On Finding a To-Do Setup That Works
2023-05-22
How many to-do apps have you already tried? All of them? Did you find one that “works” for you? No? Well, you’re certainly not alone. The Endless Search I tried a fair share of apps and setups but all of them seemed to fail sooner or later. Whether it was a plain paper notebook I kept in my pockets, a custom Emacs Org-Mode setup or some apps like Nextcloud Tasks, Trello or Todoist.
Publishing my Emacs Configuration using Gitea Actions
2023-04-02
About a year ago I already wrote a few blog posts about publishing my Emacs configuration, lastly using a GitLab pipeline. This worked quite fine since back then and I had zero problems or issues with the pipeline. Although I’m using the GitLab CI feature for this I don’t use GitLab for hosting the repository. My dot-emacs-repository over there is just a mirror, the main one is in my personal Gitea instance.
Another Update on Publishing my Emacs Configuration
2022-02-20
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how I experimented with publishing my Emacs configuration (which is written in Org) using org-publish. Kashual Modi, the creator of ox-hugo, replied to me and asked me if I thought about publishing the configuration using ox-hugo. I didn’t! And it turned out that it was done by just adding three lines at the top of my Emacs configuration file as I wrote in a follow-up post a few days later.
Why I failed using Org-mode for tasks
2022-02-14
I started using Emacs back in 2016 and shortly after that I discovered Org-mode a little while after (I don’t know the exact date but I have tasks in my archive going back to 2018 and I know that I used it some time without the archiving functionality). For some time my bio on Fosstodon even contained the line „couldn’t survive without Org-mode“ and yet, since two months I haven’t used it.
Publishing my Website using GitLab CI Pipelines
2022-02-08
I wrote some posts recently, like “Update on Publishing my Emacs Configuration”, where I mention that my current workflow of deploying changes to my website can be improved. Well, I could always improve it, but this is one of the more urgent things. The Status Quo Currently after I writing some blog post or changing a page I export it by calling the relevant ox-hugo exporter using the Org export dispatcher.
My Emacs package of the week: org-appear
2022-02-05
It may be a little boring for some, but the second post in my “My Emacs package of the week” series is again about an Org-mode package (well, if you follow my blog you shoudn’t be surprised). I use org mode a lot (though I used to use it more (a blog post about this is coming soonish)) and so from time to time I notice some things that I would like to be a little bit different or I stumble upon packages (either because I see someone else using it, by browsing some social networks or by reading my RSS feed, e.
Update on Publishing my Emacs Configuration
2022-02-02
After posting my last blog article about publishing my Emacs configuration on Fosstodon, Kaushal Modi (the maintainer of ox-hugo the org mode to hugo exporter that I use for my Blog) wrote me and brought the idea up to publish my Emacs configuration using ox-hugo and hugo. I didn’t even think about that and so the same evening I tried it. If you’ve read my previous blog post you know the amount of code and work that is necessary to get org-publish running, with ox-hugo I need to add the following three lines on top of my config.
Publishing My Emacs Configuration
2022-01-30
Introduction As you may know, I’m using Emacs for various task and I have a configuration for doing so. I think that documentation is an important part of a configuration, especially if it is not something I read or work with every day and I want to read up on certain things and decisions after a long time. That’s why I chose to write my Emacs configuration using literate programming by using Org Babel.
Update on my Org-roam web viewer
2022-01-27
About one and a half weeks ago I announced that I’m going to start a new (code) project for viewing my Org-roam files over the web (especially on mobile devices). Since then surprisingly much happened and so I want to give a short status update. First of all I chose a working title for the software: brainengine. However, I’m not quite sure why. Especially the engine part since it doesn’t power anything.
My Emacs package of the week: orgit
2022-01-21
As you may now I joined the 100 Days To Offload challenge and therefore need some content. Since it seems that I always write about stuff that is more or less connected with Emacs anyway I though I could start a series called “My Emacs package of the week” where I present some package I stumbled upon recently or I used for quite some time but is interesting enough to show.
