Keeping A Lab Notebook Webinar
I came across a nice Webinar on keeping a laboratory notebook. It’s from the National Institute of Health and is therefore aimed at medical researchers and the type of labs they work in. Still, there are, I think, valuable lessons … Continue reading
Beginning Emacs Tutorial Video
Derek Banas has posted a nice introduction to Emacs video. It covers roughly the same material as the built-in tutorial with the addition of setting up a Clojure programming environment. Banas covers installing Emacs on both macOS and Windows. One … Continue reading
Magit Log for a File
Here’s a really nice tip from Wilfred Hughes’ Emacs Command of the Day Twitter feed: M-x magit-log-buffer-file: shows all the commits that affected the current file. Great for understanding the history of some code! pic.twitter.com/psiuHb2cQm — Ⓔ Command of the … Continue reading

Recently, I stumbled across a couple of posts about the virtues and superiority of RSS. I was a little surprised because it seems like a no-brainer to me. What’s the competition? Facebook and G+? Those are systems for harvesting your … Continue reading
A Small Swiper Trick
Over at the Emacs reddit, g00eykabl00ey shares a “swiper trick.” He gives an example of the trick where he wants to check the spelling of “Dostoyevsky,” which appears elsewhere in the buffer. To find the previous use—and its correct spelling—he … Continue reading
The NSA and Their Lost Secrets
The New York Times has a damning article on the NSA and its spilled secrets. It goes into depth as to how the Shadow Brokers have disrupted NSA operations and destroyed the morale of its employees. In a sense, nothing … Continue reading
Swapping Windows with Ace-window
By way of background, I need to remind you that I use ace-window for switching between windows. I think of it like ibuffer: it’s so much better than the default command that everyone should configure it automatically when setting up … Continue reading
