# This Notebook
|
|
|
|
This notebook is [[zane-meyers|my]] primary store for long-term notes.
|
|
|
|
It includes rough ideas
|
|
that I'm likely to change my opinion on
|
|
as my understanding of them develops.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
The larger part of this notebook is falls under a few [[supertopics]],
|
|
mostly industry knowledge and notes relevant to [[my-occupation]].
|
|
|
|
The rest is whatever else I feel is worth writing down.
|
|
|
|
### Daily Notes
|
|
|
|
It's hard for me to reconcile the idea of daily notes
|
|
with the purpose of [[personal-knowledge-management]] as I see it.
|
|
Nonetheless, they are popular, and generally enjoyable to write.
|
|
See [[periodic-notes]] for appropriate use.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
* Compensate for my poor memory
|
|
* Make my achievements in understanding more "real"
|
|
|
|
## Tone
|
|
|
|
I write as if someone else will read these notes,
|
|
I find this beneficial for my current and future selves.
|
|
Explaining concepts completely
|
|
forces me to understand them completely
|
|
and to provide context I may be tempted to omit
|
|
because it is obvious at the time of writing.
|
|
When revisiting notes its then much easier to pick up where I left off.
|
|
|
|
%%
|
|
|
|
It's recently been pointed out to me
|
|
that it can't possibly be my intent for others to read my notes,
|
|
since I tend use diction and syntax that is needlessly opaque.
|
|
I'm compelled to agree,
|
|
but I don't know how to reconcile that fact with my intent.
|
|
|
|
My response is simply that it's fun to write like this.

## Conventions
|
|
|
|
### Text Wrapping
|
|
|
|
I didn't like them at first,
|
|
but this notebook uses [[semantic-line-breaks]]
|
|
for text wrapping.
|
|
|
|
I shoot for less than 90 columns.
|
|
This line of text (which is precisely 90 characters) is the maximum length for prose here.
|
|
|
|
## Licensing
|
|
|
|
It is my intent that any outside sources used here will be properly cited,
|
|
and that work can be assumed to be my own unless otherwise stated.
|
|
|
|
For the content I have the right to,
|
|
I dedicate to the public domain,
|
|
with no need nor request of attribution.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
This notebook is in constant need of maintenance.
|
|
For the current backlog, see [[TODO]].
