Emacs Writing Machine

I like writing. Really. However, I have problem finishing my drafts. As you might be able to read in my OKRs, I mentioned multiple times that I have quite a lot of blog drafts that I haven’t completed. I don’t want to blame anyone and it’s completely my fault: I have problem focusing on a task. I have an attention problem. In the past, I could blame things like Twitter for distracting me from…

Fixing a sore point of ESS: `ess-indent-with-fancy-comments`

In a previous post, I mentioned a bug-ish thing of Emacs Speaks statistics (ESS) of flymake integration.

Miscellaneous talk #45 Quarto guy, Overleaf’s markdown mode?, Flymake, Mailing lists, CRAN

Well, now I am the “Quarto guy” in my work place, thanks to the decision made by the previous Quarto guy, who has left. And therefore, I will need to deliver workshops to my colleagues on how to use Quarto. For the workshop, I thought it would be nice not to teach it like a regular course, which one has to create a document from the beginning. Instead, it would be better to start from a document…

The tool situation 2023 Q4: shell, dirvish, expand-region, iPhone SE

The original idea was to just give a follow up to all those “Advent of emacs” (aoe) posts an update and say whether I am still using emacs the way described in those posts. But actually I have accumulated quite a bit of posts about tools (all tools, not just emacs). I think it would be nice to review the tool situation regularly.

How I prepare ICA papers (version 2023): emacs, overleaf, literate programming

The ICA writing season is now behind me. I can write about how I write my ICA papers, again. Previously, I wrote about how I prepare ICA papers in 2021. In that post, I said I wrote my ICA papers in RMarkdown over trackdown. Basically, putting the RMarkdown source code on Google Doc.

On i3(WM)

This is a relatively quick one, again on the topic of tiling window managers.

On Sway(WM)

In order to understand the context of this blog post, I recommend reading the previous blog on StumpWM, AwesomeWM, and xmonad. But a quick summary is that I need a window manager that can only do two things: (1) can use strange emacs-style key combinations, e.g. C-. b and (2) can do run-or-raise (run a software if it is not running; raise that software to my attention otherwise). I actually don’t…

Advent of emacs #25: How I write a postscript in emacs

Bob’s your uncle, I’ve finally done it! On Nov 31, I thought, um… writing 25 blog posts about emacs, how hard can it be?

Advent of emacs #24: How I approach emacs

He’s the one, who likes all our pretty songs. And he likes to sing along. And he likes to shoot his gun. But he knows not what it means, knows not what it means
