08:04 UTC (new) (history) 2024-06-08 Managing Firefox tabs from command line with brotab . . . . mbork – It’s a real shame that you can’t drive Firefox from command line. (In fact, I already complained about it on this very blog.) In an ideal world, you could say firefox --eval '...' and put some (possibly) JavaScript code there to do stuff like navigate to a page, get the URL of the current page, get the list of open tabs etc.

19:14 UTC (new) (history) 2024-06-03 Symlinks to directories . . . . mbork – It’s been a long time since I knew that symlinks to directories are tricky. Recently I decided to look into it more closely and learn once and for all what is going on with them. Here is what I learned.

14:56 UTC (new) (history) 2024-05-27 Git mailmap file . . . . mbork – As everybody knows, Git has a lot of obscure commands and options. Today I’d like to write about one of them (which incidentally I mentioned two weeks ago). You can put a file named .mailmap at the top level of your Git repository, and have various names and/or email addresses mapped to a “canonical” names and addresses.
14:52 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2022-01-17 Making code snippets in Org-mode easier to type . . . . mbork – That's a great question. I have no idea, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that customizing {{{org-emphasis-alist}}} is a bad idea, since . . .

17:21 UTC (new) (history) 2024-05-20 Org-clockify . . . . mbork – A long time ago I mentioned that we use Toggl in the company I work for. Being the (sole) Emacs user in the company, I (of course) use Org mode clocking features, so I wrote a simple integration for Toggl. In the last few weeks, I played around with another time-tracking tool, Clockify. (Don’t get me started on the name, which is horrible to search for.) Of course, again I decided that I need to bridge the gap between Org mode and Clockify, and a simple global minor mode was born. It is rather bare-bones, but this is exactly what I needed. Feel free to expand it if your needs are greater.
