Folks,
I thought I'd pass along a little technique I have developed.
I used to fill many handwritten notebooks on all sorts of ideas.
However, I am now inclined to do my thinking at the computer. I used to
have one large "scratch" file where I put my musings. I now have a new
technique.
Into each BlackBox subsystem's /Docu directory I put a file called
"Scratch.odc" where all thoughts appropriate to that subsystem reside.
For example, under /Golf I have calculations for the tragetory of a ball
rolling on an inclinded plane with friction. Under /Physics I have
quantum entanglement calculations. Under /Intelligence I have
clustering algorithms and approximation of multidimensional probability
distributions. I use Greek symbols frequently so have defined Ctrl-G to
change the font of the hilit text to Symbol. Most convenient.
From these scratch files I can go back and extract the meat and write
publishable documents.
Just thought the scratch files idea might be useful to share.
-Doug Danforth
(Aside: What I would really like to have is a pen based book which
duplicates my handwritten notebooks but can hold thousands of books AND
can do symbolic logic to verify and check proofs).
