Re: literate programming, development log -- ideas? (ominbus reply)

Juan Manuel, Eric, Jack, Arne,

thank you all very much for your thoughts.

i've sort of come to grips with Jack's + Arne's, solution, and defined a
"capture template" that adds something to a pre-named headline.  (note
and capture are among the org features of which i have maintained to
date a studied ignorance; alas, or a-luck, no more.)

i realized i would like to have headlines (mostly to have the
convenience of =consult-org-heading=), which i think rules out putting
my logs inside property drawers.

Eric, when you use something RCS-like as your version control system, i
assume that makes grepping to find some old note easy enough.  but,
these days i tend to use git.  when (assuming) you use git, do you have
some easy way to say "well, i had this code that looked sort of like
this... where was it?"?  (sorry, that's really a git question, but ...)

cheers, Greg
