Here is a christmas calendar for my beautiful girlfriend in honour of one of our favourite shows!

I have come to the realisation that I can be a little more efficient when it comes to searching for text within files, or as it is known in software engineering circles, grepping!

My artwork has been animated, here are some thumbnails, unfortunately you will only be able to see the videos in Canada, you could always use a VPN I suppose!

Here is a christmas calendar I have been working on for a work quiz which is starting to become a yearly tradition!

My next investigation into trying to improve my emacs workflow is expanding entered text for repetitive tasks.

I previously wrote about wanting the ability in emacs to copy and paste files from one window to another just like a linux GUI file manager and after a little hunting around and experimentation I settled on putting together some elisp:

By default dired orders its files in alphanumeric order and when s is selected it sorts by date according to :

Something is still bugging me with my dired tidy up and I think it is wanting to add the ability to remove dot files.

Bit by bit I am getting to grips with dired and using this for more operations on my files.

More doodles

Using an old fashioned notepad and biro to start off a doodle and then finished off with Krita

The music I produced from the first of my true obsessions.

Something has been nagging at me for a while now, I seem to spend a lot of time moving the cursor to the next or previous line within a window, spamming C-n and C-p to get where I want to within a file.

I am currently keeping all my textual notes in a separate org file called appropriately, notes.org. This is pretty much just a random rambling set of text containing bits and bobs that I don't want to forget.

My dired replacement of Dolphin / linux terminal continues. The next thing is something useful to me but uncommon and something that dired didn't seem to be able to do out of the box.

A quick doodle, got a little bored and had a notepad and pen.

Spending a week with my parents

Now dired is becoming more ingrained into my muscle memory, navigating efficiently through the folder structure is becoming more prominent in my mind and it still doesn't feel natural enough.

The next step in my emacs journey is to move files around a little more easily, in fact more like a regular file explorer using the concept of file / folder selection copy and paste. That concept seems a little more natural to me than dired file marking, renaming / copying and then entering the path of the destination address.
