Finally an item that inspires! Listen not to nay-sayers or sourness or cynicism. Thank you for sharing this. For me, it takes a kind of courage to ask questions that you allow to change you.
Re:Emacs and Eev, Or: How to Automate Almost Everything on Saturday August 13, 2022 @02:30AM (#32447435)
wrestled through a video presentaion. How I see it is the author found a way to generate a script that is both notes and commands-in-a-shell that you can execute step by step. e.g. "how to install <xyz>". That way it functions as a sort of knowledge repository, i guess. However, I have a hard time understanding the author as he has a very difficult way of presenting... Despite that, there must be something to learn here, i think. Keeping this on my to-read list.

I liked reading this. For me emacs with orgmode works better. Went from evernote to onenote, to tiddlywiki, mediawiki...to emacs. My handwriting is so unreadable even I cant read it sometimes :-) Plus, I would fear losing the paper notebook..although how often have I irretrievably lost something? Never. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
why would Benjamin Hoff create a website about himself and talk about himself in third person? ... seems weird to this commentator...
