Marcin Borkowski – I often run my org-agenda in the morning only to see a task I completed yesterday marked as TODO (but forgotten to be marked as DONE). Often I don’t care about the exact date I completed the task, but sometimes I do, and then org-todo-yesterday comes into play.

Marcin Borkowski – Sometimes I need to transfer some text (a link, a short note or something else) from my computer to my phone. A usual way is to send it via some cloud-based service – but I don’t really like it, since there is no such thing as cloud – only other people’s computers. While I am not rigorously opposed to such an idea, I do not like putting my personal stuff on somebody else’s machine without any good reason. Another way is to email the thing – but I do not have an email client configured on my phone, and I really want it to stay that way. (I consider email to be a crucial part of my privacy/security. Having it on my phone puts me at significant risk – phones like to be stolen or lost, for instance.) A few days ago, an idea of using QR codes came to my mind.

Marcin Borkowski – It is not uncommon to issue some command to Emacs and find oneself in the minibuffer with the need to insert the name of the current file. A typical example would be firing M-! (shell-command) and realizing that we need to gice the name of the currently visited file as the argument to some command.

• 08:21 UTC (new) (history) 2019-02-10 Making recover-this-file messages more prominent . . . . Marcin Borkowski – When I start my Emacs, I visit all my agenda files automatically (of course, I set up the org-agenda-files variable first). This has an annoying side effect.
