Do you know where your .emacs file is? UPDATED
Posted by Greg Laden on December 12, 2012 I just reconfigured my laptop with a new system (a form of Linux) and, almost as important, a new power brick. That second item may be more interesting than it sounds for some of you; I’ll write that up later. This change also meant trashing my emacs configuration file. I didn’t have to trash it,…

Emulating The Terminal Emulators For Fun (with emacs color-theme)
Posted by Greg Laden on September 23, 2011 I have a small laptop that I carry to the coffee shop for writing. It is a bit shaky in the hardware department, very small, and has no functioning wireless. The hard drive is encrypted.

emacs for writers: browsing the kill ring
Posted by Greg Laden on July 19, 2011 The kill ring is the emacs clip board. I admit that I hardly ever use it in the ways for which it is designed, but I probably should. As you “kill” text (i.e., delete) it gets tacked onto the kill ring, from which you can “yank” it later (yes, this is some sort of religious…
emacs for writers: a few tips
Posted by Greg Laden on July 16, 2011 I use word processors like OpenOffice Word as others use page layout software: Only when I want certain control over the final product, want it fast, and don’t demand too much of the product. For regularly produced formatted text I use some version of LaTex, but most of the twentythousandzillion words I write a week…

The One True Editor
