I've had an emerging interest in how TiddlyWiki can help me triumph over Perry Mason.
The man who didn't know if he did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GngUIpaN2U The dog did it?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCZXCkKbRM Perry Mason, the old TV series, is a treasure trove of linguistic tropes. I'm interested in it because I teach cinema and how to get the best from the weird language of cinema & TV (hardly anyone actually talks that way unless they watched too many episodes of Twin Peaks). Its very useful to become more familiar with the way that plot and speaking interlace and the specific ways that filmic lingo is constructed. I've been playing with BJ's RegEx enabled version of his Flexitype plugin to help extract spectacular bits like ... > *Unfortunately, you people walked into a trap. Inventions made on company > time, with company funds, belong to the company. – #PerryMason* *Morning, Miss Street. Perry. Last night I went over the Rollins-Huxley > contract, found a nice lovely flaw in paragraph three. – #PerryMason* > *The district attorney is going to think it mighty peculiar that you picked > last night, of all nights, to spy on your husband. – #PerryMason* > *I was just explaining things to Mr Huxley. Don't let me interrupt. Now, > these two goldfish are suffering from gill fever. – #PerryMason* Using BJ raised the issue for me for *the need for a more interactive, dynamic ways of using regular expressions in TiddlyWiki*. - A way of working where you can interactively select results. - Where you can update easily a regular expression. - Where you can handle bulk results. - Where you can better handle globally applied regex. I'm pretty sure all of this is doable. Right now I'm just seeking ideas that will help me better spec what is needed. Quite a lot has been done over the years but its all a bit fragmentary. I'm wondering most if its possible and valuable to try bring things together. *But together into WHAT?* What could it look like & FOR what?
