16:40 UTC (new) (history) 2017-11-27 Org-mode radio targets . . . . Marcin Borkowski – One of the interesting features of Org-mode is hyperlinks. For some documents, having many internal links makes a lot of sense. One of these types is mathematical papers: you often want to refer to “Theorem 2.1” or “Definition 3” or “equation (5)”. LaTeX has that pretty much solved (even core LaTeX, and then there are packages to help, like cleveref). Org-mode does not improve a lot on that, but it’s usually enough anyway. But it’s not the topic of my post today.

12:30 UTC (new) (history) 2017-11-19 How to trip up yourself using Git . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Everyone and their mother seem to be using Git these days. And I have to admit that it is really a clever piece of code. However, sometimes it may not work like you want it to do. Let me share a personal story.

13:07 UTC (new) (history) 2017-11-12 My email workflow – an addendum . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I wrote about my email capturing workflow. After I’ve written that text, I noticed that my command does not work well when launched in message mode (as opposed to the headers view mode). I tried to debug this problem, but to no avail. Until yesterday.

18:01 UTC (new) (history) 2017-11-06 Keyboard macros and asynchronicity . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I wanted to send a bunch of emails from mu4e. I had all the data in a csv file, so I figured out that I’ll just record a keyboard macro of myself sending the email and press f4 a few times. Well, it didn’t work.

18:59 UTC (new) (history) 2017-10-30 Pdf-tools and follow mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Today I discovered an extremely cool feature of pdf-tools. Assume that you have a pdf file with annotations (that is, those funny yellow sticky-note-like thingies which show some text when hovered or clicked). Assume that they are done by the editor of a journal you work for, and you have to modify the source LaTeX file accordingly. (This is a rather specialized use, but I think the feature may have more applications.) My previous workflow involved using a mouse (actually, a touchpad, but I hate both with a passion). But there’s a much better way.
