So a sysadmin friend and I decided that there just weren’t enough blogs about systems administration and linux out there. So we started another one:
I’m sure it will develop its own voice, since we both have, um, firmly held opinions about how things should be done. And odd senses of humor.
Since I tend to use emacs more for writing and org-mode rather than sysadminning, I’ll keep my emacs posts for my personal blog. (And so ends my feeble attempt to justify tagging this “emacs” and watching it hit planet emacsen.)
This is the story of a man and his favorite text editor.
In 2001, I was a freshman in college, which meant the closest thing to highspeed internet that I had hitherto experienced. Which upped my time surfing the web. One of the delightful sites I lighted upon was Ftrain.
One day, I dug through Ftrain’s archives and found Emacs Notepad. I was intrigued. Having exclusively used Word (and Notepad to edit HTML - ha!) up until that point, this Emacs thingy sounded fascinating. I downloaded a Windows version right away.
