NOTE Introduction

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.959
Hello, everyone. My name is Marco

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:13.359
and today I'll talk about gardening with Emacs.

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:17.199
Gardening? Yes, but digital gardening, obviously.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.359
But first, one thing: I'm sorry, yes,

00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:22.519
I'm a Microsoft Windows user.

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:24.679
I know, I know. I said I'm sorry.

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:26.159
Please stick with me.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.319
Do not skip this talk!

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.199
Promise, I'll show you only free software!

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.199
And speaking about free software,

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.919
yes, this presentation is not made with Emacs,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.039
but I made it with LibreOffice.

NOTE What is a digital garden?

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:41.999
So what is a digital garden?

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.319
A digital garden is

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.479
your personal corner of the internet

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:47.839
to cultivate ideas.

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.079
Think of it like a real garden

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:54.394
where you plant seeds (your new thoughts),

00:00:54.395 --> 00:00:57.379
you water them (you add the details),

00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:59.959
and watch them grow.

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:03.199
Unlike a fixed-date blog,

00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.319
which shows only polished results,

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:09.279
a garden includes works-in-progress--

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.479
like seedlings in a greenhouse.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.759
It's a network of notes

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.319
connected by links and tags,

00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:21.279
helping you see patterns in your thinking.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.159
Here, the ideas are not static;

00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:26.399
they evolve as you learn,

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.359
creating a living archive of your mind,

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:37.739
just like the plants in a garden grow.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:41.519
Also here, instead of the blog platform,

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.879
you decide the tools, the look, and your pace.

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:50.599
I'll show you how I run my garden

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:53.039
with plain Org Mode files

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.639
and our favorite Emacs.

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.879
In short: a digital garden

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.039
is a flexible, pressure-free space

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.212
to explore, learn in public

00:02:04.213 --> 00:02:07.159
and connect the knowledge--

00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:11.519
your own digital ecosystem.

NOTE Why a digital garden?

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.559
Why a digital garden?

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.359
Well, a digital garden keeps knowledge alive:

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.039
instead of freezing content after "publish,"

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:22.399
you revisit and refine it,

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.079
so ideas stay accurate and useful.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.239
By sharing half-formed thoughts early,

00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.559
you lower the barrier to writing

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.159
and let concepts evolve gradually--

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:37.839
no need to wait for one "perfect" essay.

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.119
Links and tags weave ideas together,

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.479
revealing unexpected patterns

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:46.439
that isolated posts would hide.

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:49.919
This approach sheds perfectionism,

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:52.559
encouraging small, regular updates

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.879
that build momentum and invite collaboration.

00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:00.079
Well, actually, even not regular updates are fine.

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.879
Early readers can offer feedback, share resources,

00:03:04.880 --> 00:03:07.239
or identify blind spots,

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.039
accelerating your and their improvement.

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:14.719
Over time, your garden can become

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:18.439
a searchable showcase of your thinking,

00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:21.239
a living résumé for collaborators, peers,

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.919
or anyone curious about how you learn.

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:27.799
And what about me?

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.119
Why a digital garden?

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.139
Well, I actually have started a digital garden

00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:39.199
to learn Emacs and Org Mode.

NOTE How to digital garden?

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:41.439
How to digital garden?

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:42.999
Well, start simple.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.079
Pick one place for your notes

00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.119
and put them online.

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.419
Even the worst Github ever out there is fine.

00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:53.519
Then, well, maybe you can move out of GitHub,

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.019
but that's another story.

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:57.919
Capture your ideas quickly.

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:00.239
Publish them, even rough,

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.939
and maybe, if you want, tag them as seeds

00:04:02.940 --> 00:04:06.439
to let the other people know they are rough.

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:09.439
Learning in public is useful

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:11.579
because link-related pages

00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:16.859
so that readers can work through your thinking,

00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:19.919
helping them see your connections.

00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.039
Once a week or whenever you want,

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.959
prune outdated pieces if you want

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:26.519
or keep them there

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:30.459
and add fresh insights if you have any.

00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:33.399
Share your updates openly.

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:38.079
Invite comments because steady small steps

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:41.559
will keep the garden thriving.

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.239
And what about me?

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.359
How I do digital garden work with Emacs?

00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.139
With Org Mode and its publishing to HTML file,

00:04:51.140 --> 00:04:57.439
and we will see it in a moment.

