I like it, when I see the intentions of a code author, and i like to see it written down in remark lines. Why didn't someone do that with the world. It would be far easier to understand. So I started to document my world wherever I see the need to do so. In text. With Emacs Org mode. I want to share this world with you.

Today, 10 years ago, I had my first encounter with Emacs, and that day definitely changed the way I work with computers—if not my entire life. I remember that day so clearly because it was the day after the very first meeting of the "Warpzonista Coding Club." At that time, the Warpzone was my local hackerspace, and...
In October, as the days grow shorter and the air turns sharper, many people naturally shift their focus from the creative energy of summer to the quieter work of maintenance. It’s the season of clearing gutters, deep-cleaning corners of the house that have been ignored, and tending to the small repairs that keep...

Whether they’re called bookmarks, favorites, or weblinks, we all accumulate a large number of them over time. At some point, it all becomes overwhelming and needs organizing. So, I wrote a Python tool for that. What Has Happened So Far New weblinks always originate from my browser. whether it's Firefox on my desktop...

I am currently organizing a visit to a major festival, with over 175 bands playing over 4 days at around a dozen different venues scattered across the city. It's quite a logistical challenge. Which bands do I want to see, and do they play with enough time in between to get from Location A to Hall B? So, I copied all...

Whoever has already looked through my projects will find that there is a project Medusa that I have set up for myself. In Emacs, there are functions that I only need very rarely, and then I often don't have the necessary command in mind. It is then quite helpful to have a hydra for this situation, and the project...
