Emacs vent

I know I’m grumpy this morning, but I think I’m getting tired of Emacs. Every time something doesn’t work, you have to dig in and find the one comma you fat-fingered last night or whatever, and sometimes you just don’t have the time and energy for that.

The problem is, because it’s such a huge part of my workflow, I can’t just let it go and deal with it later when I have the time. When something breaks, it’s like someone just tied my arm behind my back, and there’s a good chance I’ll have extra work later.

I don’t know. Just feel a bit lost about this whole thing.

After not sleeping well a second night, nothing is better than the nice calming noise of a leaf blower 🤪

I’ve had the MacBook Pro M2 for about two months now, connected to power 24/7, with an external screen, keyboard and mouse.

I was worried it will kill the battery, but then I found out it has a battery saving mode.

Today I worked remote for an hour and a half. I thought it will go down from 80% to like 60%, 65% if I’m lucky.

It didn’t go lower than 77%. The Mac used 3% of it’s battery (at 80% when I left home) for 1.5 hours of work. I’m very impressed.

Dutch Baby Bakery: checking out a new place in the neighborhood to work from. Good stuff here. dutch_bake.jpgA three-slice Avocad toast with sprouts and reddish. Some hot suace is springled on top.

People here who record and edit podcasts, what apps do you use? What is your generic workflow?

I haven’t lookeded at my photos in too long. At some point after returning from the last vacation I decided most of the pictures I took were crappy and hadn’t really bothered since. Maybe my Italy trip is to blame when I took some amazing shots.

Today’s been interesting getting location check-ins (through Swarm) to show up on Micro.blog. I think this is yet another obvious area of microblogging. Parks, coffee shops, general interesting places… Why not share a map with people 🙂
