Emacs Resources
The folks over at The Emacs subreddit have posted a very nice list of Emacs resources. They’ve got distributions, tutorials, starter kits, blogs, and references. They’re taking suggestions for additions so let them know if they missed anything important to … Continue reading
A Fast Open for init.el
Like me, Bozhidar Batsov is always fiddling with his init.el file. As a result, he’s devised a way to open it quickly. He wrote a bit of Elisp to load it and bound the Elisp to the simple key sequence … Continue reading
Key-Chord Mode
One of my favorite Emacs Rocks! videos is #7, Mind Exploded, in which Sveen talks about key-chord mode. Right after I saw the video, I loaded key-chord-mode, wrote about it, and have been using it ever since. I’m mentioning it … Continue reading

One of the most useful data structures in Computer Science is the hash table. I’ve been using them for my entire career and have implemented close to a hundred instances in several languages. That’s not as necessary these days as … Continue reading

Lexical Binding in Emacs Video
If you’re still confused about the difference between dynamic and lexical scoping in Emacs, Nic Ferrier has an excellent video that explains it with a couple of simple examples. You may find it useful to review the meaning of closure … Continue reading
Org Mode Summary
I recently saw this Org-mode summary from the Linux Journal mentioned in a tweet. It’s pretty old—from 2007—but still serves as a useful introduction to some of Org-mode’s power. If you’ve never used Org-mode, this article will give you a … Continue reading
DRM-Free Day
Today is DRM-free day. To celebrate O’Reilly is offering 50% off on their entire ebook inventory1. I used the occasion to pick up a copy of Writing GNU Emacs Extensions. If you have any O’Reilly books on your “to purchase” … Continue reading
