PDF-Tools: Setup and Annotation
I installed PDF-tools a few months ago and really like it. Their site has warnings about using it with macOS but the installation on a Mac is easy and it works perfectly. Recently, I have seen two posts that address … Continue reading
Good News for Mu4e Users
DJCB (Dirk-Jan C. Binnema) has announced the release of mu/mu4e version 1.0-alpha0. The NEWS file hasn’t been updated yet so it’s hard to tell what’s changed except by looking at the commit log. I really, really love mu4e for handling … Continue reading
Howard Abrams on Eshell
Howard Abrams has another excellent video up. This one, given to The London Emacs User’s Group, is on eshell. Like me, Abrams has moved as much shell work as possible into eshell. Unlike me, he’s learned how to take maximum … Continue reading
Technical Problems with Today’s Post
Today’s post featured a Kontra tweet but when I published it, the tweet didn’t display. The HTML markup for the tweet showed instead. I spent a little time troubleshooting but couldn’t get it to work. Thus, you’ll have to enjoy … Continue reading

I have lots of Org files that collect data and have an embedded code block to generate a summary table. Here are a couple of examples that others may find useful. The first thing to know is that tables are … Continue reading
EXWM
I mentioned the Emacs X Window Manager (WXWM) in a previous post but didn’t say very much about it. Now, Phil Hagelberg has a post in which he explains his use case for EXWM. Like me and many other Emacs … Continue reading
The Unix Philosophy
For many people, the Unix Philosophy is captured by the aphorism, “Programs should do one thing well.” That’s an important part of the Unix philosophy but the actual philosophy is much richer and more subtle. Actually, there’s no formal philosophy … Continue reading
Fraud in Digital Advertising
I’ve written many times (1, 2, 3, 4) about adtech and the associated fraud. The sooner the advertising industry stops tracking us the better it will be for them, the advertisers, and us. A recent BuzzFeed article indicates that the … Continue reading
