Sacha Chua's Emacs configuration. Somewhat daunted by the prospect of categorizing more than a hundred sketches and blog posts for my monthly review, I spent some time figuring out how to create the digital equivalent of sorting index cards into various piles. 2015-02-01 Digital piles of index cards – index card #indexing #organization #pkm In fact, wouldn't it be super-cool if the items could automatically guess which category they should probably go in, prompting me only if it wasn't clear?
I wanted to write a function that could take a list structured like this: Keyword A Previous linksKeyword B Previous linksLink 1 with Keyword ALink 2 with Keyword BLink 3 with Keyword ALink 4 It should file Link 1 and 3 under Keyword A, Link 2 under Keyword B, and prompt me for the category for Link 4. Inspired by John Kitchin's recent post on defining a Helm source, I wanted to get it to work with Helm. The next step was to write a function that guessed the list category based on the item text, and moved the item there.
Org-protocol.el – Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions. In some cases, replacing :base-url with :working-directory and :online-suffix with :working-suffix will not yield the desired results.
Suppose you maintain an online store located at The local sources reside in /home/user/example/. While most of the URLs map directly to local file names by stripping URL parameters from the end and replacing the :base-url with :working-diretory and :online-suffix with :working-suffix, this might not work for rewritten URLs. It's common practice to serve all products in such a store through one file and rewrite URLs that do not match an existing file on the server. That way, a request to might be rewritten on the server to something like where /posters-A4-digital.html.php is the so called path info. Note that the browser will not notice the rewrite. If you now click your org- bookmark, the handler will probably not find a file named /home/user/example/print/posters-A4.html.php and fail.
Guess what the second :rewrites element does. Wicked Cool Emacs: BBDB: Set up BBDB – The main address book and contact management module for Emacs is the Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB), which can be integrated into several mail clients and other modules within Emacs.

Emacs includes a package for sending your mail to a SMTP server and have it take care of delivering it to the final destination, rather than letting the MTA on your local system take care of it.
This can be useful if you don’t have a MTA set up on your host, or if your machine is often disconnected from the internet. Sending mail via SMTP requires configuring your mail user agent (see (emacs)Mail Methods) to use the SMTP library. If you have not configured anything, then in Emacs 24.1 and later the first time you try to send a mail Emacs will ask how you want to send mail. To use this library, answer ‘smtp’ when prompted.

The ideas in the article are not unique but they really struck a chord with me. Migrating from offlineimap to mbsync for mu4e. I have just switched over from offlineimap to mbsync (part of isync) for synchronising my local email with Gmail for use with mu4e.
I found offlineimap worked well enough but it would hang frequently if I had connection problems (e.g. on my laptop) and mbsync is much faster. I couldn’t find a guide for migrating, and I encountered a few issues along the way, so I thought I’d document the process here. The isync mailing list has some discussion of how to convert the maildir folders and related files from offlineimap to mbsync format, but I didn’t see any examples of this being done successfully so I decided to play it safe and sync a new maildir directory with mbsync, downloading a new copy of all of my emails from Gmail’s servers. I’m using a Mac, and built the newest version of isync from source without problems (the version on Mac Ports is older). My Workflow with Org-Agenda.

Scientific Writing with Zotero and Org Mode. Michael Behr has an interesting post on his scientific writing workflow. The post isn’t really about how he writes his papers but rather how he organizes and curates his research materials. As you’d expect, he uses an Org file to store links to research papers and take notes on them. If you’re an Org mode user you won’t have any difficulty imagining what this looks like. What’s interesting about his workflow is that he use Zotero to capture and store copies of the papers he needs for his research.
