Using Babel Video
Rainer Köenig has a new video in his OrgMode tutorial series. This time he takes a brief look at using Babel in Org files. The video is a bit limited because, as Köenig admits, he doesn’t have very many use … Continue reading
Elfeed
Those of you who have been paying attention know that I’ve been threatening to complete my move to (almost) all-things-in-Emacs by switching to elfeed for my RSS feeds. It doesn’t really have a good iOS solution but it is easy … Continue reading
An Easy Way to Download Your Email in Maildir Format
As you all know, I spent considerable time configuring mbsync to download my email in Maildir format so that I could try out mu4e and move one more function into Emacs. It wasn’t, by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever … Continue reading

Irreal has a large corpus on the problems with cursive handwriting (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) but I haven’t written about it for a while. I was going through my queue of unpublished blog ideas and … Continue reading
I Stand Corrected…
Last Week I wrote that I’d finally gotten mu4e working and that after I moved to elfeed, I would have everything except browsing and iMessage running under Emacs. I remarked that I didn’t expect to have iMessage or a (full-featured) … Continue reading
Fire Adtech
Irreal readers who have been around for a while know of my deep and abiding hatred for adtech, a term used here to mean the technology that advertisers use to spy on and track Web users. I’ve written before that … Continue reading
