Oh, and I’m working up yet another Emacs config reset, to simplify the learning process while reading Mastering Emacs. Using better-defaults as the core.
Been sick the last couple days. Unsurprising after a week in Vegas. Modest fever confirmed, so it’s not just me being wimpy. At least it’s not COVID, according to home swab test.
Comments? Maybe? Let’s find out.
Tuning my Org tumblelogging setup for this site but of course since I’m using a Literate Config approach and generally publishing that stuff once updated I am of course reworking my config.org because I wasn’t happy with how a code block was being exported.
Trying to finish at least one book before I give in to the temptation to buy Roguelike Development with JavaScript based on an enthusiastic review by Matthew Hughes.
Also it’s after 1am here and I should go to bed. Just wanted to read that tab before I closed it, and now I’m all “ooh that sounds good.”
anyways goodnight
We’re home and freshly scrubbed. The critters missed us. All is well.
If I’m using this is a micro-blog type thing, I need to think in single paragraphs more. Anyhow, we needed to decompress so I spent some time puttering on layout here.
My only intentional use of Emacs at the moment is assorted Org mode tools, but even at that level it’d sure help to get more comfortable with it.
Got myself a copy of Mastering Emacs to fill in a few of the gaps between C-h t and wherever I’ve been at for the last few years.
Eight hours of sleep. Such a miracle! Course I think I mentioned we’re staying right in the Fremont Experience, so that required waiting until around 2am to fall asleep.
I’m having some fun despite myself, but I am also very much looking forward to getting home.
Sure would love to figure out beorg configuration enough to make it part of my posting workflow here.
Well I sure won’t be learning all of it during this trip. Maybe after I get home — though the priority drops significantly when I’m in front of my home system.
