While working on another project yesterday afternoon, I ran into set of documentation ([https://docs.feathersjs.com/](https://docs.feathersjs.com/)) that I spent a lot of time reading and will likely forget about sometime soon after I abandon using the library in other projects. Of course I stuffed a bookmark of the documentation into my quasi organized set of chrome bookmarks based on each project, but the fact that the documentation was hosted using [Gitbook](https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook), reminded me of a practice I've seen others do.

-I'm often searching online documentation for answers to commands, configurations, and error messages. The problem is that I've found myself repeating those searches because of the breadth and depth of the amount of functions and libraries involved in development. My wife suggested I call it TIHIDI (this is how I did it) after explaining what I was working on. It makes sense to put my daily explorations into this publication in lieu of publishing them in the database of my main site because Gitbook is quicker, easier to search, and I can keep all the files in a version control repository on my local machine as well. It'll help keep me keep my bookmarks as little less cluttered and it'll leave my [desk page](https://davidawindham.com/desk) free for longer form essays. I'm hoping this document will be of assistance. After this README, I'll write a help page and I'll add some of my vi cheat sheets to get started.

+## About
|
|
|
+This is a place to store some notes and documentation. It was originally built as a way to make notes on interesting things I learn based on one of my favorite sub-reddit/[TIL](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/). While installing it the first time I wrote 'Today I learned that Google will translate to and from [Zulu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_language)'.

-Today I learned that Google will translate to and from [Zulu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_language). My page is referring to the database and computer operating system and not the Zulu philosophy of a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy) One of the best sub-reddits is [TIL](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/) and other organizations have published thier own TILs ([https://github.com/thoughtbot/til](https://github.com/thoughtbot/til) & [http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/til](http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/til)) . I figured that since I spend most of my working time with the terminal, git, and text files, a more efficient and easier method of documenting the time I spend reading other documentation would be to build my own TIL. This way the information I aquire will be easy to record, search and edit.

It makes sense to use a static documentation instead of database because it's quicker, easier to search, under version control, and the file formats are interoperable with other software and publishing frameworks.
