In this website you will find some pages which contain a notes section. Some pages will consist only of that section. These sections contain nothing more than my personal notes about the subject. I don't always have the time to write a nice article about a topic if I learn something new. Nonetheless, what I learned could be useful to someone. That's why I decided to render (most of) my notes public, with the disclaimer that they are not there to be nice, complete, up to date or even correct. They consist of raw material, links, short definitions, shortcuts, code snippets, memos and so on. I try to take notes in a structured way, and I try to optimize them for text searches, adding keywords I think I might use if I look for that subject in the future. Many notes are results of searches via google. I try to reference or credit the original author, or just the page where I found the solution with a link where I can.

Developing notes

When I discovered Linux I started developing ways of doing it effectively on my pc. For some time I used a small desktop wiki^[1], then I switched to Vim and a directory with many plain text files. Now, with a small plugin I wrote for vim, I write notes directly in the website's database. The advantage is that now they are available to anyone (if I choose so).

Syntax and further goals

I try to write notes in a structured way, using some conventions. The main goal is to keep it as clean and intuitive as possible (because I have to write them). On the other side it would be cool to be able to parse them, infer the structure and generate html, xml, latex documents or beamer presentations out of it. Still some work to do. More details on my page about Conventions.
