The End for local notes

Post by Snake Man »

Some days ago I decided to start writing my bug reports, ideas, tweaking suggestions, tutorials, guides and whatever other information I gather by learning it myself or finding out from the internet, into PMC Tactical Forum instead of my local notes which are private, only for me. Hence The End for local notes. Only exception to this is obviously information that contains privacy sensitive info, that is still written in my local notes.

Also extremely speculative or incomplete "work in progress" text/info will most likely be written in my local notes too, I would not want to put such out here if its meant to be my notes until I get whatever info it is to finished either by learning or whatever means.

What I mean is that often times I write down notes while hair on fire editing something or learning a new game-play technique or whatever, these notes are sloppy and unpolished, written for expert like me, I cant put that stuff into a website as tutorial or guide because it assumes the reader has many decades of computer use experience. So I have to dump or "sweep under the rug" all such text into my local notes in hopes that in the future I bother to come back and finish what I was doing. Unfortunately often times this doesn't happen, I move on and do something else completely forgotten I had written something down.

Any local notes by definition are private just for me, nobody else an access them. This is bad, feels very wrong, I feel guilty of learning some new good stuff and not sharing it with everyone else, this is one of the reasons I want to dump all my notes online in PMC forum instead of hiding them in my local area network.

My goal is to start going through my local notes and dump them online into websites where they belong, being it ofp/arma/falcon stuff for PMC Editing Wiki or farmsim stuff for farming-simulator.org, cities skylines, sea power, silent hunter, elite dangerous etc etc, which ever case it might be. Right now there is just massive amount of data in text tutorial format that would need to be published.

But of course I'm lazy and burnt out, instead of spending my time bringing this info, tutorials, guides or whatever it might be, to everyone on the internet I rather just stare at blank computer screen hoping my burnout goes away ;)

I'll try to work hard on bringing all these local notes memos, pages and pages worth of highly valuable information to everyone online.

Here is the first ever public PMC Tactical Forum bug report post instead of local note in PMC Undefined Farms 20km Developer Diary topic. Hopefully there will be hundreds if not thousands more to come :)

Always improving, never falling back, leave no man behind whether its on virtual battlefields, on the streets or in sharing knowledge.
