✓ Solved. How to make one #emacs #Transient command out of a bunch have different exit (color) behavior? https://orys.us/uS

Upgrading the PHP version on my sites broke my URL shortener. Rather than reverting, I finally did what it has been bugging me about for years and upgraded the system. Now I am back to being able to take a url string in #emacs and, with one keystroke, convert it into a #ShortUrl off one of my domains, which I can then check stats to see how much my link was visited. Of course, as soon as I finished the upgrade it was telling me, "There's a newer version available."

I just made my first #emacs #orgmode file attachment. I attached the to-be-printed eventbrite tickets to an event occurring in a few weeks. That looks handy!

For a while I wondered how to change my #emacs modeline in a destructive function call; then I rethought the situation, read the code, and just turned off the destructive behavior. Ah, the glory of #OpenSource!

#emacs #orgmode org-agenda-fortnight-view. When did this happen!? It so happens that some of my schedule makes more sense that way, though.

I just recently discovered #emacs #Gnus `gnus-summary-next-unread-article`, default to `N` and hops from the end of one mail group (like my webdev email) to the next unread in any other group. Great addition to my #email workflow!

It's a beauty of open source #emacs that I thought, "with my three streens and multiple emacs windows per frame, it would be great to blink the modeline which one has received my focus." A short function later and boom; done!

Just opened a second #emacs #frame from within a sub-process, letting me open that other potentially freezing process without starting a third emacs process in my #exwm

I've never been so proud of #EWW #emacs #TextBrowser

Finalizing a project, #emacs with #dired and #kmacros was the right tool for bulk replacing per-file CSS https://orys.us/uL

One power of the #emacs Personal Development Environment (#PDE): the ability to jump to my notes files from any place in my work. https://orys.us/uG

Time is NOT simple. #Emacs #orgmode has made assumptions succesfully for 20+ years, but in today's age, timezones make it tough. How tough? Check out the detailed, non-toxic discussion going on right now. https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=emacs-orgmode%40gnu.org&q=date:20230114&o=newest

I thought that I needed an emacs sub-process to run Telega without it freezing my #emacs #exwm. Turns out I just neeeded a fast internet connection; now that I have true broad-band it works out (after a 30-60 second initialization freeze, which it does in a sub-process, too). Elfeed still seems to choke things down if I don't have it in a subprocess, though. Running "refresh" makes some kind of unescaping loop in the main process.

The "dragon" application (think drag-on) is super handy for #emacs #exwm and probably was made for tiling window managers like iw3m. Go from dired to, eg, Google Drive drag-and-drop. Don't mind the Google Drive view error (I dunno what caused that). https://orys.us/uC

I use the excellent #emacs #Telegram app; then it's easy to open a given link in a text-browser is pretty nice for avoiding annoying ads (could also use Spray mode to speed read it, if I want, instead of the two-pane reading view). #FollowMode #W3M

#emacs

Gotta say, this is pretty cool. Finally some nice #json viewing in #emacs! https://github.com/iwahbe/jsonian

I have never viewed epub before os thought I would try it. Because of dependencies and non-github repos, the #emacs #straight.el install had a few more steps. https://orys.us/uw

Or, you know, #dired in #emacs

Coming across another "#vscode vs #emacs" thread, I just have to ask, how is vscode at doing email? How about RSS feeds? Spreadsheets? Daily agendas? Because emacs is very, very good at those...
