Gabriel Arazas edc686c25c Update wiki on various topics
This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless,
it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the
following topics:

- Learning
- Writing
- Various Linux-related stuff

I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow
for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still
a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on
learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so
ehhh... Better have those than nothing?

Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple
to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls.

Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders
only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on
every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for
each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden.

Expert resources are often very specific so you'll have a solid idea what you can do.
This is more helpful if you already have a rough idea as you'll be forming more concrete tasks by the time you refer to them.
For example...
- When starting out to 3D modelling, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry.
- In roam:Programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, fairly popular software projects, or a live coding session.
- In [[id:cd7e8120-6953-44a6-9004-111f86ac52dc][Illustration]], you can look for speedpainting, competitions, and art contests that can be found online.
This is to [[id:01459b18-3f30-418e-bd8d-42661d5ea223][Start with wishful thinking]] at its finest.
You can then store the expert resources and [[id:66337935-420c-40e6-81a6-f74ab0965ed5][Maintain your own digital library]] for future references.
The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects.
If you [[id:fdf9e3eb-02c5-47a6-b586-e71a5c92d01a][Look for live sessions as another form of examples]], the inspirations are especially great as you watch the actual process unfold.
Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway.
You can start with [[id:2667d942-48b6-4d1e-b92b-15c2dab645ed][Switching between different topics makes new perspective]] (e.g., starting with beginners' tutorial then refer to expert resources for improvement).
In fact, it is a bad idea to start with expert resources as [[id:48cef2ac-a941-463d-a07f-6be8349456ad][Diving head-first into a difficult problem makes a bad start]].
