Microblog! · @Jason’s Microblog!

The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders
The winter’s light feels different on my skin
[…]
Distill a whole year down into a day
Act like we all start over with a pristine slate

But to get yourself a new life,
you’ve got to give the other one away

And I’m starting to believe,
in the power of a name
Cause it can’t be a mistake,
if I just call it change

#TIL: with #Emacs #OrgMode

I wanted to expand all my entries in my Org file, to see how large it had gotten, so I looked up how to do it.

To expand all tabs (org-show-all)
C-u C-u Tab

To close tabs to the startup visibility of the buffer (org-set-startup-visibility)
C-u C-u C-u Tab

Tada!

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark

https://vimeo.com/139463445

The Bravest — grope a little —
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead —
But as they learn to see —

Either the Darkness alters —
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight

— Emily Dickinson

#TIL in #Emacs and #OrgMode:

If i want to timestamp an entry, I use C-c .
and if I want to do this *without* causing it to appear in the agenda, I use C-c !

The second step is pretty handy for me to date my entries in my decision journal.
I want to keep track of when I made a significant decision and my rationale behind it.
But, not something I want popping up in my agenda :)
