06:18 UTC (new) (history) 2015-09-12 A trick with argument for interactive call . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Today’s post will be quite technical, but it might be useful for someone, so I’m sharing what I have learned some time ago. Assume that you are writing a command which should take two parameters. When called interactively, it should ask for both of them in the minibuffer. However (and here the tricky part comes), you want the prompt for the second one to include the first one.

15:40 UTC (new) (history) 2015-09-05 EmacsConf2015 - afterthoughts, and a book project . . . . Marcin Borkowski – So we’re after EmacsConf 2015. The conference was great. The talks were interesting, people were nice, and the IRC discussion was inspiring. (In fact, it inspired me to ad-lib a lightning talk on Emacs Calc.) Also, I decided to announce a certain project.

14:02 UTC (new) (history) 2015-08-28 EmacsConf2015 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Tomorrow, I’m going to take part in an interesting thing: an Emacs conference. It is going to be held in San Francisco; of course, I won’t be able to attend it in person, but I will give a talk remotely. (There will be quite a few remote participants/speakers.) I’m not sure if and how it would be possible to just watch the talks live if you don’t actually take part in the conference, but AFAIK, the videos of the talks will be recorded and published online later.

20:30 UTC (new) (history) 2015-08-22 Beeminder.el . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Last year, I started using a very interesting service. While I’m usually quite skeptical towards various motivational tools (for instance, I once tried org-habits, and it turned out that it didn’t work at all – just seeing the continuous string of asterisks seems to be not motivating enough for me…), I have to admit that I found this one to be surprisingly effective.
