Cedric Chee's Wiki

Work-In-Progress (WIP).

Hello. Welcome to InfoWarehouse — a modern information "warehouse" in the form of a wiki.

This project is part of my Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).

The public wiki contains "raw materials" (resources) for writing. The resources and lists link to the original full-text source.

I am sharing them in the hope that they would be useful to you as well.

What kinds of contents​

The initial content in this wiki was migrated from My Knowledge Wiki (GitBook):

  • Notes from courses (educational materials) that I've study. (mostly for fast.ai and Coursera)
  • Notes on various programming (technical) topics.
  • Notes from books and other interesting things that I've read.

[WIP] This wiki also aggregates some of my lists:

User Guide​

  • The order of items in sidebar is alphabetical except notes from courses.
  • I will rearrange and rename at any time with no notice.
  • This is a public wiki - Terms of use: [TODO]

Information workflow​

I design my note taking system based on a few ideas. One of them is progressive summarization1.

I "capture" information from a wide variety of sources into Shiori (a bookmarks manager). Next, I move selected bookmarks to InfoWarehouse.

The 5 layers of summarization2:

  • 0: Original full-text source, raw information (i.e.: books, articles, papers, references)
  • 1: Notes (i.e.: notes from projects that I've work on, notes from interesting things that I've read)
  • 2: Highlighted passages
  • 3: Bold passages
  • 4: Mini summary (i.e.: notes from books I've read)
  • 5: Remix (i.e.: writings, blog posts, micro posts/Tweets)

InfoWarehouse is in layer 0.

Once the raw info is processed, it will flow to my digital garden3 (built with Obsidian).

Digital Garden​

Layer 1 to 4 is in my digital garden available on https://github.com/cedrickchee/amethyst (WIP).

I document everything I know and learn so far about the world in the form of a digital garden.

I also want to remember more of what I read, so I take notes to share compressed wisdom.

How to use the wiki effectively?​

In the right corner, you can make searches for what content I have already indexed or you can simply explore the tree view to the left.

Other things I wrote and shared​

I share my knowledge in a longer form by writing articles. I also love writing code and share it all on GitHub. You can find all the things I have made and shared thus far here.
