As a person who has some sort of Imposter Syndrome going on (never checked, good idea?), I constantly doubt myself, especially when asked for advice or guidance.
One of the things I’m learning to internalize: everyone asks questions and searches the internet. Asking “dumb” questions is critical.
Rediscovering org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift: if you have regular meetings, this is the function for you.
Create a Meeting event with everything you need (Zoom links, place for notes, tags, etc) and clone it X number of times. Emacs will ask you for the frequency. You now have X meetings ready.
I was looking up videos of Kubuntu Vs. Linux Mint last night (as one does), and ended up watching Hank Green’s video about Wikipedia.
The guy doesn’t need any introduction to his passionate videos, and neither does Wikipedia. But, he made me rejoin Wikipedia and add my first edit in a long time.
It’s good to remind myself that even though I live in one of the biggest cities in the world, I can still take a walk in the woods. 📷
It is a nice day and I will go on a walk. I will see some trees and get some sun. I will grump about tech later. Day’s short.
I don’t understand what goes in Kim’s head in Better Call Saul S5E6, Wexler v. Goodman 📺 at the end of the episode. I don’t usually care for shows that portray romantic relationships, but the dynamic between Jimmy and Kim has kept me on my toes for a while, it feels way more organic to me.
Breakfast from earlier. Oats, strawberries, almonds, and some golden raisins for sweetnes. Trying out somw new-old photo apps I haven’t used it a while.
Sometimes I power up Hedwig, my Pop OS linux, and I have the itch to wipe it and start fresh with Linux Mint. I always loved Linux Mint. Pop OS is OK, but it’s a bit behind, and I miss the Cinammon desktop - maybe I even want to try Plasma again.
Handling project in Emacs - the 2025 version
After I stopped using iCloud for my org-file, I realized I also need to change my org-mode ways a little. I simplified things and got rid of scheduled tasks completely. Will it hold? We shall see.
I figured out the attachment linking issues in Plain Org - it’s not the path (it was the same) but the way the app renders images inside a logbook in emacs (or I guess maybe a “drawer”) - it just doesn’t. Once the image link is out of the drawer, it works fine.
OK, it’s time to start writing something a bit less cryptic and more detailed about my recent Emacs changes…
