I often thought that store some information as Prolog facts would make it more accessible while being somewhat structured. I have not had time to build a proof of concept on this.

#62I still have found my holy grail : a kind of knowledge management software where I could just stuff things probably with tags. Not only links (I have pinboard for that) but ideas, snippets of knowledge etc.
This would be online (not necessarily self-hosted) and I'm willing to pay for that.
Accessible via smartphones and potentially with an email gateway would be great.
I don't think mindmapping software fit the bill. I really would like tag and/or full-text search.
Wikis come close but it's quite cumbersome to add a piece of info.

#65If it is super important, I write it down in a hard bound journal. I find things get lost in digital note keeping apps. Yes you can search, but there is no structure to the data so you get back a whole bunch of unordered keyword matches. I often thought that store some information as Prolog facts would make it more accessible while being somewhat structured. I have not had time to build a proof of concept on this.

#66Still looking for an optimal solution for calendar though, and other information I keep in Dropbox, iCloud notes and on paper lists.

#67- managed owncloud for calendar
- managed, but small and lovely email provider with catch all on my own domain
- semi managed hosting (shared server with multiple non root users and ssh, unique thing) for website and quick online sharing of text or screenshots (upload via shareX+ftp)

#68Google Calendar
Evernote (I might be way too dependent on this)
Re: Ask HN: How do you organise/integrate all the information in your life?
#69Aside for scheduled items (they go in a calendar) and program-specific things (bookmarks go in Firefox), everything's a file. Unscheduled todo goes into ~/todo. Documents are in ~/d/org where org is the organization (school/company name). There are often subfolders, like subject name for school. Archive in ~/d/org/_archive/year. If a project is still running, it is still in the ~/d/org root, not in the archive, regar…

#70Self-developed solution that gives a hierarchical structure to to-dos, reminders, and related information: https://nachapp.com For anything which I can't figure out a way to tie to one of my current goals, a helpful general rule of thumb is that, it may not actually be that important to hold on to. There are of course exceptions, but they're few enough that a nice folder structure on my hard drive can catch the rest.…
