The main idea of creating the slip-box is to have a way to explore new branches of a specific knowledge, so if you take a note on how to create a timestamp in Linux from the command line. After that you may want to know how to create a file with this timestamp, something like this
touch date +%s
So, in this new note on how to use touch to create files, you can link as previous note the one that had the date +%s explication, as this is a note that continues the thought

- 22a2
- 22b
- 22a
- 23
