Emacs Chat with Avdi Grimm (Org-mode, Ruby, etc.)
Posted: - Modified: | emacs, Emacs Chat, podcastUpdate 2013-03-16: Get the MP3 or Ogg Vorbis files, or listen to them on archive.org!
Thanks to Matthew Darling’s comment on my post about code coaching, I came across Avdi Grimm’s work with pair programming – and was delighted to find that he uses Emacs too. =) Check out my Skype chat with Avdi about Org-mode literate programming, Ruby, and how he got started with Emacs.

2013-03-04T21:48:08ZFun video - and you timed the length just right for my attention span :-)
I was wondering what some of the functions/tricks are that can be used to dig back in history of a file - "at your fingertips" ... I guess vc-annotate? Ah, here's the screencast: http://devblog.avdi.org/201...
I never really got into Magit - I guess I'll have to give it another try.
DNA editing sounded fun as well; I wonder if anyone has done anything with protein sequences...
Oh, and Gnus has gotten a lot better at IMAP, so there's a reason to give that another whirl!

2013-03-05T10:51:46ZHi,
just wonder, beside of seeing both of you, those videos do not give much information. Why not offering a ogg-audio file? People could listen to the chat on-the-go which is much easier then sitting 45min in front of a online video device. Just an idea....

2013-03-05T20:14:05ZGood point! I'll make Ogg and MP3s when I get back to my computer tonight, and I'll also start transcribing it.

2013-03-12T20:23:14ZSacha, these interviews are great! (I was delinquent in keeping up with RSS feeds for most of 2012, so I'm catching up with JohnW now too.) I hope the series continues!
