560
so even if I it would have had a better

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.320
impact if I'd

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.840
didn't scroll the page but you know

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.520
sadly I'm out of tea

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.120
it's getting late in europe and I'm

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.600
starting to get tired

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.360
so what I'm gonna do during this talk

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:46.160
is just to do real survey for people who

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:48.079
do not know what orgrom is about

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.480
some of you might might have you know

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:52.320
whilst browsing reddit

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.879
found a topic about orgrom and thought

00:00:54.879 --> 00:00:56.480
to yourself oh that looks interesting

00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:57.199
but

00:00:57.199 --> 00:00:59.680
you know I have my own workflow and I

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:01.039
get it don't need to change anything

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.199
about it you know I'm completely fine

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:05.680
using my very very large file or I'm

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.520
completely fine having my

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:10.960
database of notes which is I've been

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:14.560
accruing for like 10 20 30 years or so

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.759
so what I want to do during this talk

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:20.080
is both to present to you what orgrom is

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:20.960
about

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:23.439
if you are in this group of people who

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:24.000
do not

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.600
know what algorithm is about but would

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:27.520
like to know more but

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:30.560
also for people who have close to no

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.360
experience with Emacs and org mode and

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.040
was just found their way you know they

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.880
wanted to find the system to

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:39.840
write their notes basically and you know

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.439
they discovered this little tool which

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:42.960
is called orgrome

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:44.479
and they'd like to know more about this

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:46.240
so I've got 13

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:49.360
minutes to convince you to use hologram

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:53.360
so if we go in a very broad strokes

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:56.799
what is orgram orgrom

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.759
is a way for you to manage backlinks

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:00.320
inside

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:03.439
old mode and the keyword

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.040
in what I've just said is links now

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.080
there is a principle behind orgrom

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.879
which is called the zettelgasten method

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.239
which you can see written right there

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:15.440
it's a german word

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:18.000
which means a slit box if you remember

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.280
in old libraries

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.080
you had actually I believe if I scroll I

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.440
should have an example of this

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:26.640
yes so this is a slip box basically in

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:28.879
all libraries you used to have all the

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.560
references to the books that the library

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.599
used to have

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.720
inside those boxes and they're called

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:36.080
slim boxes because you can

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.480
insert stuff into the boxes and you can

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:41.200
remove stuff out of the boxes

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:44.720
now basically if I try

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:48.000
to summarize as simply as I may what the

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.360
zettel cast method

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.800
is about it's about having a way

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.560
to work with your notes which considers

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.920
elements of knowledge as atoms

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:02.000
so as something that is individual like

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.159
a single file

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.640
and you consider that in order to build

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:07.440
knowledge

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:10.560
you have to combine atoms together so

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.120
that

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.720
when you have one atom another atom

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:17.519
if you link them together you have a

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:18.879
complex

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.000
thought or a complex molecule

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000
okay don't quote me on the chemistry by

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.360
the way I shall remind you I'm an

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:26.879
english major I have no idea what I'm

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.239
talking about

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:31.360
so how does it work as far as a

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:32.000
note-taking

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.280
system is concerned and to do so

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.599
I'm just going to switch really quickly

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.760
to my Emacs if I

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.040
may so I'm just going to screenshot

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:44.959
onto my mac just give me a second to get

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:47.840
the windows all right

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.080
okay it's loading up oh no

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.720
I think firefox has crashed again okay

00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:56.000
so you're gonna have to give me a second

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.840
I need to figure this out

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.680
okay so everything is frozen right now

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.120
just to tell you so you're gonna have to

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.720
deal with my lovely voice

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:06.159
uh I mean can you confirm that if I

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.920
switch to a new ttr you can still hear

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.840
me

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.959
so can you still hear me now

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:14.879
okay so I'm gonna have probably to kill

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.479
firefox and log in again

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:18.000
so I'm sorry it's gonna cost us two

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.600
minutes but I'm gonna try to be as fast

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.560
as I can okay

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:28.560
okay no problem thanks

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.199
all right

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.520
I guess no event is a good one without

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:39.280
one or two technical difficulties

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:42.800
so I guess this is our share of

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.360
technical difficulties this year

00:04:45.360 --> 00:05:04.800
no problem

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.320
all right guess who's back it's not

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:08.160
britney it's just me sadly so you're

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.800
gonna have to make do with me

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.880
welcome back well thank you I'm just

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:15.520
gonna turn back on the camera if I may

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:19.919
all righty

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:22.400
and I'm going to make myself a presenter

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:23.520
and I'm going to

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:26.160
share my screen with you sleep box

