@gtwilson If I had nothing to do but be efficient in single documents, I’d stick with vim, no question. It’s pretty much just the org mode in emacs that’s tempting me.
Really, what I might end up doing is taking my notes in emacs org, then writing the academic markdown (= Markdown + LaTeX -> pandoc) in vim. We’ll see how it goes…
I love the simplicity of Vim, but can't deny that emacs and org mode look incredibly appealing.
Its todo list and built-in scheduler are exactly what I was looking for for my meal planning.
Obviously, when it comes time to write essays and the big dissertation, it'll be very useful as well.
@matigo 1Blocker for me.
One day, something like uOrigin might become possible on iOS. One day.

I have a growing folder of screenshots that is now at a size where I’ll need a script to organise them. The upside of doing this as a script is that I can take my sweet time — these files are for archival — and should process a folder of any size.
Basically, the files are all in the format $DATE_$TIME A B, and I need files to be moved into folders labelled according to everything after the first whitespace.
Should be simple enough as a bash script. Will probably need to read up a bit on sed or one of its relatives.
@gtwilson It’s unfortunate that an abundance of resources makes so many people in charge lazy when it comes to these things.
@gtwilson Sounds a hell of a lot better than how unis do it nowadays: get a contract with Dell/HP, pay extortionate prices, and get sluggish systems that take 5 minutes to log in to.
@gtwilson I’m not one for messing about with something that works, but it just doesn’t feel right buying something so expensive that’s so difficult to upgrade — just in case.
125 in one night is quite a feat. Chocolate-covered coffee beans?
