blogmore.el v2.1 I've given blogmore.el a wee bump to v2.1. This release fixes a small problem I noticed today when I tried to use it to edit the tags for a post on my photoblog: the code to find and gather properties from posts didn't handle deeply-nested directory hierarchies for the post markdown files. I should have noticed this when I first wrote the code, but of course I was so busy testing against my primary blog, which only goes one sub-level deep, that I never noticed it wasn't going to work deeper.

blogmore.el v2.0 After kicking off blogmore.el, and then tinkering with it more and more, I've found it really quite helpful while writing posts. One thing I have noticed though -- given I use BlogMore for this blog and my photoblog -- is that I wanted to be able to use the package for working with more than one blog.

Some BlogMore Elisp It's been a moment since I last wrote any Emacs Lisp code, at least anything non-trivial. I've tinkered with my Emacs configuration, I've tweaked the odd personal package here and there, but nothing fresh for ages. I actually can't remember what the last package was that I wrote.

This may be heresy for some, but Claude has significantly improved my Emacs and org config. It provided a nice walk through of different strategies before we landed on an approach.

Not going to lie, the more I learn about #elisp, the more I like #emacs as well, which has been for a while my "almost-everything" application already ^^ - and I'm not even a #developer / #hacker!

Emacs Lisp Elements This book, written by Protesilaos Stavrou, also known as ‘Prot’, provides a big picture view of the Emacs Lisp programming language.

As an excellent writer, I'll recommend this gentle introduction,
Emacs Lisp Elements by Protesilaos Stavrou (aka prot) for learning #emacs #lisp (aka #elisp).

Weird emacs-lispism number I don't know I lose track:

Emacs lisp supports lexical binding, dynamic binding, and even declaring some variables "special" so even in a lexical context they act dynamic.

This, coupled with the way the `let` form works, means you can pull fancy tricks like run a […]

I did a bit of recreational #elisp today and added #cargo support to #hubi, my #transient build interface. I think the extensible approach works pretty nicely even if I'm sure there are some edge cases to work out on other cargo projects […]

A screenshot of the Emacs text editor with a custom dice rolling library. A log buffer of some typical RPG dice rolls with some highlighting of labels and results, and buttons to repeat previous rolls is in the main editing area. At the bottom, the history feature of the interactive roll command is being used to repeat a previous roll with edits.

I'm getting closer to being able to run entire RPG sessions entirely from my text editor. #emacs #elisp #rpg #nerdshit

Hey fedi friends, I used to have some custom keyboard shortcuts in my Magit menus in #Emacs when it used "transient", and now it … doesn't use that, I don't think, and my old #ELisp broke and I do not want to reverse engineer the whole thing, I am just … tired.

#irreal and @bbatsov about #Emacs startup time: https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12903

I, too, am totally convinced that it really doesn't matter if it is one or sixty seconds.

However, if your bootup time is much longer than mine (15-30s once a week) then you most probably have room for improvement […]

For generating rather simple #Elisp functions within #Emacs, #ChatGPT failed in 100% of my use-cases.

Unfortunately, I could not even come up with a fix for those attempts myself either.
