Re: Problem with import

I modified this script to point to the 'js' directory and made it a script button, all it does is create a level one node 'imported files' with two descendants, both @path nodes, one for the directory an one for the reveal.js file. On Friday, January 31, 2020 at 6:14:28 AM UTC-5, Edward K.

Re: Leo for organizing notes?

I'm not up on the current books, but here's a possible starting point - https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide One thing to keep in mind. There are two series of Python - 2.x and 3.x. They are basically very similar but have a few differences. Even though 3.xx has been the main release

Thomas, I will respond to your notes, and I'm working on a concise description of my envisioned system. On Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at 2:01:16 PM UTC-5, Thomas Passin wrote: > > Here's another potentially useful paper - > > http://people.csail.mit.edu/msbernst/papers/p337-vankleek.pdf > > The

Re: Leo for organizing notes?

"Nonsense. Anyone over the age of 7 can learn python." Love it! Where do I start? More politely, could you recommend a handful of what you consider the best resources/approach for a beginning programmer? I may or may not dig in, but I might as well give myself the opportunity and exposure.

another problem with failed import

I haven't had a chance to do my "by hand" rearrangement of reveal.js. I'll look at how the improved importer does and incorporate that to get and outline for study. I wasn't aware that failed imports are supposed to block the save activated overwrite of the file for the @auto node, so I

Here's something interesting. Remember the Memex, described by Vannebar Bush in 1945? It sounded like a mixture of the Web and a zettelkasten, with better media input means than perhaps we have today. Well, someone is trying to actually build one, or at least something as close as he can get