NOTE How to make Emacs portable, on Windows

00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:01.319
How to make Emacs portable on Windows

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:03.699
is the first topic.

00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:05.999
Well, being in Windows,

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.739
I have the advantage and the possibility

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.879
to bring and use my data

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:14.299
and software basically everywhere:

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:18.159
home, office, my sister-in-law's PC

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.439
when she needs technical help,

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:21.439
friends and the like.

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.239
So for these reasons,

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.319
it's been many, many years

00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:28.519
I'm using exclusively portable applications

00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:31.539
that do not need an installation

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:33.239
and bring their own data

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.319
and configuration bundled together.

00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:38.799
And now also Emacs is portable,

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.679
inside my tiny, really tiny, USB key.

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.839
How?

00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:46.919
I mean: not being sure

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.799
if my USB key drive letter

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.119
will be D:, E:, K:,

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.639
or whatever other drive letter

00:05:53.640 --> 00:05:54.759
will be assigned to it

00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:57.719
by the system I'm plugging it into,

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.319
how can I specify, to Emacs,

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:04.439
that its home folder is on my USB?

00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:07.359
Well, I could maybe have used relative paths,

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.879
but then, where's the fun of hacking things?

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:12.699
The trick here is

00:06:12.700 --> 00:06:17.679
the not-so-well-known ~dp0 system variable

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.699
that contains the execution directory

00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:25.519
full path of the executable file.

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:29.039
And yes, it ends with a backslash,

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.339
so composing it with other literal paths is ugly as well.

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:37.539
The ~dp0 variable is only available

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.759
inside a batch file during its execution,

00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:46.719
and expands to the drive (d) and the path (p),

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.700
in which that batch file (0th)

00:06:50.701 --> 00:06:55.499
command line parameter is located

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:58.439
(that obviously cannot change

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:02.399
because it's executing).

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:04.679
The data are obtained

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.733
from the %0 system variable

00:07:08.734 --> 00:07:10.599
that contains the batch file name.

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.439
I actually have never tried,

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:16.279
but it should even allow to let the batch run

00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:19.819
from a UNC network location

00:07:19.820 --> 00:07:22.639
with no mapped drive letter at all!

00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:24.279
And that's the batch file

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:28.279
I'm using to run Emacs with an automatically selected

00:07:28.280 --> 00:07:31.139
and fixed Emacs folder,

00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:33.119
emacshome folder,

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.899
sibling of the unzipped Emacs one,

00:07:35.900 --> 00:07:37.679
regardless the computer I'm in

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.219
and the assigned drive letter.

00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:42.159
If you need a portable Emacs,

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.519
this is probably the simplest way to go!

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:48.399
Just put the runemacs.bat file

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:50.079
in your unzipped Emacs

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:54.379
(well, 30.2 actually now) bin folder,

00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:56.519
and your Emacs and its configuration

00:07:56.520 --> 00:07:58.619
will always be there with you.

00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:00.199
With this, I'm basically

00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:01.559
creating the possibility

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.239
to bring my own digital garden with me,

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.466
just like a little desk Zen garden,

00:08:09.467 --> 00:08:11.479
and together with it, also,

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.859
all the tools that I need to work on it,

00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:18.819
always with me, in my USB key.

NOTE My Emacs customization

00:08:18.820 --> 00:08:20.679
Speaking about configuration,

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.199
here comes the second topic:

00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:25.479
my Emacs customization.

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.079
Having a portable Emacs allows to

00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:31.319
always have the configuration with me.

00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:33.559
Yes, okay, but which configuration?

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:38.519
Well, obviously, I'm speaking of the init.el file

00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:41.999
that lives inside of the emacs.d folder

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.239
in my emacshome portable configuration folder

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.879
that we just saw.

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:48.319
I'm not an Emacs expert,

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.519
but I want to highlight a point here

00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:55.559
that has to be clear to every one of us:

00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:59.159
the set of basic considerations I had

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:02.019
for text width, tabs versus spaces,

00:09:02.020 --> 00:09:05.139
trailing spaces, and so on.

00:09:05.140 --> 00:09:07.299
As you can see here,

00:09:07.300 --> 00:09:08.959
I'm pretty opinionated,

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.759
but this is the important part:

00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:15.339
we are lucky enough to be able to use Emacs,

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.919
that is presumably

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:20.359
the most highly configurable tool ever,

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.679
so let's use it!

