Interesting chat. Didn’t realize you can use org mode for config files.
I also use the Cyberpunk color theme.

    Oh, it uses Babel. Cool, I was looking for a project for the evening. Learning about this will do nicely.

Very good “kind-of-podcast”. Do you know if Bastien will be sharing his configuration?

Emacs chat: Thomas Kjeldahl Nilsson (March 22, 2013, 3) - I got to chat with Thomas about Emacs and picking up configuration snippets from EmacsWiki.

Emacs and Gnus: zomg, new chapter out the door! (August 4, 2008, 10) - So I _finally_ pulled everything together and got my Gnus chapter out the door. Hooray, hooray, hooray! Reading Mail with Gnus (PDF) Reading Mail with Gnus (HTML), produced by Org Disclaimers: It’s rough, it probably makes a few assumptions about whatever version of Emacs I’m running, it’s probably missing your favorite tips (and I’d love to add them!),
Gnus multi-pane tricks, or I heart Planet Emacsen (December 16, 2007, 0) - The tips Joseph Miklojcik shared for reading e-mail in Gnus included this _really_ nifty thing that I hadn’t come across when I set up my Gnus before: multi-pane reading. You know how modern news readers have a folder pane, a summary pane and a preview pane? Well, you can have that too. (gnus-add-configuration '(article (horizontal 1.0

Looking for Emacs blogs (January 4, 2005, 0) - I’d love to read more about the wonderful editor/way-of-life that is Emacs. Know of any Emacs-related blogs? (Occasional off-topics are fine.)

I plan to aggregate blogs into a general blog feed and an Emacs-specific blog feed. On Technorati:
