#emacs

@fsf
Would love to, but I'm just a newbie managing and publishing his digital garden through #OrgMode, a stupid #CSS and the power of #Emacs.
Nothing new and nothing that anyone won't be able to do.

Finding the shape of my thoughts #emacs #org #writing

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.

Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

My big achievement this year has been that I now instinctively hit "C-x C-s" regularly. #emacs #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Using web searches and bookmarks to quickly link placeholders in Org Mode #org #emacs

If have an #Emacs session open somewhere, what is your `M-x emacs-uptime`?

(This is a low-effort test to check reach after migrating away from my self-hosted server)

I wonder, did you ever cross paths with https://anggtwu.net/#eev @eduardoochs in software-freedom-dom? #FOSS #libre I use the heck out of Eduardo's eev mode in #emacs .

If we happen to get @kentpitman around - Kent has written before about the relative impossibility of getting paid to program when once you personally come up with a unique program, someone will immediately rush to make a libre clone of it. I guess you successfully "did that".

Installing lisp for beginners.

So much computing is predicated on having this or a conscious alternative decision to it. Here is my attempt to help beginners get this far. What do you think?

New blog post on M-x apropos #Emacs! This one is part of the Emacs Carnival, hosted this month by @greg (please consider this my submission, Greg). The topic is "Writing Experience", so I described a bunch of my favorite commands for writing and editing prose in Emacs:

https://www.matem.unam.mx/~omar/apropos-emacs.html#writing-experience

#programming #workflow #GUI #mcclim #commonLisp #emacs #ecl #clisp #slime #leonardoCalculus #eepitch

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/LCKR-object-oriented-simulation-simulation/

I have to say, I am really, really happy with how the flow into the thirty second GIF reflects my ideal computer useage.

Basically, I write a clim command that steers my leonardo system "like a person does" via emacs-server, visible in the background of the straightforward clim interactor GUI I generated in a couple lines.

@Zenie @sacha

Maybe #EMMS becomes finally usable for me?

So far, I'm using #quodlibet, because I can easily search:

&(artist=Aníbal Troilo,performer=Alberto Marino,#(date<1945))

Or:

&(lyricist=Enrique Santos Discépolo,composer=Mariano Mores)

If I could use #Emacs for #Tango, how cool would that be?

@sacha

I recently contributed a bunch of code to #Emacs #EMMS. As a result I was invited to join the development team which I'm excited to be a part of.

My code was merged last week for version 23 of EMMS. There was a small breaking change.

There is now an entire system for searching and filtering tracks. It's backwards compatible with the old browser filters, but very different and very powerful. It is interactive and all filters can be represented as data.

It's super cool and very enjoyable to use.

I wrote a post to give an overview to it on my shiny new website here.

Magit in Emacs is easy for scripting. Examples of simple scripts that automate some boring operations:

- backup current branch https://gist.github.com/grafov/6ca754d47590dd972e35e41de56739fe
- force push branch to another existing branch and switch back https://gist.github.com/grafov/6eb2937bdca79dd4a9f4afb823d7b7fc
- commit staged changes and merge (rebase) them to the previous commit https://gist.github.com/grafov/1fa5ce74fe5f4d4f536d78c971bf5638

#magit and #emacs power!