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:24.279
Remember that it's your Emacs,

00:09:24.280 --> 00:09:27.859
and you can and must configure it

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:28.879
for your needs,

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:33.139
even if it might seem ridiculous to others.

00:09:33.140 --> 00:09:35.279
Here, the configuration you see

00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:37.239
is not the important part.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.759
The important part is how you feel

00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:42.419
with your configuration.

00:09:42.420 --> 00:09:45.359
For example: I have a fill-column-indicator

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.319
at 72 characters,

00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.479
I prefer spaces instead of tabs,

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.019
no trailing spaces, truncate lines, and so on.

00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:55.479
It might seem weird to some of you

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.959
and to most of my colleagues

00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:58.959
(and friends as well,

00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.619
but that's another story!)

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:02.239
and it might even be.

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.199
But I'm comfortable with my configuration,

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.599
and you should be with yours too.

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.479
That is: as an owner and worker

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.479
of my own digital garden,

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.719
it's obviously easier for me

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.079
to choose my own tools

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.039
and adapt those to my needs,

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:23.159
instead of the opposite!

00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:25.719
If I want to put the roses

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.759
in a circle instead of a row

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:30.399
that is maybe the best practice, who cares?

00:10:30.400 --> 00:10:36.119
It's my garden, and I use it as I want.

NOTE PlantUML and Japanese

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.439
Continuing on the configuration party,

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:44.859
the third topic is PlantUML and Japanese.

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:47.199
Why those two are listed together?

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.679
Well, they are weird enough

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:50.879
to be both part of my configuration.

00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:52.839
First, I think PlantUML

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.019
is a very nice and powerful tool,

00:10:55.020 --> 00:10:57.359
so integrating it in Emacs

00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.899
is pretty useful,

00:10:58.900 --> 00:11:01.079
even if I'm currently using it

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.239
only to generate SVG images

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.959
when publishing my digital garden to HTML.

00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:10.599
There are some pain points

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.759
that I still have to solve,

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:14.739
and I know that it's also possible to use it

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:16.279
for (pre)viewing diagrams

00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:19.159
directly in Emacs, without publishing,

00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:22.839
but maybe I don't need this feature at the moment.

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.119
And I have to thank our favorite Sacha Chua here,

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.279
because she taught me (through Mastodon)

00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:32.359
how to automatically answer y,

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.919
when publishing in HTML,

00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:36.919
every time that PlantUML has to (re)generate an SVG.

00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:39.199
So, thank you Sacha.

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.839
Moving to Japanese, let me go back to

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.559
the previous slide for a moment

00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:46.319
to show you a bit more in detail

00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.799
the coding system I've configured.

00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:54.239
If this PC is helping me in moving

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.359
back to the previous slide.

00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:02.519
Okay, so let me... No, it's not working.

00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:05.819
It's not... Okay.

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:09.399
So, speaking about Japanese,

00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:12.359
I have studied Japanese.

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.799
My wife is Japanese,

00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:15.599
but that's a detail.

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.039
So I frequently write in Japanese,

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:19.639
and I wanted to write in Japanese

00:12:19.640 --> 00:12:21.219
also inside Emacs.

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:23.239
I learned, as you can see,

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.559
that UTF-8 DOS

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:28.479
is a more than enough coding system

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.139
to allow me writing in the same file,

00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:35.639
both Italian with all our accented letters

00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:40.359
and Japanese through Windows IME system.

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.879
This allows me to properly write, save, read files,

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:48.719
but it was not enough for copying

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.179
and pasting Japanese text.

00:12:51.180 --> 00:12:55.119
If I copied some Japanese text from the browser

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.759
or even from another text editor,

00:12:56.760 --> 00:12:57.879
it didn't work.

00:12:57.880 --> 00:13:00.679
It only pasted the rubbish in Emacs

00:13:00.680 --> 00:13:04.559
until I found out that for whatever reason,

00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:07.679
I had to use, as you can see in bold,

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:13.279
UTF-16LE DOS for the selection coding system.

00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:14.879
And this basically allows me

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:17.719
to copy Japanese from another file,

00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.599
text editor, browser, whatever,

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.699
and paste it in Emacs and vice versa.

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:24.399
So the lesson here is,

00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:26.279
if you need European languages

00:13:26.280 --> 00:13:29.159
and Japanese inside your Emacs,

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:32.359
well, this coding system works.

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.999
Let me go back to PlantUML and Japanese.

