And I thought I could document the development process here.
I've wanted to explore the idea of a non-hierarchical file manager for a long time and this is the result, Hyperplane.
The idea is that you organize files by tags (or categories or whatever name I end up with) instead of folders while still being able to access them from a traditional file manager.
You can test it now if you want, details in the README:
I do write a lot about Personal Information Management (PIM) topics, I did some PIM research about local file management, I love to give lectures on PIM topics.
Therefore, it's quite natural that people start to believe that my personal PIM situation is near perfect.
@publicvoit
thanks for sharing that, i think it helps a lot to approach a better set of tools and workflow to light up that there is no perfect solution even for those who practice the subject deeply and for a long time.
I never took any strong pattern to organize things until it became a problem when i first had a disk crash a long time ago. when rebuilding things i tried many ways to do things and organize like 15 years ago.
but things began to be way easier to find and organize when i read about your python tools and your orgmode posts. thanks for this !
Eigentlich schade, dass ich mir gar nicht mehr die Arbeit antue, beim #37C3 einen Vortrag einzureichen, nachdem ich mit allen meinen Einreichungen bislang gescheitert bin.
Ich denke, das #PIM Thema interessiert beim CCC niemanden. 🤷
Zu tritival? Wenn man bloß wüsste, was ich "alten Hasen" zu so allgemeinen Themen wie #Email und Co. noch an praktischen Wissen beigebracht habe ... https://karl-voit.at/tags/pim/ 😔
Egal, dann hab' ich weniger Stress und kann mich mehr unterhalten.
Is there a smart way to store browser #bookmarks (internet addresses) that is completely independent of the browser used to access those addresses? The use case is in #nixos when #firefox is broken but I have stored my bookmarks on-line with them to make them available on any device I log into with my firefox account. Can one set up a cloud or home NAS or server bookmarks service that stores the addresses & makes them seamlessly available in #librewolf#brave etc. when logged in to that server?
Despite SAAS like #Teams or #Slack, I still find #email has the greatest longevity, and is roughly standards compliant many years later accessible via numerous web, desktop & mobile apps.
@onghu I fully agree on the subject lines - the idea needs to be to make the email as useful as possible for the receiver. Most people just say what they want to say without thinking about what the other side needs to know.
About categorizing email: there is something very personal about feeling good with one's email archive and for people who feel like you, your tips may be very useful.
For me, when I read "File away e-mails once they are answered" I shiver. I think filing emails is a coping mechanism to tell oneself that the email will be found easier in the future, when the opposite is the case. See a post I wrote about that a couple of years ago: https://wildente.vivaldi.net/e-mail-folders-and-whats-wrong-with-them/
Especially in IT, trust is everything and working with different solutions and providers is always a matter of trust. The possible fact that Microsoft’s new Outlook-offshout is seemingly sending sensitive data to Redmond could shake the world IT to its very foudations - years after the once acquired mobile Outlook-app did the same.
Wenn du noch nicht viel über die Themen weißt oder noch unschlüssig bist, solltest du dir das mal anhören - gibt einen guten Überblick über diese ziemlich ausgereiften Powertools.
Die Zusammenschnitte der Tage waren durchaus cool. War damit auch auf einer #PIM Konferenz. Hatte danach Bilder von allen Gesprächspartnern. Half mir durchaus, da ich ein schlechtes Personengedächtnis habe.
How come that people are working with tools (and content) like #Confluence, #Jira, #Webbrowsers in general, #Word, ... and don't have external #monitors in portrait orientation? 🤔 🤷 #PIM
Can only guess. I have a portrait monitor everywhere I have a PC setup. 😄
a) mediamarkt never demonstrates this for them? 😅
b) you need at least a 1200x1920 screen for portrait orientation. 1080 is just too narrow. They were not common last time I shopped for a portrait monitor
Learned about a nice #pim#selforganization idea today:
Tagging your #todolist according to mood and energy level best suited to the task:
E.g.
todos for when you are exhausted and just want to relax: watch that movie you always wanted to see
Todo for when you are motivated and full of energy: get that thing started you've been putting off.
Todos for when you want to do something to pass the time or focus thoughts on something mundane.
