Notes and Ideas

In Want of a Title

a gentle introduction
start Konquerer
choosing 'Home Folder'
- 'Hide Navigation Panel (F9)'
'Settings' -> 'Configure View Profiles'
'Profile name:'
- type "My Project" (use a more pleasing name)
- check 'Save URLs in profile'
- check 'Save windows size in profile'
'Settings' -> 'Save View Changes per Folder'
open/create a project folder (can I avoid the term "folder"? Not without circumstances.)
'Location' -> 'New Tab (Ctrl+Shift+N)'
'Location' -> 'Open Location (Ctrl+O)'
open (each in a new tab)
- an image
- a (short) movie
- a PDF file
- some web-pages
- one or two pages with content releated to the project
- one general "reference page" (Wikipedia?)
- one dictionnary (Miriam-Webster? dict.cc?)
save the project
close Konquerer

A Word to My Fellow Brethen of the Ancient Order of Electrical Circuitry

if you're not talking to another system administrator, developer or some kind of tech-guy, forget about files, folders, hard drives, devices and such.
start to think in "projects" (or "tasks") like "This are the tales of my grandfathers youth", "That are pictures from my holidays", "This is a thesis about medieval artifacts in the valley" and so on.
don't re-invent the wheel.
use, what's already there and glue that stuff together.
remember Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who happens to be both a pioneer in technology and a great poet. He noticed, that technics starts primitive, grows complicated and matures simple.

Nepomuk looks like the thing to power a PIA.

Documentation

to avoid confusion, it's useful to create a role account with a pristine installation of KDE.
the choosen distribution might be a remaining source of a different "look'n'feel".
hence, the distribution should be documented at least in the meta-information of a documenation.
is there a kind of "KDE Reference Installation"? Something, it's agreed upon, that this is the proper "look'n'feel" for all things concerning documentation?
whom to aks? Whom to suggest such a thing?