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.880
testing

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.919
hello

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:32.720
so if my calculations are correct you

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.160
should be able to see my monitor right

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:34.800
now

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.160
um yep but not your webcam feed

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.919
not my webcam feed okay so I'm going to

00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:42.800
stop it

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.720
sorry for the little delay folks you

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.000
know it's uh

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.039
the show must go on can you see it now

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:52.320
um not yet still not

00:05:52.320 --> 00:06:00.080
damn it can I stop it okay so I'm gonna

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:04.840
yeah maybe try like sharing a webcam

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:32.960
first

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:36.319
all right I'm back now so I'm going to

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.759
share my webcam first

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.550
okay

00:06:39.550 --> 00:06:43.440
[Music]

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:46.560
all righty so can you confirm whenever

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.360
you've got my webcam working

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.880
let's see I don't see it yet

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:55.919
unfortunately oh it's loading up yeah

00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:57.120
it's coming up

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.680
yep I can see it awesome all right okay

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.199
we're back on track I've got still eight

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.880
minutes left to do so I might have to

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:04.160
have a couple of minutes to my talk if

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.000
you don't mind and shave off some

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.599
questions

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:10.800
okay do you want to share okay yeah

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.759
I'm on my way too all right all right so

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:14.639
please forget

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.240
whatever whichever technical

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.000
difficulties we might have have had for

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.479
the last

00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:20.240
three four minutes but we're back on

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.080
track now so

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:24.960
uh orgrom what is it and how does it

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:26.639
work so I was telling you all about

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.720
atoms and I was telling you about links

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.720
but how does it work concretely

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.800
so right now what you're seeing on your

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:33.840
screens

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:37.199
is a slip box which is what we the fancy

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.800
word that we use to designate your

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:39.520
folder

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:41.039
where all your notes are going to be

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:43.280
living so you have here and I hope you

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:44.000
can see my

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.039
uh cursor yes you can so we have a file

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:48.199
which is called

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.120
index.org and the good thing is

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.960
as you might have garnered by the fact

00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:54.240
that it finishes by

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.039
that org is that it is just an old mod

00:07:57.039 --> 00:07:57.599
file

00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:00.800
so I can create a heading

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.520
I can create another heading and

00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:05.280
everything works as you would expect it

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:05.599
to

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:08.879
it is completely it's just an awkward

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.400
file at the end of the day

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:13.759
so now what can we do with this

00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.840
now I've told you about links and you do

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:16.800
know that

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.520
org mode has links so what we're going

00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:20.080
to do

00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:22.479
is that we're going to create a new file

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:23.440
so we're going to go back

00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:26.240
to our directory and what I'm going to

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.000
do is that we have a special commands

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:28.879
actually let me just

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.199
show you my command I might help you a

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.240
little bit

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.360
see what I'm doing uh wait which is the

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.479
buffer

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:39.680
uh log mode yes exlog so now on the

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:41.039
right side of the monitor you'll be able

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.120
to see the command that I'm using

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.040
if you don't mind in order to have as

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:46.640
much realistic as possible I'm going to

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:48.480
make it a little bit shorter

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.720
smaller I should say is it not too small

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.320
yeah I believe it's good

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.720
so what I'm going to do is I'm going to

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.760
run a command

00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:57.920
in orgrome which allows me to create a

00:08:57.920 --> 00:08:59.200
new note

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.320
so I'm going to use my keybinding which

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.720
is not this one definitely

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.800
and I'm going to create a new file which

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:08.000
is in a

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.839
great tradition of examples in

00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.680
programming I'm going to call

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:15.519
foo right so at the bottom

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.600
in the bottom buffer I should say you

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:18.720
are seeing the file

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.760
foo which is as you can see here a

00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:22.720
capture buffer

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.640
just like you would have in blog mode

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:25.839
now what I'm going to do

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:28.560
is that I'm going to validate this file

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:29.200
and now

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.560
you see that we are in the file foo

00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:36.240
and the good thing is that I can start

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.440
writing without having to worry

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.160
about anything else and I was thinking I

00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:43.760
was going to say to say that I'm

00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:46.160
showing off about my typing skills but I

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:47.680
did make mistakes so

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:50.959
well nobody's perfect right so now we do

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:53.760
have this view file and we're going to

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:55.519
go back to the index so let's go back to

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.800
the directory

00:09:56.800 --> 00:09:58.560
we're going to refresh the file as you

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:00.000
can see we have a file which is called

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.560
foo

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:03.360
and we have the index so now what I'm

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:04.399
going to do

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.480
is that I'm going to insert a link to

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.760
this file

00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:09.920
so we're going to run another orgrim

