Instuctions
Welcome to Andy's digital garden / second brain / knowledge base / blog. This all built using Emacs' Org mode. Some files are private, some sections within files are private. You can read more about me in the About Me.
Generally I make all of the notes myself.
Daily notes are in Notes,
with new notes at the bottom having heading heirarchy as
Notes > [YYYY] > Daily [<YYYY-MM-DD>].
The <YYYY-MM-DD> latter being an active timestamp (so it shows on org-agenda).
Notes on external resources are organized by day at Blog roll,
with some overlap between the private notes above (the difference is that the
Notes are private).
The format there is
Blog roll > Daily [<YYYY-MM-DD>] > [Resource name].
Beyond daily notes and external resources, we generally have notes on bikes, houses, and cars variously scattered around.
The blog posts themselves have format YYYY-MM-DD-[short-name].org,
see more complete notes on the blog at How to publish Org mode blog to HTML.
Beyond the blog as an output (which has a pre and post processing step in Python),
we have inputs for my personal and work calendars from ics files
using https://github.com/andyreagan/ics-to-org (local readme) via local script
sync_calendar.sh, which then get automatically included into org-agenda.
More inputs are planned, generally in the direction of making this org system as the basis for a personal assistant like Stevens.
Claude can read and modify this knowledge base using the mcp server https://github.com/andyreagan/org-mcp (local readme).
