I use Emacs to do some basic audio/video editing. https://github.com/sachac/subed-record I can cut, rearrange, or mute audio using subtitles or timespans. I can combine the audio w…

https://github.com/tarsius/elisp-maintainers and https://github.com/freetonik/support-emacs-community-devs list quite a few people, so you can support them directly.

I took Disqus out of my blog back in March. I'd been meaning to do that for a while. Disqus had started to feel quite icky. I exported 18 years of comments from Disqus and wrote a …

Thanks! =)

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsCoaching lists a number of people who provide Emacs consulting for a fee.

Final Linode invoice came in, so it's USD 62.54+tax for December, so a total of USD 175.65+tax for the hosting costs for the year. Worth it!

Oh yeah, I briefly tried to get BBB working in Docker and ran into lots of issues before deciding it was worth just paying for another server instance where I could run it all by i…

I remember that last year's talk on Emacsen included Lem and it was well-received. https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsen/ I hope Lem continues to grow!

Oh, do you mean like the domain name registration? That's also pretty small. I think it was, like, 12 USD, but I don't have the exact cost handy at the moment. We've been experimen…

I dipped into NeovimConf since I like learning from other conferences and other editors. People's workflow videos are always cool. The Emacs community merrily assimilates lots of g…

Awwwww, thanks! =) You know how it is... It's fun to write Emacs Lisp to automate things, smoothen my workflow, reduce the risk of mistakes. 15 minutes here, 5 minutes there... Mic…

This year we got to have a cluster of talks that were about not-entirely-Emacs things, and last year we had one about Lem too ( https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsen/ ). We've f…

I use ledger-cli as my double-entry accounting system. It's been really helpful to have an Org file with literate programming blocks for the kinds of reports I regularly run and th…

As one of the EmacsConf organizers, I'm particularly fond of talks that explore how people use Emacs outside the standard software dev stuff, although I'm also keen on talks that d…

Noorah's talk ( https://emacsconf.org/2020/talks/17/ , also recommended elsewhere in this thread) is a good one to look at. You might also like https://www.rousette.org.uk/tags/ema…

I used to play Nethack within Emacs using nethack-el. It was really useful being able to bind a shortcut to something that could copy the map and append it to a text file with a no…

You might like the videos from last year's conference too, then! =) https://emacsconf.org/2019/talks/

I made a bold version and changed my site to use it. Does that work for you? I'm still in the middle of kerning it. Pretty fun with Org Mode. :D

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Here, get it from https://sachachua.com/sharing/pdfs/2014-02-14%20A%20No-Excus... instead. Thanks for letting me know!

No worries! It's always good to have a healthy dose of skepticism on the Net.

Hahaha, I'm only just now emerging from the fog of raising a small child. She keeps telling me not to stay up late at night, I keep staying up at night because I want to do stuff..…

That's pretty cool! I think that would be fun to try out. Thanks for digging that up!

Ooh, another comment in this thread linked to something about cycling through alternate glyphs, which would work for the na na na case! I think that might work.

It was really nice being able to break the program down into steps like generate the template, cut glyphs, etc. and be able to execute parts without worrying about how to reevaluat…

Totally. I felt that generating and processing my own template with reference fonts and a custom letter order was an excellent reason to learn more Python, though!