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:11.360
command which you can see here

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.160
orgrim inset and I'm going to insert a

00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:15.279
link to the file

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.279
foo and as you can see it has now

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.959
appeared now what I'm going to do

00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:21.920
I'm going to save the file and now I'm

00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:23.040
going to show you

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:24.480
the little thing I told you about

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.720
backlinks before so I'm afraid I'm going

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.680
to have to hide

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:29.680
the commands for now but don't worry

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:30.880
I'll be back

00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:33.760
and I'm going to show you the side

00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:34.320
buffer

00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.839
so it is the buffer that you see on the

00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:38.079
right side of your screen

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:40.000
and right now it's telling you that

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.560
index does not have any backlink

00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:45.440
which is normal but if we follow the

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.320
link

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.200
fu now you see something different on

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.560
the right side so as you can see on the

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:52.160
left side we're back insta inside the

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:53.360
file foo

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.600
but on the right side we have something

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.560
showing up

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:00.160
one backlink in the file index

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:03.519
in under the heading heading you have

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.399
the file

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.680
sorry the link foo and you can just open

00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:08.720
the link

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.720
and you will be brought exactly where it

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.640
is so

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:16.240
okay so that was one thing now just

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:17.600
to make sure that you've understood

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.360
properly I'm going to go back to the

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.320
index

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.920
I'm going to create a second file

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:25.440
so now I'm going to use a command that

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.680
is slightly different so let me just uh

00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:30.800
show you the commands on the right

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:32.480
I'm going to run the command orgrim

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.839
insert and I'm going to

00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:37.519
end to enter a file which is called bar

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.600
so again at the bottom you can see that

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.440
I have a new file bar

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.920
I'm going to validate this file

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:49.760
okay I'm going to save index.org

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:52.959
and now if we go in bar and if I show

00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:54.320
you

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:55.920
the links on the side you can see that

00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:58.240
exactly the same we have a link

00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.480
now just to make the pictures complete

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.639
inside the file bar I'm going to insert

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.200
a link to foo I'm going to save I'm

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.959
going to go to the file foo and now on

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:07.920
the right side

00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:11.120
you can see that we have two backlinks

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.839
now you're gonna tell me yeah thank you

00:12:13.839 --> 00:12:14.720
leo but

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.760
what's the point well the thing is

00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:20.320
it might sound it might seem very simple

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.160
but I've just shown you

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:24.160
but programmatically it's a little hard

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:26.160
to do like we have to

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.000
look into your files to make sure that

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.079
every time you link your file

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:32.240
somewhere else we need to track

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.079
everything down

00:12:34.079 --> 00:12:37.920
and now as simple as orgrum might be

00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:39.519
looking to you

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.240
the thing is what we try to do with

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.279
orgrum

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.920
is to make sure that your collection of

00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:46.399
notes

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.320
remains consistent whatever we do

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.079
an example for instance like right now

00:12:54.079 --> 00:12:56.880
I've told you about a file named foo and

00:12:56.880 --> 00:12:58.000
the file name

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.120
bar let's say that for whatever reason

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.920
you decide to rename your file foo to

00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:04.720
something

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.079
very original let's just say bar

00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:11.040
so we actually have a way in Emacs in

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:12.320
orgrim I should say

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.560
when you modify the title at the top of

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:15.680
the file

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:18.880
so we get foo I've modified it with baz

00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:20.320
you can see at the bottom that right now

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.000
we haven't saved and we are still in the

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:22.519
file

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.079
fu.org I'm going to save

00:13:26.079 --> 00:13:29.360
and now what you see is

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.560
a new name for the file but you may ask

00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:35.360
wait a second in the other file we had a

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.880
link to this file

00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:38.880
does it mean that it's broken does it

00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:40.560
means does it mean sorry

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:43.440
that we cannot access the file anymore

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:43.920
but

00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:46.959
when we go there beginning to go in the

00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:48.000
index

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.399
so obviously the actual description of

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.079
the link hasn't been updated

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:54.320
but if I show you what goes on under the

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.680
hood by showing you

00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:57.440
what is fontify what is behind the

00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.000
content of the link

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.320
actually it didn't work and that's why

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.079
you never present live folks because

00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:04.639
otherwise you're

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.920
just going to show problems with the

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:08.880
software and that's not good

00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:12.079
so something must have gone on obviously

00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:15.120
but generally speaking the file should

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.120
have been updated

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:18.959
damn I'm showing you bugging my software

00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:21.279
that's not very professional now is it

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:25.040
basically to come back to the main id

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:28.079
what we try to do with orgrom is to make

