(Up to: Ideas Organising My Brain Magpies And Lego Bricks )

Things that may come in useful when all put together...

• Markdown

  • As an easy, portable text-input scheme
  • Also useful for simple list handling maybe...
  • Now being implemented as a pre-publishing, editing format. (In fact, I'm editing it this very text using it.)

• My del.icio.us feed

  • As a portable incoming linkfeed
  • and tags in general

• Code for this site, including Life RSS

  • As a portable outgoing linkfeed
  • RSS Feed aggregator -> e-mail: mostly coded

• FOAF

  • As a social contact manager

• Mozilla

  • In particular, the ability to develop and install small pieces of functionality in the form of extensions.
  • See also Favourite Mozilla Extensions

• ICS Calendars

  • Some way to tie together calendars via_ clients _and text files, maybe.
  • Possibly hack Viki or Potwiki to caterfor my own wiki-like format in plain text.
  • Also maybe convert between text format and a simple iCal feed.
  • iCal format is pretty simple.
  • This may be superceded somehow by remind and some kind of remind-ics conversion - see this page for more...

• Remind + Wyrd

  • In fact, this will probably supercede the ICS stuff above because:
  • Wyrd is based on vi, so maybe there's a way to integrate it
  • Calendar Integration is easy through files and appending (a la ">>")

• Blogger

  • Already have a "public" blog
  • Maybe also have a private one (stored locally) for notes, rather than a "Notes" e-mail folder

• CVS

  • For version control/history
  • Also for back-up
  • Now semi-implemented

• Command Line Utils

  • By storing everything as plain text, I can resort to useful tools like grep, find, etc, etc.
  • See Vim Plugins

More to come.

For a comparison of wiki-like simple "mark-up" languages, see the Markup Matrix.