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.519
Another interesting thing about Japanese

00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:44.279
is this nice macro I found

00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.979
in the Emacs mailing list

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.719
to add furigana to Japanese kanjis

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.639
when exporting or publishing to HTML.

00:13:53.640 --> 00:13:55.559
It's actually even possible to do the same

00:13:55.560 --> 00:13:57.679
with LaTeX export/publish

00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:00.359
and I'll give you some references later.

00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.239
It's very useful because I can show,

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.859
as you can see on the example at the bottom,

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:10.219
I can show the easier-to-read pronunciation

00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:14.079
even for readers with really basic knowledge of Japanese.

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.319
(And it's also useful to myself, actually,

00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.259
to remember how to pronounce those kanji!)

00:14:20.260 --> 00:14:22.559
For those of you that have no idea

00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:27.039
on how to read or write Japanese, well, sorry.

00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:31.479
As you can see, the garden evolved from the beginning

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.319
on how to use Emacs and Org Mode,

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.199
and it's evolving further,

00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.399
and here it's becoming open to

00:14:37.400 --> 00:14:40.639
different plants (or PlantUML…)

00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:43.839
and also be able to adapt

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.659
to different foreign visitors' needs.

NOTE My Org Mode publishing configuration

00:14:50.660 --> 00:14:54.879
Third topic: my Org Mode publishing configuration,

00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:58.159
or where the digital garden is born.

00:14:58.160 --> 00:15:00.839
The latest (but not least!) part of

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.359
the creation and tending of my digital garden

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.119
is the publishing file that is needed to export

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.279
the whole Org Mode project into HTML.

00:15:11.280 --> 00:15:14.759
Here I do not have many fancy configurations,

00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:19.519
even though I'm copying the publishing.el file itself

00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:21.459
in the output folder,

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:24.859
to make it available in the published version of the garden.

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:28.519
Also I have added the mentioned configuration

00:15:28.520 --> 00:15:32.979
to manage SVG (or PNG) exports from PlantUML

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:34.279
(thank you again, Sacha),

00:15:34.280 --> 00:15:36.999
and I'm also forcing HTML5

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.059
without scripts as the result format.

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:41.239
Together with this,

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.439
I also have a fancy CSS addition

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.359
to the default one

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.239
that uses the System Font Stack concept

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.759
to harmonize fonts

00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:51.879
with readers' local systems,

00:15:51.880 --> 00:15:54.319
without downloading or injecting

00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.279
external fonts.

00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:57.799
I've customized links and tags a bit,

00:15:57.800 --> 00:15:59.839
with the CSS, together with tables

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.159
and some other pieces here and there,

00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:04.519
but nothing too much fancy.

NOTE The final result

00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:08.439
So, this is one (not-so-)random page

00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.039
of my digital garden,

00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:12.359
or my knowledge 枯山水,

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.619
my knowledge Zen garden, as I prefer to call it.

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:20.519
This is, specifically, the page related

00:16:20.520 --> 00:16:23.639
to write about the Digital Garden concept itself,

00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:26.079
as a sort of meta-writing.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.319
You can see the different

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.879
rendering of the links,

00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:31.639
depending if they are internal, in blue,

00:16:31.640 --> 00:16:37.659
or external to the garden in gray-ish.

00:16:37.660 --> 00:16:39.439
You can see the Japanese furigana

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.919
on top of the kanjis,

00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:44.359
and you also can see the automatic table of contents,

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.599
the custom aside component that highlights

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.819
the latest modification date, and so on.

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:53.279
Everything I've spoke about here

00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:55.919
is available in my digital garden

00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:57.599
in my knowledge kare-san-sui, again,

00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.599
as a sort of self-description

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.279
of the digital garden itself.

NOTE Thank you for listening

00:17:03.280 --> 00:17:04.279
Thank you, everyone,

00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:06.079
for being with me till the end.

00:17:06.080 --> 00:17:08.719
So as I said, if you want more details

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.039
about these topics,

00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:13.159
take a look at my knowledge kare-san-sui.

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.359
The link is here, and feel free to contact me

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:17.479
through Delta Chat

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.319
at this email address.

00:17:20.320 --> 00:17:21.319
Yes, I know.

00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:23.719
It's a Microsoft email address.

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.079
It's an old one.

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:29.019
I recycled it. I know. It's my fault.

00:17:29.020 --> 00:17:36.880
Thank you again, and happy Emacs everyone!
