An easily forkable commonplace book of interesting, VERY well-annoted code in any language. Take it and add your own.

Code Commonplace Book

What is this?

Right now it’s a couple files and no big deal. It could grow into an easily forkable commonplace book for heavily-annotated interesting code of all kinds, notes, and so forth, from the enormous digital world in which we find ourselves. But let’s not put too much pressure on things.

Table of contents

Perhaps some day a table of contents will go here. Or not. Again, cart, horse.

Why not use the GitHub wiki?

Because this should be a live, local document that anyone can add to in their own little experimental world. That part of git is really awesome. There’s just something about having a big bunch of stuff on your hard drive to figure out and execute locally that is the essence of computing.

Of course org-mode limits things to emacs. But it has great HTML export and syntax highlighting (and thus should work for ebooks) and LaTeX support for pretty PDFs.

It’s no big deal in any case.
