and if the stars ever fell, one by one, from the sky

thebonesofferalletters and making a personal wiki certainly for the abominations story, but probably for the magical girl story as well (especially since a new character elbowed his way in last month). Possibly for the band story, too, if I could summon up the energy to go through the multitudinous notes for it (there is a folder full, plus whatever's on my computer, as this thing's been on the go since I was fifteen. It makes the notes for the abominations look miniscule in comparison).
While I was trawling through recs/articles/etc. I also saw that someone said it was a good idea for collating notes about anything you learn, so I might also put my music theory notes on one, as that may make them make more sense to me. Maybe.
(Someone did rec using Scrivener for this purpose, presumably as it has a notes section that's linked on the side with everything else, but that's not what it's for and that kind of irks me??)
And did you know you can download ALL OF WIKIPEDIA for accessing offline? (Well, I don't know if you still can, but you could as recently as 2013).
# I learnt how to delete kernels the other day, and that was weird and scary. I used Ubuntu Tweak to do it (noting this here for myself), because it displays all old kernels, but not your current one, so you can't break the OS accidentally (which is a thing that happens sometimes, and there is a fix for it).
# I also learnt how to do a magic trick in Audacity! I learnt how to record streaming music. And it was WAY simpler than I was expecting. Not that I have many applications for it, but it's a thing I didn't know how to do last week.
I also discovered Audacity can import audio from .vob files (what an Xbox dvd rips to) and, while I have an application for that (*cough*DA:I sound rips*cough*), I don't know how to do that yet (any of it) so it will have to wait.
(Though talking of DA:I, which we weren't exactly, I forgot how much I enjoyed listening to Ramon Tikaram's voice. Because even if the fandom have put me off the game, there's still that, and that's good). (Related: my brain is way happier now I don't go on tumblr so much).
# I think it's stupid that Instagram doesn't let you upload pictures from your desktop. Unless I'm being dumb and there's a hidden setting I haven't discovered.

Yeah, it's nice that I can dump all my notes in there to have them to hand, but other than the list on the side, there's no way to integrate them with each other (with, say, wiki links) and besides, I don't want that in my writing program.
