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.

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 🙂
