Emacs on Jiewawa's blog

I previously wrote about useful Emacs commands for reading.

It’s been nearly a year since the last time I wrote one of these and I am still working through the backlog.

In my 20 years of studying Chinese, I have tried countless tools for helping me learn efficiently.

For the last few years, I have been using Emacs for almost all of my daily computing needs.

Since I started using Emacs, I’ve written hundreds of functions that I only used once and then were left to rot in the depths of my init.el.

It’s been over a year since I wrote about the first ten Chinese books I read, so I think it’s time for an update.

I was browsing Planet Emacslife yesterday when I came across Anand Tamariya’s post Mozilla Readability in GNU Emacs.

⚠️ Warning!

For several years now, I have been using the method that Pavel Korytov describes in this post to gain a consistent set of keybindings between Emacs and Sway.

I want to get back into the habit of posting on my blog, and I thought a simple post like this would be good in terms of getting me back on track.

Recently, I have been wanting to include more images within the notes that I take in Emacs org-mode.

I have been studying Chinese for over 15 years now, but it was only in the last year that I started reading Chinese books.

Earlier this year, I read several interesting posts on Chinese Forums in which users recorded their Chinese speed.

I have made it clear that I am a big fan of Mastodon and the wider fediverse.

I said that I wanted to read eight books in the first three months of 2022, and I did manage to finish eight.

Background The first time I wrote a CV, it was in Microsoft word.

2021 was the year in which I became a reader.

A new season of the Premier League is nearly upon us with the first match of the season between Brentford and Arsenal kicking off this Friday evening.

We’re half way through the year now, so I think it is as good as time as any to reflect upon the goals that I set for myself in 2021.

When we talk about new social media platforms, people may often refer to them as “Facebook Killers” or “Twitter Slayers”.

New Year, New Me As the year draws to a close, it’s once again time for everyone to consider what changes they want to make in their lives.
