 Hey, what's up everyone? So I'm pretty busy today, but I figured I could take a couple minutes off and do a video So here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna have I don't want to call it a competition Maybe I will I don't know Let me put it this way I get a lot of software recommendations a lot of people want me to review programs try programs out stuff like that They want to have an effect on my workflow or something like that and usually it doesn't happen Just because I'm pretty set in what I'm doing. I got everything pretty much as efficient as possible But one program of course the program I get recommended the most is of course emacs Which I don't use and I've nothing against emacs. I've used it a little bit before But you know emacs if you if you're a good emacs user emacs becomes a lifestyle and that's a lifestyle I've never really gotten into So I would say I you know, I of course am a Vim user, but I don't even think Vim and emacs are like Mutually exclusive. I don't feel like they're They're really equivalent because emacs is like it's like an operating system in a lot of ways It is a lifestyle in a way that Vim isn't so let me put it this way I am going to be writing a dissertation pretty soon and you know a dissertation is Often the biggest thing you'll ever write even if you end up writing books later on it's you know hundreds of pages of You know notes and references and cross references and all kind of stuff and I figured my dissertation might be the best Opportunity to actually get to play around with emacs a lot But here's the thing the reason I haven't really jumped Jumped into emacs is just because I know what it can do. I know what org mode can do people have told me But it's like it doesn't really click unless I really see it So what this video is going to be about is I want you to show me emacs This is a video competition and I am getting entrance from you guys That is I want you to Make a video and now don't just email me a bunch of texts or something like that I get that all the time people email me every week with paragraphs and paragraphs on why I should use emacs and that's fine But I want you to show me what emacs can do what it does for you How you actually use it do a video on emacs the same way I do videos on different programs Specifically org mode, but other things that can be really useful. I want to see videos on that And if you do so if you put out something that's really great that really Changes my perspective or something like that. Yeah, I'll give you props all you know Highlight your video or whatever so do a video record it with ffmpeg or OBS or whatever you want to do Give me the link send it to my email put it on the form I'll have a link to the thread on the form where you can put in entries or just throw them in the comments section because I I'm genuinely curious like I want to be persuaded to use emacs I want to be persuaded or not just persuaded but like I want to see What kind of stuff you can do with it and how quick you can do it? Like you know, I'm talking about like modifying a document You know just keeping everything in sync. I know that they have to do lists. I want to see them used It's just one of those issues of again. I know the kind of stuff that emacs org mode can do I just want I just want to see it. I just want to see it and that I mean It's the same concept of you watching a lot of my videos a lot of the stuff I'm doing you may like know in your head that it's there But you just want to see it done and that's this it's the same principle, right? I That's all I wanted so I want to be able to watch in you don't have to have a long video It could just be a couple minutes or just one minute or just showing some stuff off impress me impress me with emacs That's that's a job because I honestly want to use it like I want I think email I think org mode would be a great tool for working on my dissertation or other things In fact, I've tried to use it for a couple things before and it seems pretty useful. I just don't see the big You know like emacs for me It seems like you know if I'm going to be using it I might as well use it for pretty much everything right because it can do everything So that's a sort of sort of a big shift that I would be taking If I'm doing like all of my basic manipulation on it So I want I want you to show me what emacs OS can do So that that's pretty much it. So again throw make a video Put it in the comments section on the form again. I'll put a link to a thread or just email it to me I guess I'll review them maybe silently maybe not and get back to you on what's good and what isn't what I'm impressed by In different stuff like that. So anyway, that's all for today. I got to get back to work But I'll see you guys next time
