Unloading Emacs Themes
Here at the Irreal bunker, we’re stodgy, like things the way they are, and are not inclined to change things willy-nilly. As far as Emacs is concerned, that manifests itself in the eschewing of themes. The bunker doesn’t really have … Continue reading
🥩 Red Meat Friday: Parenthesis In Lisp
I love Lisp. I think it’s the perfect language for a very wide variety of problems, that it’s powerful, easy to learn, and that it provides the perfect environment for what I call exploratory programming. There are some downsides. One … Continue reading
Elisp To Python Cheatsheat
Irreal has often commented on the work of Charles Choi, most recently on his Casual App Suite. Choi has just published a nice cheatsheet for Python programmers who want to write in Elisp. The idea is to compare the various … Continue reading

James Dyer has a short post on replacing some embark functionality with his own code. He does a nice job and you can check his post for the details but his post again raises the issue of why some users … Continue reading

The Experiences Of A Non-technical Emacs User
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a reddit post that asked what computer/OS people were using. Nuno M. Salgueiro replied that he was not a programmer or even in IT but that he used Emacs at home on … Continue reading
