Hi Metasearch.el

One of the less obvious super powers of Emacs is its ability to start any shell command. In the past few days I put together a small package that uses this to start web searches from within Emacs: Metasearch.el allows to simultaneously use the same search string in multiple search engines. Search engines can be…

orgrr goes global

I use orgrr, my note-taking package for Emacs, for many different but sometimes overlapping aspects of my life: A main slipbox for professional knowledge, several writing projects, an org-journal folder, a folder with tasks for work, downloaded websites/mastodon posts (via mastodon.el) and more. Recent additions to orgrr, such as global variants of find, insert, show-backlinks,…

Adding orgrr-related-notes

I wrote a new function to better surface related notes for my minimalist org-roam v1 clone orgrr. The function collects all notes related to a given note to the second degree – the backlinks for the backlinks and the outgoing links mentioned by outgoing links. To use the image of a family, it considers parents…

Adding orgrr-projects

One of the main ideas of the Zettelkasten-approach (“This is the way”) is to be able to pull out a number of cards and to look at them at the same time. For a while I tried different ways to replicate this with orgroam (and orgrr). One of my ideas was to open all relevant…

orgrr: org-roam-ripgrep

Org-roam v2 is an amazing project and brought org-roam to a new level of sophistication. Still, I never made the switch. As a reminder, the crucial difference between the two was the move from files as the main unit of interaction to “nodes”, which are org headlines with an org-id attached to them. This allowed…

Copy org-ified toot to clipboard/org-journal (mastodon.el)

There is a lot of useful information flying around in Mastodon. Some of it I would like to archive in my text-based database (i.e. org-roam). To access Mastodon inside Emacs I use mastodon.el. This little hack copies an org-ified version of the “toot” at point in the mastodon.el timeline to the clipboard. It uses the…

An afternoon walk in Duisburg

An afternoon walk in Duisburg. Haven’t been at Landschaftspark for ages – was there with the family and stumbled into a pupplay photoshot… Ricoh GR III, B&W, pinpoint AF

Add a website from Emacs to Things’ inbox

This code snippet will quickly add a website from any Emacs buffer to Things’ inbox. The name of the new task is the name of the website, the URL is added as a note. It requires org-web-tools, uses the URL-scheme of Things and in Emacs the cursor must be on the URL you want to…