00:14:28.079 --> 00:14:28.880
sure that

00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:32.639
everything remains consistent we

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.279
really much love the system of

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.360
organization that is behind this little

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.720
castle method

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.240
now I was going at this point of the

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.600
presentation basically I wanted to go

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.639
back to firefox

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.199
and show you more stuff but it's likely

00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:46.880
that it's going to crash again

00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:48.959
so I'm not going to tempt the devil and

00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:50.240
I'm just going to continue talking to

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.680
you like that

00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:54.800
so the zettelkasten method

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:58.160
is a very organic way

00:14:58.160 --> 00:15:01.839
to write notes and if you think

00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:04.959
I I believe as all mode users

00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:06.639
we share quite a lot of features and I'm

00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.000
out of time I'm just going to take one

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.600
more minute to answer this question

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.320
that I'm asking myself anyway but if

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.560
you're anything like me

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:16.079
you've you've been through many

00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:18.240
iterations of your workflow inside of

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:18.959
mode

00:15:18.959 --> 00:15:20.959
do I keep all my professional stuff

00:15:20.959 --> 00:15:22.959
under one heading or do I create a

00:15:22.959 --> 00:15:24.399
separate file for this

00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.920
you know those types of questions on

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:28.000
which you could ponder for

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.639
many many hours at night generally when

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.360
you have a

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.560
tight deadline to be following but

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.959
what I've discovered by using orgrim for

00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.240
taking notes about

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.720
my academic projects or by taking notes

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.360
on

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.880
you know anything worth writing about

00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:47.440
is that not having to worry about the

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.199
structure if you files

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:52.399
just having to worry about atoms

00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.079
and links it does wonder

00:15:56.079 --> 00:15:58.480
for the way you think about problems it

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.639
does wonder about your creativity

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.800
and it does wonder about your ability to

00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:07.519
take your thoughts put them on a paper

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.800
and generally you know during this

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:10.399
process you realize oh maybe I do not

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.120
know this concept as well as I should

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.079
but I've never had a system which

00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:16.800
brought me

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:19.839
as much serendipity as this system

00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:21.440
and for those who don't know serendipity

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.880
the ability to come up with novel ideas

00:16:24.880 --> 00:16:28.800
on the spot contextually so

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:32.240
this was just a little primer on what

00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.959
orgrom and the zettelkasten is about in

00:16:34.959 --> 00:16:36.000
about

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.000
20 minutes I'll be giving you a talk

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.680
about the technical aspects of orgrim

00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:40.800
which I'm certain

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:43.040
some of you will be very interested in

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:44.160
and

00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:46.160
otherwise I do have a youtube channel

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:48.560
where I try to

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:50.720
record videos where I explain to you

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.079
what the org

00:16:52.079 --> 00:16:53.839
what organ is about what the method is

00:16:53.839 --> 00:16:55.600
about and

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.040
and I'll just finish on this I'm two

00:16:57.040 --> 00:16:58.720
minutes extra time sorry

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.399
but um we do know that a lot of people

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.079
are interested into orgrim I mentioned

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.959
at the very beginning of the

00:17:04.959 --> 00:17:06.160
presentation

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.360
that a lot of people discovered Emacs

00:17:09.360 --> 00:17:10.640
and orgrom

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.640
and old mode even through orgrom

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.400
and we feel that we have a duty to

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.959
introduce those people this new pool of

00:17:20.959 --> 00:17:22.720
people most of whom are

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.439
academics into the world of Emacs and

00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:27.600
into the water free software

00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:30.240
and right now the thing is we're not

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.240
doing a particularly good job at writing

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.080
manuals I'm just going to try

00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:36.160
to stop sharing my screen because I'm

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:37.360
nearly to the end

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:40.240
and just try sharing my firefox windows

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.919
if it allows me no it doesn't allow me

00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:43.120
which is very good that's why I won't

00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:44.160
have to

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.200
to screw things up but

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.080
uh we know that our manual is not fully

00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:50.880
up to date

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.760
but believe me one of the key focus

00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:54.480
right now

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:56.960
is making sure that within two to three

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.840
months

00:17:57.840 --> 00:17:59.679
we have a good tutorial for people to

00:17:59.679 --> 00:18:02.559
join and we have good videos for people

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:03.840
to get introduced to the topics we're

00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:04.640
covering

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.320
and that's me done so thank you so much

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.679
for listening and now I'll be taking

00:18:07.679 --> 00:18:09.840
some questions

00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:12.880
thank you very much leo oh thank you

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.679
cheers we have I think about two minutes

