I just wanted to pass a file name as a string to an external application. Thats all. Just that. In bash, you could just use a case statement. In rc shell, a switch. But in emacs world, the common convention is to install a massively over engineered super bloated package to do it. Leading me to get pissed off enough to discover 18 lines of elisp in a single autoloaded function is all it takes to replace all of those massively bloated, over-engineered packages.

i cant believe how bad chatgpt is at elisp.

i love seeing Jan 01 in my monitor bar.

May this particular gravitational orbit around Major-body ID 10 be the most amazing gravitational orbit you’ve ever experienced. 🤌❤️

Happy New Arbitrary Solar Orbit Reset! 🙂❤️🎉🥳🎊🍾

the idea that greater access to information = greater understanding and insight is one of the great fallacies of our time

in the past, if you would have told people a nation would arise that defended the rights of the people, and would become so prosperous the average citizen would be fat, they would have laughed at you and asked, “what’s a right?”

i love these interviews. A Greek ex-soccer player turned emacs contributor living off grid in the Cyprus mountains, interviewing people from little towns in other countries. Its so.... not the mainstream internet. Its a window into real people.

if you use orgmode, and your documents are long, check out the consult-org-heading function in the Consult package. Fuzzy finding for all headings in the document. 👍

this has been an incredible year

really feeling God’s presence today.

@jb55 happy new year. may your data pipe be huge, your keyboards last for decades, and the view from your deck give you peace.
