This post is a response to My perfect laptop by Michael Harley.

Just a feverish musing.

The Australian government should start a theatre company.

For the last few days I've had an idea bouncing around in my head.

My new job let me choose between a Windows or Mac laptop.

Parsing is a fundamental skill for any programmer.

This is a short response to the blog post titled Human fear in Emacs by Andros Fenollosa, as I believe there is a small correction to be made around the legal matter surrounding LLM contributions to Emacs under the current policy.

For the past few months I've been on and off working on a new package for Emacs, which is my first attempt at a proper major mode "application".

I use org-roam for taking notes, but I also like to have indexes (just org roam nodes that link their contents) that link everything together.

This is my entry for the June 2026 Emacs Carnival Underappreciated Emacs Builtins.

Since a few months ago, ever since the release of the Raylib egg for Chicken Scheme, I've been working on my own game framework built on Raylib.

I haven't been very active on this blog for the last few months.

There are a lot of good Emacs weather plugins, but most of the services they use are not as accurate as the BOM in Australia.

I play a lot of solo tabletop RPGs, mostly for worldbuilding and writing purposes because thinking in the shoes of a person in the world helps you pinpoint what is and isn't ultimately important.

One day in the last few weeks, I had a need to set a couple of timers of different lengths.

Godot already has some support for Emacs with gdscript-mode, but I really dream of being able to control the whole editor from within Emacs directly - never leaving it except maybe for more precise level design.

Not entirely sure if this is already a thing, but here goes.

Along the lines of the August Emacs Carnival, I thought I'd get my notes down on why I personally decided to put effort into learning Emacs.

One of the major boons I've found of using org-roam since my rework of my note taking environment is that I've been finding more ways to get use out of backlinks.

There's a new carnival in town, and I'm joining in.

I've been deep in a solo TTRPG campaign for the last few days, and I want to give a quick shout out to Let's Talk!

I've really started making good use of org-babel recently as part of my job, and org-babel-tangle has been particularly invaluable.

I found out about Harper the other day.

Recently, I've been forced back into using Word for the creation of design documents at my job.

There have been a couple of times in the last few months when I've been asking a question in either a forum or a chat room, and the first (or only) response I get is AI generated.

I don't use projectile, or project.el, or any other project management system in Emacs.

Now that I finally have a git forge set up, with CI/CD, I finally have the environment I need to get off Github.