00:18:17.679 --> 00:18:19.440
four questions and I see a lot of them

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.880
on the pad

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.120
would you take them sure so yep I'm

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:24.320
scrolling I'm scrolling

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:27.600
uh getting things done that's aldrich uh

00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:30.000
still scrolling okay olgram oh wow okay

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.679
so we do have quite a lot of questions

00:18:31.679 --> 00:18:33.600
so please excuse me if I'm answering

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:34.799
your questions really fast but I just

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.760
want to make sure that I cover

00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:38.080
as much ground as possible so what is

00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:40.240
the functionality of all chrome unlinked

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:41.039
references

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.200
so basically when you have a file that

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.200
is not linked anywhere

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.000
this function allows you to see uh let's

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.520
say we have a file Emacs

00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:51.200
and we've talked about Emacs in another

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.200
note but we haven't created a link

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.440
what this command do is that it

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.520
looks into your folder for every mention

00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:00.720
of Emacs that is not

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.840
linked to the note Emacs and it prints

00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:05.039
all the results in the buffer so that

00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:06.480
you know okay I've talked about Emacs

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.840
here but I didn't create a link

00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:10.480
do I want to create a link that's it so

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.840
is it possible to use the backlinks

00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:12.480
features

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.039
in regular old buffers right now no it

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:16.400
is not possible we are

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.080
having a very controlled environment

00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:20.240
which is I told you about this clipbox

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.280
folder before

00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:22.799
this is where we keep all the nodes and

00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.400
the reason why we do this will be more

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.080
evident when I go through the technical

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:27.360
presentation

00:19:27.360 --> 00:19:30.720
but uh it's because of optimization

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.080
so I'll get back to you on that

00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.760
afterwards um

00:19:33.760 --> 00:19:35.440
do you make all group database

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.039
accessible across computers

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.760
uh no I do not because I'm only using my

00:19:39.760 --> 00:19:41.760
laptop but plenty of people have had

00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:44.559
a lot of success doing so either by

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.039
sharing the files via a sync thing or by

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.679
any other

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:49.760
method we have a section in a manual

00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:52.400
specifying how to do this uh how do you

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.760
discover the tags links to add to your

00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:54.880
new algorithm note

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.160
there is something that I didn't tell

00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.679
you about which is called orgrim server

00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:58.240
which is a

00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.679
magnificent way to uh access

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:04.320
visually the nodes that you have in your

00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:05.360
in your system

00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:07.840
you'll have to go to the orgrom.com

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:08.799
website

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.640
and please go on our github page and we

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:12.080
show everything and

00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:14.640
um I hope what I've told you has excited

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.000
you so please go

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.000
uh maybe one more question two more

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.080
questions just to make sure uh is it

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:21.679
possible to seamlessly link to other

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:23.039
notes with syntax instead of a

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.919
keybinding

00:20:23.919 --> 00:20:25.840
yes we are working on this this is a

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.120
huge project that we're doing with

00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:28.880
orgrim which is called uh

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.960
link ux and we're trying to do something

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.880
which is very close to rome research

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.559
which is the software we're using for

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.880
inspiration for orgrom

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.200
and uh yes there's there are going to be

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.280
ways to do this in the future I'm going

00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:42.640
to give you a window of

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.280
maybe three to four months and one last

00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:46.320
question

00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:48.480
uh good on you thank you well thank you

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.440
for for this

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.039
is there an easy way to export several

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:53.200
selected nodes to say a lattice file

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.960
latex yes uh I mean it's old mode

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.840
at the very core it is org mode so you

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:00.480
know you don't

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.559
if you want to export to latex file you

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.000
can you just use the

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.320
aux latex library which you can access

00:21:06.320 --> 00:21:08.320
by pressing ctrl c ctrl

00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:11.760
e for export all right is it uh I

00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:12.480
believe I'm

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.919
it's all the time I had I mean can you

00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:16.880
confirm this

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.039
okay so if you have more questions don't

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.240
worry I'll be in chat

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.679
I'll be answering them uh I'm also on on

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:26.799
all the platforms we advertise on on

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.159
orgram if you want to reach me I'm

00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:29.280
really easy to reach

00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:31.919
our gita page is always open so thank

00:21:31.919 --> 00:21:32.559
you all for

00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.520
all your questions and all your energy

00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:37.440
about orgrim it is very exciting for me

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.640
to to see all this

00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.000
but right now I'll be ending off the

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.080
microphone I should say to nura who is

00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:45.840
going to talk to you about the

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:48.480
academic way to use orgrom and I'll be

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.080
back afterwards with the technical talk

00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.760
okay thank you thank you very much leo

00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:57.760
see you later guys
