As returning readers will know, I produce (or try to produce) regular builds of Emacs for Windows. When things work, these produce pre-compiled binaries as an installer and unpack-and-run zip files. You can find links to the latest set for each branch in the box at the top-left each page on the site. 
 
Today's post is about one program out from the middle of…

Poetry (non-Emacs related)

I updated a simple (but occasional favorite) custom command the other day and it looks like it might be a useful 'simple' example for others. Meanwhile, we are coming right up on the closing of the Call for Proposals period for EmacsConf 2025, so I wanted to shout about that.

Another IRC user, technomancy, created a fork of restclient today after noticing some evals. 
 
Here's the new repository:
 https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/restclient.el 
 
The delta is small, simply guarding these behind options (which can be setup per 'trusted' file/buffer). I'm sure he'd be interested in your further thoughts if you happen to be an IRC user; I'm not sure…
Emacs 29.2 Windows Binaries 
 
Emacs 29.2 binaries for Windows (x64) are available from the GNU FTP Mirror system: 
 
 https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-29/?C=M;O=D

This is a collection of links pulled together from some interesting discussions on Devel related to making Emacs more multi-threaded.

People are always talking about how fast they work, either because Emacs or because Not Emacs. That reminds me of this joke…
Emacs 29 Build Command 

 
TBH, I've been building emacs 'manually' for months. 
 
I have scripts for this, of course. Naturally, they are broken. It turns out not to be all that hard to get me to bail out from fixing (even) my own scripts, and revert to building Emacs by hand. Here's what I ran this evening, to make a new snapshot from the emacs-29 branch:

GNU provides binary releases of Emacs. This post describes how to
follow the process used to make such releases for Windows.

I'm using the README.org as a 'container' to structure simple projects as literate programms . The programs for each project are contained in and built by ( tangled from ) the file that documents them. Meanwhile, I provide documentation in other formats such as Markdown, generated using org-export . 
 
 People sometimes offer edits to those generated files. 
 
 
Naturally,…

Do you ever write regular expressions with 71 capture groups, then
toss them out? A conversation earlier this evening on IRC reminded me
of a thing in want of 'talking' about. If you know a bit about
 dungeon-mode , or aren't that interested in it, you might want to skip
ahead or just grab the tests . 
 
 
So, there's this game..

The Automation Begins 

 
Having decided I should make a blog to chronicle my adventures in
Emacs, I started looking into hugo a minimal blogging framework
written in GO. It turns out that hugo has excellent org integration,
incorporating go-org , which is the same library used by Github.
