+
+**This talk has been cancelled. Sorry!**
+
+I'd like to present my solution of taming a NixOS configuration **and** a
+Doom Emacs configuration with Org Mode. Taming, as in highlighting the
+pain points I had with them, why I found them to be a pain point, and
+then offering a solution. Might not be the best solution, but one that
+worked out remarkably well for me: writing a lot of words in Org mode to
+explain my thinking, for future me, sprinkling some code blocks here and
+there, and holistically assembling them into their tangled out form.
+
+Not a very in-depth talk, not a one-size-fits-all kind of solution. The
+goal is to show that you don't necessarily have to adapt to languages,
+or frameworks. With a little bit of care, and a whole lot of words your
+future self will thank you for, you can bend them to your will. So the
+computer will work for you, rather than the other way around.
+
+Because Emacs and Org mode can bend time and space - at least in a way,
+and you don't even need M-x butterfly!
+
+About the speaker:
+
+I'm a tiny mouse, a hacker. I like to play with things. I'm also very
+opinionated. These things don't always mix well. When I wanted to play with
+NixOS and Doom Emacs, I faced a problem: I don't like the Nix language, and I
+don't like how Doom's config has to be structured. I really wanted to play with
+both, though. So I tamed them. With Org Mode. I'd love to tell you how, so you
+can do the same.
