I have been using Emacs for many years. Thanks to the fantastic introduction to ELisp, I knew enough to "configure" Emacs. For some reason only recently have I started actually thinking about how I can make my computer-life easier; and Emacs is the one tool which poses least resistence when I try to.
I am kinda mad at myself for not doing this sooner, but also very happy that I finally did. I didn't know where else to share this :-)
In last few days, I have written 2 small bits of Elisp code (which took me embarassingly long to write, but the exercise was very rewarding).
It's not much, but it is honest work and I am happy I am finally doing it.
