04:58 UTC (new) (history) 2020-10-12 Editing subtitles in Emacs with subed . . . . mbork – Some time ago I bought a DVD with one of my favorite movies of all time. (I am not really a movie person, but I like to watch some film once or twice a year.) Unfortunately, the film is only available in English, and I really wanted my daughter (who doesn’t speak it yet) to watch it with me. I set out to translate all the dialog to Polish (which was quite a challenge, and I am proud to say that I managed to do that – better or worse, sometimes perhaps inevitably worse, but still). Now what I need is to prepare subtitles for the film. It turns out that the industry standard is called srt, and – not that it is surprising – Emacs has a suitable mode.

11:16 UTC (new) (history) 2020-10-05 Notifying the user about the start of the track in EMMS . . . . mbork – I bought a new record a few days ago, and of course the first thing I did was converting it to mp3 files. Then I loaded my new music into EMMS and started listening. And then I noticed a problem – minor but annoying.

Sometimes I write them myself, sometimes they are created by an ORM – in either case, they are sometimes pretty long. This means that it would often be nice to have them formatted in a nice way (I mean indentation and line breaks).

10:00 UTC (new) (history) 2020-09-20 A simple trick with Textern and require-final-newline . . . . mbork – I have been using the Textern add-on for Firefox for quite some time now. What it does is it lets you press some key combination while being focused on a textarea element and start editing it in an editor of your choice. Of course, the editor of my choice is Emacs (well actually, Firefox thinks it’s emacsclient, of course). However, there was one thing that annoyed me.
