July 2015 Emacs Hangout

| emacs

We talked about Python, Org Mode, system administration, keybindings, Hydra, and other neat things. =)

I’ll probably set up another hangout mid-August, or we’ll just do the one on the 29th. We’ll see! You can follow the Emacs Conferences and Hangouts page for more information, or sign up to get e-mails for upcoming hangouts. Past Emacs Hangouts

Would you let Howard know that I'd be interested in buying that Kinesis when he's ready?

This is a cool idea! I recently gave a talk to a local Vim meetup group in Boston about my transition from Vim (after 15 years) to Emacs. I'd be happy to join in one of these chats to talk about it. I won't link the video here in case it's spammy, but it's called "Evil Mode, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Emacs."

Howard, I'd love to know more about how you were sending email with MIME (@1:01:00). That's one thing I miss now that I use mu4e for email. How did you do that?

I sent Howard a note via http://howardism.org/ with a link to these comments so he can come and answer them himself. =)

Sorry for the delay. I'm use mu4e for reading mail too, but if you install the org-contrib-plus package, it includes the updated version of org-mime that does the goodies.

If you check out the section on org-mode mail sending on https://github.com/howardab... (and maybe also the section above it on sending email in general), you should be good.

Thanks Howard, I'll check that out.

Thanks (I think) to Sacha's side reference to GMANE, I'm actually using GNUS to read news again for the first time in, oh, a decade or two...It's really good at reading news !!!

I'm delighted that turned out to be useful! =)
