1.1. 0x21EE

  • need to understand how I could document my current learning pursuits well
  • feel like I need to master relatively shorter formats (thinking 5 minutes tops)
    • video editing will be a necessary skill and a script will be mandatory as well to pack in as much content as possible to make it work for the reader.
  • will be focusing on technical and intellectual stuff initially and will start to work on branding my online presence a particular way
  • do wish to gain a decent viewership and actually provide value for them rather than capitalising on trends

1.2. 0x2143

  • initializing an iteration on my creation process
  • will be recording all feedback and relevant

1.3. (0x2122) YT Init : Incentives and Plans

1.3.1. History

  • second youtube channel
  • first -> to practice rhetoric
  • did help with working out the kinks in my communication skills

1.3.2. Abstract

  • writing a pretty good way to express yourself and show your work
  • albeit.., still incomplete : videos complement the process of expression
  • speaking into a camera, speaking from experiences, tricks you into thinking you're addressing a large audience - a pretty neat trick, I would say
  • I'm starting again with a slightly formal approach : https://www.youtube.com/@rajp152k

1.3.3. Settling into a Niche

  • Some topics that I'll explore initially:
    • Emacs -> instructive/customization
    • Common Lisp -> instructive
    • Programming Language Theory (Racket)
    • Book Reviews/follow-throughs (non-fiction/technical)
    • Interesting Research from different domains
    • Workflows, tools for relevant tasks
    • the occasional philosophical rant

1.3.4. The Long Term Plan

  • freedom of expression is a given
  • being free enough to express is what we generally lack…
  • targeting at least a video a week..

2. Buffer

2.1. Work in Progress

2.2. Prospectives

2.2.1. initialize a consolidators playlist

  • discusses results, feedback, plans and improvements since the last consolidator
  • Preferably : a weekly process published every saturday discussing the progress over the week
  • the qualitative and the quantitative
    • qualitative discusses my delivery, content, how consumers resond etc.
    • quantitative discusses consumer metrics, meta-data about the videos (length, etc) that are relevant to the qualitative aspect

2.2.2. generic ideas : introduction to new data science libraries

2.2.3. building a good relationship with text

  • My text editing journey
  • Vim, Emacs and VS code
  • first : learning to touch type
  • ditching the mouse
  • customization : everything is data (text)
    • variables, functions, hooks, representations…
    • custom keymaps :- chords and strokes
    • implicitly encode semantics into the binds
  • what is a good text editor?
    • the one that gets the job done
      • sed, for that matter on a remote server's docker container where don't even have vim installed
        • to change a single line of text in a mis-represented data/config file (eg: mal-headered csv) : where you don't have any editor installed
    • the one that lets you do it quickly
    • the one that assists you to get better at it
    • the one that makes you come back
  • Recommendation
    • Home: Evil Emacs
    • Work : VS code with a vi extension
