Organization
So I was organizing a bunch of papers I have and added categories to the whole thing.
I’m rather amused at how I function nowadays and thought I’d share. For each paper I have something in a text file like this:
Minch99
-Reconfigurable Translinear Analog Signal Processing
-21
-For OSS
-Talks about MITEs and actually implements log-domain filters with them
>TL, FILT
This is the file name, title, page count, original purpose, summary and categories.
The part I find amusing is that it would take me probably less than 5 minutes to make a python script that can pull things out by a variety of factors. It would take me like 20 minutes to make an appropriate database and an AJAXy setup for looking through it. I like that I naturally set things up in a way that makes it easy to port like that. I’m also amused that I choose to just scroll through my text file. Oh well.
You’re pretty much just a tiny step from writing YAML.
