The core idea of Zettelkasten:

1. ONE (shared) dump-pile of all new notes. Your 2,600 pile should do fine

2. REGULAR 'cleaning' of the new notes: a) Each note gets one or many tags (#urban-decay #gaming #assets) b) Each note is trimmed down to its essence, ready to be used for reasonable purposes. (e.g further writing)

3. 'cleaned' notes are moved to your golden store, ready to be found by searching (search "#urban-decay")

You have 1. You need 2. It's slightly work-y, but interesting and ... fun. Rediscovering and polishing forgotten dust-rubies.


That's a solid workflow. The "cleaning" step is where most people fall off though - how long does it take you to process a batch, and how often do you actually sit down to do it?


You are slooowwly waking up.


Well, metaphorically, yes.


Ha! The "general strike".

The general strike is a sad, obvious myth solely to delude us tax-cattle that we will have power, one day, for a day. Something something workers something bosses something something struggle. Bullshit for peasant workers.

"general strike" needs to be thrown in the same box as "communism" and "democracy" and "representation".


^ This ... and note, it is sarcasm.


Dude man, great respect for your work.


For women, mandatory wearing of either a bikini, or a tube-top & bikini-knickers, ONLY?


I agree the old bikini-only rules were problematic. The sport has been moving away from that - FIVB now allows one-pieces, tank tops, and shorts for women.

On MyNextCamp, I show whatever dress code info the organizer publishes (if any). If you see outdated or concerning requirements, that's worth flagging to the organizer directly - or choosing a different camp.


sounds about right.


My understanding is that the New York Times is a big Perl shop out there in thems back offices


Wow, that's a big company, thank you for your information


When I was at school I wrote an essay on Beethoven's life. Beethoven's third symphony, the "Eroica" is important in that it is a marker of the start of the Romantic era (his first two symphonies are straight out 'Classical').

The maybe six times I mentioned it, the third symphony, I managed to each time accidentally title the work the "Erotica". Such is being a high-school student.

No important ramifications.
