This Notebook
#meta
This journal is for me rough ideas that I'm likely to change my opinion on as my understanding of them develops.
It's 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.
This is not an appropriate place for definition lists, tables, or other resources provided without context or analysis.
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.
I often use an arrogant tone which helps me stop fiddling over specific wording and just write; somewhat similar to the technique of pretending you hate your audience to sound more confident.
Conventions
Semantic Line Breaks
I didn't like them at first, but this notebook uses semantic line breaks for text wrapping.
I shoot for less than 90 columns.
