Emacs braindump from John Wiegley =)
| emacsI’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…

2012-06-23T04:21:26ZI'd love to have Emacs hangouts on Skype or Google+ to talk about how to use Emacs and stuff! With Google Hangouts, you can share you screen so we can do a show and tell too! :)

I'd love to have Emacs hangouts on Google+, especially with screen sharing! When would be good for you? I'm generally available on Fridays or the weekend. Shall we give it a try?

2012-06-24T10:45:02ZI'm pretty darn flexible as I don't really have a fixed schedule right now. I'll work around everyone else's schedule as much as possible. :)
Keep me in the loop and I'll join in!
