Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Always heard about org mode but was intimidated by emacs when I could barely manage vi/vim (sorry guys). Installed a plugin for org-mode for Sublime Text today and... shit, why didn't I try this sooner?

I have thousands of text files with horrible organization, thrown around multiple directories, no common naming scheme, no hierarchy, no unified notation, just ramblings and a barely marginal attempt at organization using === as title markers. I have links and ideas buried deep and I didn't want to use a third party tool "just for managing text".

Well, my eyes are open, and thus I'm euphoric, enlightened by its brilliance. I must rewrite all my stuff in org-mode.

For the tables you can do 'M-x org-table-create' which then asks you for dimensions and makes it for you.

I think org-capture might help you with the other stuff, you can set up templates and access them by pressing 'C-c c' and get it all inserted in whatever org file and under whatever heading you want.
