New Theme
It's the first day of vacation, and as such the perfect time to finish yet another blog-move (more a move back in this case) with a theme change.
My EMMS Dired-Player Transient
Transients seemingly are all the rage recently and I have built a few myself once I realized that Transient is built-in already, thus doesn't need any additional packages. The recently released CASUAL DIRED package inspired me to share my EMMS-DIRED-PLAYER transient that I have built a while ago.
Weeknotes 2024 #05
A few, exceptionally busy weeks later it is time for yet another not-all-weekly-weeknote-post. Just as it should be. Yes, it's been a while and I had to go through my journal files to get an overview...
The Stupid Amount of Time
TL,DR: In which I predict the future, make fun of myself and save time, annoyance and money in the process.
Weeknotes 2024 #4
And it's time for another monthly weeknote post. I really should come up with a better title for these.
Emacs find of the day: M-X
I was supposed to do some actual work, but rather chose to set up a custom-key-map, as one does as it is weekend. In the process I learned about a hither unknown command to me, tied to . And yes, it's...
A small, but useful org-agenda tweak
For the longest time it bothered me, that jumping from a task in the agenda to the entry in my todo.org file, always shows me the todo in context with all other task around it. I only want to see THE...
Musescore AppImage sound issues on Fedora 39
I was just about to start writing an arrangement in Musescore 4.2 when sound-output stopped working in the application, thus rendering all attempts of getting some work done in vain. It doesn't need mentioning, but starting to work on a Sunday morning before 7 o'clock implies a certain sense of urgency. In fact the arrangement preferably has to be done today!
Weeknotes 2024 #3
Whoa, again the weeks fly by and I guess that I am again way behind my own schedule (no I have no expectation that anyone waits for these posts to drop, but still) so let's just jump right in. The Blo...
Weeknotes 2024 #2
The vacation is over and the first week had been as busy as usual. In fact, in hindsight it doesn't even feel like a week - more like a month's worth of stuff and vacation is nothing but a distant mem...
The Books I Read in 2023
For some reason the year 2023 hasn't been the best year for reading and it took me quite some time to get started and get into the flow. Eventually I managed, but it took some took some time. That being said I managed to finish some books at the least.
I hate that I can't decide on anything...
Seriously, the moment there are two (or more) options available I am unable to decide which one to use. In the past there had been text-editors, note-taking-apps, mono-spaced fonts, blogging-platforms...
Feedbin again
I stopped using Feedbin maybe two years ago, and for whatever reason it came back on my radar the other day. I decided to give it a go again and quickly wondered why I stopped using it in the first pl...
I was supposed to work
...so ended up updating the blog's theme and fonts. Staying away from the laptop for the vacation obviously payed its toll. ✅ implemented spiffy new font (Shantell Sans) ✅ implemented Everforest colou...
