Information that has no potential next action associated but that still has potential reference value and that you'd like to keep around, how and where do you keep it ? I usually check - if it is related to a project, I put it in this project's wiki page (a simple .org ASCII file named after the project under ~/org/wiki folder). If it's not, I try to find out if there's a wiki page that I could fit it into, if not, I create a new file under the wiki folder. I used to use tomboy, but I'm trying to move/center all my data to my org folder. I still use Tomboy for quick notes (collection-phase) though, but not for reference. I then have a simple function that searches (rgrep) through the whole ~/org folder, so that whenever I want to check if I have something about subject x, I just rgrep my PIM folder. ;;a little elisp func to rgrep through all my org directory (defun org-rgrep (REGEXP1) "Searches through all my org/PIM files" (interactive "sSearch PIM for: ") (rgrep REGEXP1 "*.org" "/home/marcelo/org" )) ;;bind the previous function to windows_key + o (global-set-key [?\s-o] 'org-rgrep) Would you mind sharing how you do it?

I usually check - if it is re= lated to a project, I put it in this project's wiki page (a simple .org= ASCII file named after the project under ~/org/wiki folder). If it's n= ot, I try to find out if there's a wiki page that I could fit it into, = if not, I create a new file under the wiki folder.

I used to use tomboy, but I'm trying to move/center all my data to = my org folder. I still use Tomboy for quick notes (collection-phase) though= , but not for reference.

I then have a simple function that searches= (rgrep) through the whole ~/org folder, so that whenever I want to check i= f I have something about subject x, I just rgrep my PIM folder.

;;a little elisp func to rgrep through all my org directory
(defun o= rg-rgrep (REGEXP1) "Searches through all my org/PIM files" (inter= active "sSearch PIM for: ") (rgrep REGEXP1 "*.org" &quo= t;/home/marcelo/org" ))
;;bind the previous function to windows_key + o
(global-set-key [?\s-o] = 'org-rgrep)
=A0
Would you mind sharing how you do it?

Tha= nks,

Marcelo.
