Curated Knowledge for the Masses

Created by Jimmy Briggs

Welcome

Welcome to my personal knowledge base - KaaS or Knowledge as a Service.

Inside is my personal, customized, digital knowledge note-base structured loosely as a Zettelkasten, a collection of interlinked Atomic Notes about anything that interests me.

Consider this my Digital Garden. It is a garden that needs to be maintained and cared for overtime to produce fruitful outcomes.

Roadmap

Currently I am persistently perusing and curating my 10,000+ various notes houses across various platforms and locations: I would say I am about 18% complete in this endeavor.

About

Check out the Meta/ Folder for details about this Vault and its setup:

• Meta
  • About
  • Publish Workflow (MkDocs version only, not Obsidian Publish)
  • How I Take Notes
  • Vault Setup
  • Structure

The Changelog is also a good Meta resource.

Launch this vault directly via the Obsidian URI Schema: obsidian://open?vault=KaaS.

Publishing Setup

• This repository has three main branches: main, develop, and gh-pages. 
  • The main branch is a representation of the develop branch, but with all obsidian wiki-links converted to GitHub markdown links for display on GitHub as well as _README.md files converted to README.md for display on GitHub. 
  • The develop branch mirrors what I actually work with while inside the Obsidian application and gets sync'd automatically.
  • The gh-pages branch is deployed using MkDocs and GitHub Actions.
  • Links are converted using the rust library Obsidian-Export.
  • Links for deployment are converted using the mkdocs-roamlinks plugin.

Check out the various GitHub Actions utilized to enable this entire process.

Structure: Maps of Content

If this vault serves as my version of a second brain, then Maps of Content or MOC's are the underlying synapse's connecting the neurotransmitters of the brain together to form a complex, structured system.

In other words MOC's serve as structural, index notes that list related Atomic Notes in a single location.

Utilize Maps of Content (MOCs) to navigate the vault efficiently:

Some Maps of Content to consider are:

• Actuarial Science
• Development
  • Data Science
  • Data Engineering
  • Databases
  • Web Development
  • Software Development
  • R
  • R Shiny
  • Python
  • PowerShell
• Productivity
• Personal Knowledge Management
• Mathematics and Statistics
• Finance

The others are still works in progress as I collect and curate more notes into the vault.

Content

• Code Snippets
