"bluefish editor" freeware on top of a linux operating system (Fedora core). I suggest a more user friendly version of linux for non programmers. I've made short shell scripts which copy templates to different keyboard combinations. I have scripts which validate the html I've written. One of the things that bogs you down is getting image link text from camera/scanner into the html file, so I automated that as much as possible so It is just a matter of opening the scanner and hitting one hotkey which kicks off a script, and scans the image, puts in in the images folder (prompting me for a filename) saves it and injects the html into my bluefish editor. Same thing for photographs and videos on my camera. It's all gotta be (One click-add) or it will take hours each session just fiddling around with documents. The real secret is adhering to the rules of a wikipedia. Nothing may be added without establishing its link and relevancy to another page. Also, Here is the secret sauce, a tough rule is that when you introduce a new page that links to an old subject, which introduces new information, or new evidence which contradicts old pages, you have to spend time and re-build the pages being linked to. I have a system where editing one significant page has the possibility of having me go back and change previous observations, the benefit is that it automates your thinking process. If you keep all your thoughts you ever have into a tight tree form, you can find that your human memory is upgraded a hundred times over. I was able to use process of elimination to determine which foods were causing my acne, and through continued graphing and elimination, was able to find what elements in which foods were causing it. Something many doctors would probably like to see. When I go to a new dentist, I sometimes bring along my entire history of each tooth, each operation i've had, i can see where that time I kissed the wrong girl caused a microbe party in my mouth which caused cavities. Though the dentists have no idea what microbes are in my mouth, through my wiki. I have a good idea. In some ways the wiki makes me a better dentist (to myself) than the professionals. It's a wikipedia that treats myself like scientists would treat a newly discovered intelligent alien craft. Everything about it is described, graphed, analyzed, compared, and charted. Nothing about it is taken as a given. The part that keeps me coming back to it is my thirst for knowledge. When I browse hacker news, stackoverflow, and (years ago, digg), anything that struck me as useful for growing myself or growing knowledge was included. So now I have like 800 items in a list organized by category and awesomeness, that to this day when I look at it, I still see the importance. I have a category of guitar songs I can play, piano tunes, how I learned. etc. Whenever I hear a song that provides a certain response, sadness, happiness, euphoria, depression. I write it down on a receipt, then when I get home I log it. So I have a series of songs I can play which seriously induce all these emotions. I try to stick to the happiness songs. there is a boat load of ones that cause the other emotions. As a result I have 30 songs that when I play, suddenly make me happier. Sometimes when I'm depressed I play the depression inducing songs and it makes me extremely depressed, and I can look at myself like a computer, an input output device, and I see that depression is only a response to external stimuli, if you can take control of your external environment, you can custom make your emotion for that hour/day. |
