--> 00:00:08.599 +how Emacs turbocharges my writing. + +00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:11.799 +Quick intro: I've been programming since 1998 + +00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.079 +and blogging since 2011. + +00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.639 +In May of 2020 I switched to Emacs, + +00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.919 +having previously used a long list of different editors. + +00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.039 +Curious about how Emacs impacted my writing, + +00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.559 +I wrote some stuff on my personal site and + +00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:30.399 +found that I blogged about 95 words per day prior to Emacs, + +00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.719 +and with Emacs I'm blogging about 340. + +00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.959 +Now, this is not a fair comparison, many things changed. + +00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.919 +A pandemic removed 2 hours of commute every day + +00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.199 +as a big contributor. + +00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.999 +Ultimately though, I've used Emacs and extended it + +00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.319 +to reduce barriers to capturing and writing and thinking, + +00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.319 +and I'm always on the lookout for minor refinements + +00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.119 +that help me stay in my thinking. + +NOTE How I got here + +00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:59.239 +How I got here was I started in WordPress, + +00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.599 +then I moved to Jekyll, and then to Hugo, + +00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.439 +and through that process I started writing in Markdown. + +00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:07.119 +And when I was learning Emacs, + +00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.359 +I also didn't want to learn Org Mode, + +00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:12.399 +it felt intimidating because it could do so many things. + +00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.519 +I later learned Org Mode grows with you, + +00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:18.399 +and that's where I'm at now. + +NOTE Friction + +00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.999 +But I didn't realize that friction + +00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.359 +between writing Markdown for my public blog + +00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:25.479 +and then adopting Org Mode locally + +00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.519 +for writing and time tracking and things like that. + +00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:31.119 +And also, where did I put things, + +00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.159 +because migrating the formats was just a little clunky. + +00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:38.199 +So ultimately I spent some time thinking about the data flow + +00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:39.519 +and where I would put things, + +00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:41.039 +this kind of pre-thinking, + +00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.959 +where does stuff go when it comes into and out of my brain. + +NOTE Domains for notes + +00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.399 +So I have many domains where I'll write towards. + +00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.119 +The ones for this presentation are going to be + +00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.159 +blog posts, epigraphs, glossary, and melange. + +00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:56.319 +Melange is, I don't know where it goes, + +00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:00.999 +but now I do, I just throw it in melange. + +00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.479 +So I began exploring Org Mode via Org Roam, + +00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.559 +but I've ultimately switched from Org Roam + +00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.639 +to the simplified Denote package. + +00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:13.199 +I didn't use a lot of the functionality + +00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.919 +and I appreciate the plain text reality of Denote. + +NOTE Demo + +00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:18.799 +So let's hop into the demo. + +00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.919 +I'm going to split my screen. + +00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:21.959 +Over on the right is going to be + +00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.199 +where I'm going to be live typing stuff. + +00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:27.319 +So let's get going. + +00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:29.799 +You'll notice I don't do a lot of screen splitting. + +00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.239 +It just makes it easier to focus. + +00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.039 +So let's create a note. + +00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:41.279 +All right, I have bound hyper to my command key, + +00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.519 +my right command key. + +00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.679 +This opens up a whole world. + +00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.559 +I'm going to create a blog post + +00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.799 +and we're going to name it the ever popular "hello world". + +00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:50.799 +It's Emacs. + +00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:51.519 +Great. + +00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.439 +We've saved it. + +NOTE Dabbrev and hippie-expand + +00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.399 +One of the things I encourage everybody to do + +00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.039 +is to watch Jay Dixit's presentation, Emacs for Writers. + +00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:08.079 +It showed me the utility of Dabbrev for quick auto correction. + +00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.479 +And I also love using hippie-expand. + +00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:14.639 +When I watch VS coders code, it's always a little sad pants + +00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:17.319 +because they're thinking about coding or writing + +00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.159 +in terms of their code. + +00:03:19.160 --> 00:03:24.239 +But I have found as a programmer, I tend to write more tech, + +00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.799 +more like English instead of programming code. + +00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.719 +So I think it's important to understand these tools + +00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:32.839 +that help me write better. + +NOTE Links + +00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.879 +All right, we're going to go with links. + +00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:36.999 +Links are foundational for the web. + +00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.159 +I'm going to insert a public link, + +00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:43.439 +which is a role playing game that I love, + +00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:45.159 +Worlds Without Number. + +00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:48.399 +And I'm going to go ahead and describe it. + +00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.239 +A role playing game. + +00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.479 +But I don't want to always say role playing game. + +00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:54.599 +I'm going to abbreviate it. + +00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:57.079 +So I wrote a function that will transform it. + +00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.239 +And let's take a look at what that looks like on the inside. + +00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.279 +When I do this real quick, it's toggling it back and forth. + +00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.119 +And I'll just keep doing that. + +00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.999 +I also have the idea of public notes and private notes. + +00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.399 +Public is things that's going to have a URL. + +00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:16.879 +I met a person at a conference. + +00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:19.639 +He gave a talk on something that I thought was very useful. + +00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:23.159 +I didn't write down what he talked about on his note. + +00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.279 +I wrote it where it was more relevant to the topic. + +00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:31.159 +And I can use a backlink to go find that. + +00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.119 +Next up, I demonstrate the abbreviation. + +00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.839 +I also have dates. + +00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:37.999 +This is a semantic date in HTML5. + +00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.839 +I can just have the year. + +00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:48.359 +I can also just have something like that date is today. + +00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.239 +And we have date links. + +00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.199 +I don't have backlinks built up for that, + +00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:56.959 +but I have ideas of how I go about doing it. + +00:04:56.960 --> 00:04:58.759 +And last up, thank you Frank Herbert, + +00:04:58.760 --> 00:05:00.799 +I want to introduce epigraphs. + +00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.359 +So this is epigraph. + +00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.719 +I just have that, any sufficiently, dot, dot, dot. + +00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.359 +And that's my epigraph. + +00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:16.719 +Backlinks, I mentioned that. + +00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.999 +Let's go take a look at Jonathan, right? + +00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.119 +He's a Rubyist, but importantly is the backlinks. + +00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.319 +He gave a talk on, that's right, PDFs. + +00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:28.959 +I can go look at what he spoke to + +00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:31.879 +and I can reference that because I will remember + +00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:36.679 +that talk or I will remember, oh, I need to look up PDFs. + +00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.799 +Oh, I have something in PDFs. + +00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.239 +Again, it's about stumbling upon data in a good way. + +00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.319 +So thinking of making linking easy helps me + +00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:52.159 +create more and more ways to find things, + +00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.119 +both by links, backlinks, indices, file searches, and so forth. + +00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.239 +It's all about information organization. + +00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.879 +Next up is a really cool function of org capture. + +00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:06.679 +So let's take a look here. + +00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.039 +I'm going to start a clock. + +00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:09.159 +It's running. + +00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.479 +And I'm going to bring up my browser. + +00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:19.679 +And I'm going to go ahead and capture to the content to clock. + +00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.159 +And it brings up this block quote, which is lovely. + +00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.719 +And boom, I'm going to save it. + +00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.199 +I'm going to close this. + +00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:30.959 +We're back here to my "hello world". + +00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:33.519 +And it has grabbed a block quote for this. + +00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:38.039 +Again, it helps me gather stuff up quickly. + +00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.119 +I've bound that also in my RSS feed. + +00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.199 +We're going to skip over macros, blocks, and the abstract. + +00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:45.479 +And we're going to get into the export + +00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.519 +because this is where we can see the magic + +00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:49.599 +that happens because I want to take things + +00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.079 +from private to public. + +00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:53.199 +So I have bound a key. + +00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:55.559 +These are my menu of things I don't want to forget. + +00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:56.759 +I will export. + +00:06:56.760 --> 00:06:57.839 +And here we go. + +00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:04.959 +Here is my blog post in markdown format with Hugo shortcodes. + +00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:07.399 +So let's go take a look at what that looks like. + +00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:09.359 +Localhost. + +00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.359 +I'm not writing in Rails. + +00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.919 +"Hello world" right there. + +00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.159 +This is the epigraph. + +00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:22.279 +And I have a mention of Worlds without Number. + +00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:24.799 +And I have mentioned this as a abbreviation. + +00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.519 +So I include the first time this text. + +00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:30.199 +Here's also Jonathan. + +00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:33.399 +He is not a public reference thing. + +00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:37.519 +Also, I have these things here. + +00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:39.399 +And here's my captured information + +00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:42.599 +along with the citation link to it. + +00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:49.159 +Again, helpful to be consistent. + +NOTE Conclusion + +00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.279 +In conclusion, when I started learning Emacs, + +00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:55.879 +I quickly shifted to vanilla Emacs and just started writing. + +00:07:55.880 --> 00:07:59.519 +As I wrote, when I needed to do something that I'd previously + +00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:02.999 +done in a text editor, I'd find an experiment with a package. + +00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.679 +I continue that mindset. + +00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.839 +As I write, I'm attending to what I'm doing. + +00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:08.879 +And eventually, I realize if I were to just write + +00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:11.639 +a function that does this one thing, + +00:08:11.640 --> 00:08:13.559 +I'd have a smoother writing experience. + +00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.359 +This helps me practice my craft, extend my editor, + +00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.999 +understand its capabilities, and begin exploring other things. + +00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.159 +The goal of this is all to minimize the distractions. + +00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.759 +As I'm thinking about it, I wanted to quickly add it + +00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:27.159 +and then move along, + +00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.559 +basically creating breadcrumbs for me + +00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.239 +to follow my thoughts in the future. + +00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.159 +And one of those functions is + +00:08:33.160 --> 00:08:36.479 +I'd like to write an extender for my abbr, + +00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.679 +abbreviation export to work in Latex. + +00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:40.279 +It's like halfway there. + +00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:42.239 +So I'm looking forward to getting that done + +00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.439 +when I have some time and can prioritize it. + +00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.799 +But for now, thank you. + +00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:53.160 +And I look forward to your questions. diff --git a/2023/info/writing-after.md
