-   Thinking about my [[music listening strategy]] a bit today.  Finding and listening to music in a way that supports artists gives the finger to the big corps.  What's yours?

-   If I wanted to convert my org-roam files for use in [[Agora]], I think the main issue would be lack of wikilinks for internal links.  I could make use of a [filter](https://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-Export-Configuration.html) function on links to resolve that, I imagine.  (I've already got a script for [[converting a whole folder of org files to markdown]]).

-   I think I like the bulleted day log style that for example [[Flancian]] [uses](https://anagora.org/node/2020-11-07).  A bullet for each log, not a new heading.  I will try this for a while.  To be determined however, how this maps up to the [[IndieWeb]] notion of notes and which ones I publish on my stream.

-   I have both a private journal and wiki, as well as this public one.  They are two completely separate [[org-roam]] databases.  There's a slight disconnect between the two, which introduces some friction when I'm thinking about where I should be writing something.

-   [[Ton]] [mentions](https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2020/11/100-days-in-obsidian-pt-6-final-observations/) that he does not like the idea of publishing his notes to the web.  "To me that is unthinkable: my notes are an extension of my thinking and a personal tool. They are part of my inner space. Publishing is a very different thing, meant for a different audience (you, not me), more product than internal process".  This is very interesting, I'd like to spend some time to reflect on it.

-   Also trying out [[Flancian]]'s method of tagging people as [[person]].  Not sure where that will get me, but interested to see.

-   I watched the webinar [The Indie Researcher: Tools for thought and internet academia](https://www.stream.club/e/indie) yesterday.  It was interesting, more discursive than really actionable advice, but a few takeaways that I liked:
    -   being an [[indie researcher]] should be about being curious in public - not necessarily being an expert in some domain with a position to defend (I think [[Anne-Laure]] said this)
    -   being 'indie' doesn't mean you just do it all yourself - it's very much about discussion and community, too
    -   it might free you to do some things that might not happen in an academic environment

-   Feeling really happy that Trump lost / Biden won.  Biden might not be about to bring in a socialist revolution, but holy fuck at least he's not Trump.  It feels good for there to be a positive piece of news for once.

-   Experimenting with [[placing my daily logs in a journal subfolder]].  They would then be ready for being incorporated in to an [[Agora]].  I think it'll be nicer that way just from a general tidyness perspective, too.
