• 21:52 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-11 Drawing is easy . . . . Marcin Borkowski – As could be expected, getting back with a fresh mind on the next morning is a good advice. I can now draw a line on the screen – whee-hee! (See the GitHub repo for the code, though it’s really nothing special and still a bit of a mess.) The less fun part is, I have honestly no idea how I could learn this using the docs/tutorials. What did I do wrong?

• 21:53 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-10 Drawing is hard . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I really wanted to write about my success with drawing something today. Nope. I give up. Not entirely, of course, but for today. I tried to actually draw a line on an ImageView, and after an hour or so I decided that enough is enough.

• 21:31 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-08 Let’s start fun – basic layout . . . . Marcin Borkowski – OK, so I finally started. Since I was terribly procrastinating with actually doing anything with this project (and not because of the fear of success, I’m afraid), I decided to start easy: with the layout.

• 20:19 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-03 About the Logeox project . . . . Marcin Borkowski – OK, so let me introduce my project. After some time spent on thinking an googling, I decided to call it Logeox. I know, I know, it is a bad name, and you don’t write multimillion dollar apps with such lousy names. Whatever. Naming things is hard.

• 21:05 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-02 Make yourself known – a few thoughts . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I wanted to introduce my project today, but this will wait until tomorrow (well, you can go to GitHub to learn what it is about in a few words anyway). I decided to write one more “soft” (and short) post about my general opinion about the contest and my approach to it.

• 06:23 UTC (new) (history) 2016-02-27 Make Yourself Known – introduction . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, I decided to take part in an interesting endeavor. A friend of mine shared a link to a blog (in Polish) by a guy called Maciej Aniserowicz, who announced a contest for a programming blog. The contest is called “Daj się poznać” (“Make yourself known”), and seems to be a nice way to motivate oneself to learn something new.

• 06:34 UTC (new) (history) 2016-02-20 Iedit mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – A week ago, I mentioned Iedit mode. This is a real gem. It’s not part of Emacs, but you can install it from Elpa, and you won’t regret it.

• 19:49 UTC (new) (history) 2016-02-13 Looking for keywords . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Assume that you want to look through some buffer – say, a log file or something – and you are especially interested in some keyword, say foo. The simplest way is to use isearch: you press C-s foo and repeatedly press C-s and/or C-r to jump from one occurrence to another. One problem with this approach is that isearch is kind of volatile: you exit isearch, and bam!, the keyword is no longer highlighted. This might or might not be what you want. If not, the next thing is...
