No wonder, I hardly ever use TeX anymore – but I still do use it from time to time! A few days ago I needed to draw a diagram of an inclined plane.

Recently, I had a need of running psql interactively but executing some script first. Of course, this can be done from psql itself by saying \i some-script.psql, but let’s assume that I’d prefer for that to happen automatically, so that instead of typing psql at the shell prompt and then \i some-script.psql at the psql prompt I could just say psql-some-script.sh at the shell prompt and be done. The important thing here is that I want to run some-script.psql first and go to the psql prompt next.

• 16:26 UTC (new) (history) 2022-01-24 Journaling with Org-mode . . . . mbork – OK, so let’s admit it. I’ve been journaling with Org-mode for more than 6½ years now. Every day (well, almost every day) I sit down and make notes of important things that happened that day.
