Advent of Code2023-12-22
This year I challenged myself to participate in the Advent of Code again, using Elisp as my weapon of choice. Several posts had already been added to this page, but to keep it a bit cleaner, I've moved them to a dedicated section instead. They can now be found in the advent-of-code section listed at the top of this site.
A fresh start, again2023-11-13
This adventure started about a year ago. I decided I needed to rewrite my emacs and exwm config as they became too cluttered and buggy due to about 5 years of mindlessly adding stuff to it with no clear structure. Now, almost 12 months later, these configs are becoming a nuisance and threaten my daily workflow. Hence, a fresh new desire to rewrite them surfaced. Only one thing kept me from getting right into it, which was that blog I started in January. It was a Hugo project, filled with org-mode files and git submodules to incorporate files from other projects into this one. I didn't want to work on it anymore. A fresh start. I decided to drop the Hugo project completely and restart with pure Emacs and org-mode.
org-publish2023-11-12
Last year I decided i wanted to rewrite my Emacs config, and wanted to make it public through some kind of website/blog. Being an Emacs and org-mode enthousiast I naturally wanted to work on it in a workflow that feels close to my daily habits. So i went with Hugo, a static site generiator that appearantly supports org-mode out of the box. Guess what,.. I spent so much time trying to get things the way I wanted them to be that I kept postponing creating actual content up until the point that i forgot about that site all together, So now there is a single post on some obscure Jira package that i wrote, and ahalf baked Emacs config that i couldn't get to both export nicely to the site and be useful as a config at the same time. I guess the only piece of software that supports org-mode is org-mode itself.

At the company I work at we work on multiple projects and those
projects belong to multiple clients. As a result we have a
multitude of Jira boards spread across multiple Jira instances.
Sometimes I just want to be able to quickly jump to either a
specific issue (when a coworker mentions it on a video call) or to
the board itself. This package will give me access to both at
lightning speed, without having to navigate that great Jira UI.
