October and till December is now year closing time. Predominantly it will close a year of experiments on RoamReasearch. Probably by January will have some product ready. A concept that wasn't clear to me at the time was that Roam needed a type of acclimatization and to invest in that meant spending time away from applications I need to be actually using to create work in. Linking notes wouldn't create much difference for me. Finding and bringing those notes together is the first. Then I would need to go back to all my notes in other places and publish all of them. There is way too much content around and what is appropriate for research becomes complicated to address. The library instead of a side project is now a project in itself. The first check is to not have any more new tasks. Today though I do have a really really new drawing task which is very old. The zettelkasten, the slip box of a past, as I have always complained about was very text-centric. Now I will get to test it with images, drawing. I need to figure what a slip-box for images will take form as and how will thinking develop from its as an exercise. What goes into the making of images and therefore will a system to manage that inherently generate new ways of looking at drawing process, image construction, or spatial imagination. So after six months of using roam, I have a problem statement to address. PIM, for general projects, is what there is everywhere. Normal executable tasks can get done easily. There is no stress since it is not quantifiable. Drawing exercises never complete on time since they are always difficult to define a project. One is to think out a history of the book club and that of two years of note-taking in some way, I am not sure how that will turn out but it is necessary to close that. The other is the 10000 jpeg's NFT test run.
