  • 19:02 UTC (new) (history) 2023-04-22 Org mode clock table for the last week . . . . mbork Some time ago I mentioned that I started doing “weekly reviews” of what I have done last week and what I am going in the next week. One part of my weekly reviews is checking how much time I spent doing various things last week. Of course, Org mode clock tables are an excellent tool for that. There is one caveat, though. What does “a week” mean? It turns out that it is not obvious at all. The main problem here is the :wstart parameter, telling what day is the first day of the week.

  • 18:42 UTC (new) (history) 2023-04-15 Downcasing word at point in the whole buffer . . . . mbork Some time ago, one of the members of the Emacs-humanities mailing list mentioned a very specific problem. He wants to be able to replace all occurrences of the word at point with its upercase (or lowercase) variant. This is one of these things that can be solved with a bit of custom Elisp. Being a big fan of writing small (or sometimes not so small) helper functions to make editing easier, I offered to do a bit of coding to accomplish this task, and here it is. Being a teacher, I’d like to provide at least a short explanation, too. (Most of you probably know that I spent quite some time in 2021 doing exactly this – coding Elisp and explaining it – and the result is my book Hacking your way around in Emacs, designed as a “next step” after Robert J. Chassell’s excellent An introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp. Check out Chassell’s book if you are interested in learning Elisp, and then my book if you ant to go further!)

  • 04:39 UTC (new) (history) 2023-04-09 Easter 2023 . . . . mbork So, another year has passed since I last wrote about Easter. It would seem that it’s monotonous, but it isn’t – life brings so many unexpected things that I am surprised every day. I am extremely thankful for quite a few things in the last year, but all this pales in comparison to one Event – Christ’s resurrection. If not for that, everything else – every kind person I encountered, every nice surprise I had, every achievement, every pleasure – all that would mean nothing. If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ cannot have been raised either, and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is without substance, and so is your faith (1 Corinthians 15:14). Good thing is that it’s all true! All that is not to say that last year was without issues. With war going on in neighboring country and plenty of personal problems I can’t say that life is ideal. But it does not negate the fact that I have a lot to be thankful for! Christ has risen, rejoice! And as the tradition goes, be assured that I will offer a decade of Rosary for all my readers here.
