A milestone of sorts, what a ride it's been
I've reached a milestone of sorts. 3k zettel. Yes, I think of my zettel as moose—both singular and plural. I don't care what @sfast said in Q&A #6 - Plural of Zettel — Zettelkasten Forum. I'm sticking with the plural zettel. Zettel aren't exactly just notes (notes being the plural of note.) I have new strategies for… -

Re: Is it a Wikipedia?
@chrisaldrich said: I would say, following what @Martin and @andang76 said above: "It's all hypertext." Is it a Wikipedia? No (for reasons that other commenters already gave above), but Wikipedia is hypertextual, as are many other documents. Riccardo Ridi's conclusions about hypertext are relevant (emphasis added): I don't… -
Re: Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week. August 29, 2023
They might have been, prior to the Internet. Standards have declined. Here are the direct quotes from (Ahrens 2017). The last quote is the fully unqualified normative commitment to a life in which nothing counts other than writing. Ahrens says you should do "... everything as if nothing counts other than writing."

Re: Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week. August 29, 2023
Clearly, I've been wrong this whole time. I was under the impression that #4 and #6 were the keys to enlightenment. I'll have to reorder my thinking. Thanks for the tip.

Re: A milestone of sorts, what a ride it's been
Awesome milestone. My Zettelkasten changed in its behavior right in this note range.

Re: Unique identifiers with email
@Dr_Feelgoof You can do something sort of like this using an email's globally unique message ID. Message ID's usually look something like slkf8329hslfjsdfl@example.com. One way to retrieve a given email's message ID in Gmail is to click on More (the three dots), then click in the menu on Show Original. There are also… -
Re: Beginners' Guide to Newbie to the Zettelkasten Method
What follows is just personal opinion -- others will have different views. The Zettelkasten Method * Take short notes -- ideally one idea or topic per note. * Link the note to other notes which contain associated ideas. That is all there is to it. Beware of those who introduce unnecessary complexity into the method. You… -
Re: The Zettelkasten Method: nonlinear Zettel note format
@GeoEng51 Sorry, I butchered this wonderful illustration. Please note the illustration doesn't fit exactly (books would not overlap, entry notes would be outside the shaded areas) but hopefully, this will help clarify and answer your question. The attached picture is a typical illustration of a Zettelkasten. [1] The…
