Why am I making this presentation?
- presented
- at this place at this date
- at this other place at this other date
Title
Catchy subtitle!
Plan
- Why?
- Explicit result : public wiki
- Implicit result : Integration
- Cool examples
- Safety
- Privacy
- Rules/heuristics
- What's yet to come
Why?
- because I had too many things to think about
- classical tools (pen and paper) made it worst
- http://www.OurP.IM/PIM/Review-Utopiah
- because I was experiencing the browser as a central point of my activities
- because I think the human mind has intrinsic limitations
Explicit result : public wiki
- http://fabien.benetou.fr
- searchable through Seeks and other search engines
- accessible through RSS feed
per page, per group and globally
Implicit result : Integration
- Vimperator+mouseless-autoscroll+...
- shortcuts, macros, ...
- autocommands
- locked tabs
- Keywords
- history analysis (cf SQLite demo for live note taking)
- Irssi+Bitlbee+...
- SocialMemory
Speed does matter when you repeat a task over, and over, and over...
Cool examples
One key to
- search across the entire wiki
|keyword- but also Google search across multiple wikis
=keyword- and even just
(to search the selected text in them
- and even just
- but also Google search across multiple wikis
- person search
>person_name (repeat last person search@p) - automatic link formatting with
w- giving * [[URL|title]] selected text
%on selected text to search across my collection of read books
(even more) Cool examples
Generating feeds on
- content I want to memorize
- events I must prepare
Every piece of information is dated
- search when a topic was added
- backtrack the thinking process (e.g. how this very presentation was done)
- every page has an associated history page
- annotate changes
Safety
- remote backups
- boring so...
- do it with the command line once
- use that command with cron
- improve with checksums
- improve with automatic deletion of older backups
- etc...
You will feel more relax, trust me. 
Privacy
- local instance
- once it's public, believe it will remain so.
- indexing engines : Google.com, archive.org, ...
- a two edged-sword game
- the more you share, the more others can help you
- the less you share, the less others can use that information against you
Know what you want to share, what you do not want to share.
Rules/heuristics
- perpetual Αλφα (live on the edge)
- speed over idealized safety
- yet safety net (cf backups)
- it's a process not a product.
- it's your, don't limit your design to what exists
- keep it integrated and coherent
- example of...this very presentation!
- leveraging and leverageable.
- links matter
- if you can't keep it within your PIM, at the very least link from and to it
- Path:/pub/
(yet more) Rules/heuristics
- quantitative is nice
- helps to remain "coldly" objective
- way better than long-term memory (yes, we all have biases)
- visualization is important
- helps to recognize patterns of complex objects
- don't repeat thoughts unless you want to
- MemoryRecipe
- have a local wiki (offline but with a computer)
- have paper note books (no computer)
- keep it scalable
- avoid CognitiveDrag
What's yet to come
- going faster
- be more visual
- integrating more and more practices (with code repository)
- way more scalable (PersonalML/PML)
- better collaboration on such tools
