I’m going to edit and post my Skype chat with John Wiegley, but here are some quick notes:

• Read Emacswiki and go through the package lists to find cool stuff
• Learn the Emacs way of doing things (keybindings, etc.)
• paredit
• redshank
• helm
• ace-jump
• color-moccur
• use-package
• async?

Looks like Camtasia Studio 8 grabbed the video just fine, so I’ll work on editing it tomorrow. Whee! I totally have to chat with other Emacs geeks about their config and their projects – it’s such a different experience from just reading people’s configuration files or chatting on IRC…
