| Overall theme: Improving my language skills. My hypothesis is

| thought. By becoming more cognizant of higher-level concepts and
| the differences between them, we can reason more effectively and
| improve our thought and communication processes.
|
| 1. Get back into the habit of writing and reviewing evergreen
| notes (https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes, An
| Executable Strategy for Writing:
| https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z3PBVkZ2SvsAgFXkjHsycBeyS6Cw...)
| and refining my Zettelkasten knowledgebase and perhaps making it
| publicly available at some point.
|
| 2. Continue refining the precision of my vocabulary and my
| understanding of the etymology of words. I've realized that I
| only have a fuzzy grasp of many of the words I use on an everyday
| basis, yet by becoming more aware of the nuances and subtleties
| of the usage, origin, and connotations of different terms, I will
| be able to express myself more accurately and also perhaps better
| be able to read between the lines of what others say and write.
|
| For example, consider the following definitions:
|
| Compound: composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.
|
| Complex: consisting of many different and connected parts.
|
| Consequently, a set of buildings which share the same property
| but are unconnected (for example a mobile home community, or
| standalone military barracks buildings) should be referred to as
| a compound. In contrast, if the structure has bridges between the
| different parts, it should be called a complex.
|
| Also consider:
|
| Sophisticated: (of a machine, system, or technique) developed to
| a high degree of complexity.
|
| Complicated: consisting of many interconnecting parts or
| elements, often involving many different and confusing aspects
|
| (from Latin complicat- "folded together", from the verb
| complicare, from com- "together" + plicare "to fold")
|
| An automobile is a very complex machine, since it consists of
| thousands of parts and systems. To a mechanic, it might be
| complicated (as reflected by manuals which are hundreds or
| thousands of pages long and hours of frustration), while to a
| user it is sophisticated - capable of doing many things, and yet
| still easy to use, since the complexity is abstracted away.
|
| These 4 words are seemingly very closely related, yet through
| careful word selection, we can use them to communicate very
| different ideas and emotions.

|

|
| - Edit any data from one device in my house and have it just show

|
| - Share items with other people, and collaboratively edit with

|
| - Support lots of different applications - including multiple
| different applications live editing the same data. Like a
| universal plugin model.
|
| Linux can't compete with cloud software like google docs because
| anyone running hosted platforms gets punished if the platform is
| successful. Ideally I'd love to get replica embedded in linux, as
| an alternative for desktop applications to use to store their
| state. Then users could open up the same app from different
| computers and have all their data there, and collaborative
| editing and things like that would just seamlessly work. I want
| to be able to open the same file in two different editors and
| have typing in one show up live in the other as I type.
|
| I want to opensource the whole thing, but we'll probably go with
| some sort of open core model and charge for our official hosted
| version (which you want for backup and delivery). I want this
| project to be financially self sustaining - otherwise I don't
| think it'll survive. But still opensource enough that people can
