Emacs -- It's Worth Revealing Oneself For

"...how can people keep up with what you're learning?"1

I've always kept a low profile on the Internet.  It can be a scary place!  But I've been asked to show glimpses of my online work to the people I was meeting in real life.

I agreed to chat with Sacha Chua about Emacs and Life (but not the Universe -- that'll be next time).  Emacs is worth revealing oneself for.  If people really do want to keep up with what I'm learning, they can visit here.

My init file2 shows only a small aspect of how I have Emacs configured.  You'll want to see an example of my org file(s), my diary file, and the Lisp I have tucked away under my home directory.

Aside from Emacs, my workflow relies on Vivaldi and LibreOffice, so I'll try to show what I'm doing with them, as well.  Perhaps I can provide screen recordings, too!

"Sometimes it just takes somebody saying, your stuff is interesting. I'm telling you, your stuff is interesting."3

Thank you, again, Sacha!

  2. I would be honored! But please understand the content here wouldn't only be Emacs -- I'd write about LibreOffice, Vivaldi and other tools that I use.
