Emacs Carnival: Org Mode Completions

I’m so happy to be joining this month’s emacs carnival! I love the idea behind these carnivals and I think it’s such a good way of building community virtually.

ZSA MoonLander and Voyager

For the past 3 years I have been meaning to do some sort of write-up about my switch to using the ZSA MoonLander keyboard… but I clearly didn’t get to that. As of Christmas, I am now a happy owner of a ZSA Voyager keyboard. Anyways, here is a very in-depth write-up of my use of the MoonLander keyboard and recent switch to using the Voyager. I include a bit about the preparation and thought that…

New Year, New Hobbies

With the new year, I’ve been re-thinking my hobbies. I haven’t done a major re-assessment in a while, and it’s pretty obvious that my interest in regular blog updates has waned. On the one hand, I have a ton of half-done blog posts and half-started emacs side projects. I wish I just had a good way to share them, but posting half-finished drafts just seems… shoddy.

Beautifying the Tab Bar

Emacs 27.1 introduced a tab bar and I finally got around to trying it out. I found it particularly useful for switching between a few buffers quickly, particularly because I have muscle memory for the Safari tab keybindings (which I set for Emacs tabs).

Jekyll Portfolio

So I recently learned that the future of Jekyll is, well, grim. I have quite the history with jekyll, I’ve been creating websites with it since 2012 (most especially this one). To mark the end of my jekyll era, I’ve collected a portfolio of all the sites I’ve developed and contributed to.

Signs the ‘New Normal’ has Returned

At work we have an effort called the ‘return to new normal’ which is an admission that while we are returning to something that looks like pre-pandemic life, everything has changed and what is normal now is entitely different from before.

WIP stands for work in progress.

Gather.Town

It feels like time has officially moved forward and the unending month of March 2020 is over. All it took was attending this year’s ECP Annual Meeting, which corresponds to the last event I attended before lock down. Personally, I find doing anything for the first time to be a struggle… I guess it just took a whole “first” year of working from home to get over the hump.
