Ironic item of the day: my office is cluttered with books on how to declutter.

A very easy Wordle this morning. This solution along with the one for Connections, which I solved in four guesses, took me less than 2 minutes, although I don't really time myself

I'm going through the Notion Getting Started videos while thinking that Org-mode can do that! Except, Emacs is not drag-n-drop, which, to me, is a good thing. So maybe I'll go through Org-mode tutorials instead.

I wonder if the Wordle curator saw that I was bragging about how easy the puzzle is and so made it much harder

"Phew" is right! There is one other possible word, but it could be considered politically incorrect.

I was a few games shy of beating my 141-game streak and then this. Does anyone else think this game plays them? Anyway, I'm still running a 99% win rate.

I usually guess the word in four tries, or maybe three or five times, but sometimes this happens

I completed Day 18 and Day 19 of , even while tweaking my init file.

I figured out the reason there's no matching quote mode. Unlike with parenthesis (and bracket and brace), source code doesn't use a different character for open quote and close quote. Thus, matching quotes would require a different approach.

I planted the clematis (Guernsey Flute) last week. It's still alive! The idea is to train it up the lamppost. This replaces the one that came with the house, which didn't survive the replacement of the post and of the pump in the well nearby.

Sometimes just one letter makes the difference between a score of 3/6 vs 5/6. I've actually lost in this kind of scenario. I'll admit to be a bit frustrated when this happens.

Pancakes for this special morning. I'll be adding blueberries and walnuts, and making the baking powder from cream of tartar and baking soda. Note that a vegan version is possible by combining flaxseed and water and not using the egg

blink-matching-parens is an awesome Emacs minor mode. But why can't I find something like that for matching quotes? Where are you blink-matching-quotes?

Finally I upgraded to Emacs 30.1. While that fixed the issue, I then got distracted by configuring a brand new init file and eliminating incompatible modes. (Who really needs visual-basic-mode, anyway?) Anyway, I completed Day 11 of !

My sprint turned into a crawl yesterday and today. The python-mode in my Emacs 25.2 couldn't indent match-case blocks properly, and no remedy worked. And yes, I did remember to remove all the python.+.el? files from my computer.

Today I decided to see if has a command line switch that would open a folder of bookmarks. But all I had to do was press F2, enter the first few letters of the Speed Dial nickname and click it. F2 is the default key for Quick Commands:
