In October, as the days grow shorter and the air turns sharper, many people naturally shift their focus from the creative energy of summer to the quieter work of maintenance. It’s the season of clearing gutters, deep-cleaning corners of...
Whether they’re called bookmarks, favorites, or weblinks, we all accumulate a large number of them over time. At some point, it all becomes overwhelming and needs organizing. So, I wrote a Python tool for that. What Has Happened So Far...
Today, 10 years ago, I had my first encounter with Emacs, and that day definitely changed the way I work with computers—if not my entire life. I remember that day so clearly because it was the day after the very first meeting of the...

Whoever has already looked through my projects will find that there is a project Medusa that I have set up for myself. In Emacs, there are functions that I only need very rarely, and then I often don't have the necessary command in mind....
Apparently, there are a lot of Emacs purists in the world who, over the years, have learned to type such complex key sequences as C-x r t M-. C-c C-p fluently. I'm not one of them. And when I tried to figure out how to customize it for...
In Emacs, there are several ways to generate neat prints. Most of them end up creating PDFs. But if you just want to quickly have a printout of the buffer to work with a pencil and highlighter, that can sometimes be a problem. I spent an...
