Press `<M-escape.` to display a list of buffers hosting X applications. Use
`completing-read` to select and focus one of these.
See the function docs and TODOs for more information.
|
|
I don't want vterm buffers or magit buffers showing up when I cycle throw
buffers.

Currently, after I connect my monitor to my laptop, I run `display/enable-4k`,
which will use `xrandr` to enable the display. The scaling of the enabled
display is not what I expect. So I've habituated re-running the same function,
`display/enable-4k`, which scales the display and meets my expectations.
What's strange is that if instead of running `display/enable-4k` the first time
from Emacs, I call `xrandr ...` from a terminal, this enables the display and
scales it properly on the first invocation.
I'm unsure how to explain this behavior. It's possible that a environment
variable is set properly in the terminal that isn't set in my Emacs, but this is
just a guess.
I'm going to using a different invocation in display.el that explicitly passes
the monitors dimensions. Let's see if that works.

To facilitate transitioning from using `terminator` to using `vterm`, I'm
defining some KBDs that I hope will help me habituate my usage of `vterm`.

Quickly access strings that encode time is various formats. See the module docs
in timestring.el for more information.

I'm currently quite unfamiliar with golang. As an exercise to help me onboard
onto golang, and as a proof-of-concept to see if golang is a viable substitute
for Python as a scripting language, I decided to port my delete_dotfile_symlinks
to golang.
In the process, renamed ./python -> ./scripts, which is a more accommodating
name for a directory.
|
|
I decided to start writing go code for scripts instead of python. I think this
will be a learning opportunity for me and should increase the integrity of my
scripts by adding some static type checking.

Adding a deploy.nix to output docker images based on the <briefcase>.blog
derivation. See the deploy/README.md docs for more information.
|
|
Move the three injected dependencies into one.
|
|
I think the name deploy is more representative of the purpose of this directory
since docker is just one of a few tools that I'm using to deploy software.

Using index.html allows us to use the Google AdSense script and extend the
styling by adding a CSS stylesheet.

Renaming my mono-repo briefcase.
I first introduced this commit in master, but it introduced a bug where one of
two things would happen:
1. Emacs wouldn't start and would crash X.
2. Emacs would start but my keyboard wouldn't work.
I learned some valuable debugging skills in the process. Here are some of them:
When my keyboard was broken, I wanted to control my computer using my
laptop. Thankfully this is possible by using `x2x`, which forward X events from
the SSH client to the SSH host.
```shell
> # I'm unsure if this is the *exact* command
> ssh -X desktop x2x -west :0.0
```
Git commit-local bisecting. I didn't need to do a `git bisect` because I knew
which commit introduced the bug; it was HEAD, master. But -- as you can see from
the size of this commit -- there are many changes involved. I wanted to binary
search through the changes, so I did the following workflow using `magit`:
- git reset --soft HEAD^
- git stash 1/2 of the files changed
- re-run `nix-env -f ~/briefcase/emacs -i`
- restart X session
- If the problem persists, the bug exists in the non-stashed files. Repeat the
process until you find the bug.
In my case, the bug was pretty benign. Calling `(exwm/switch "Dotfiles")` at the
bottom of `window-manager.el` was failing because "Dotfiles" is the name of a
non-existent workspace; it should've been `(exwm/switch "Briefcase")`.
There may have been more problems. I changed a few other things along the way,
including exposing the env vars BRIEFCASE to `wpcarros-emacs` inside of
`emacs/default.nix`.
The important part is that this was a valuable learning opportunity, and I'm
glad that I'm walking away from the two days of "lost productivity" feeling
actually productive.

Adding a simple script to help me manage the symlinks to the dotfiles
managed by my mono-repo.
|
|
I'm using a Makefile until I can remember the command:
```shell
> nix-env -f . -i
```
This will install (i.e. `-i`) any derivations instantiated from the Nix
expression resolvable by `-f`. Ideally the incantation will look something like
this:
```shell
> nix-env -f '<universe>' -iA emacs
```
Informing `nix-env` to install all of the derivations created by the expression
at attribute `emacs` in my `<universe>` repository. For now two things are
preventing this:
1. `emacs` isn't an attribute in my top-level expression defined in the
`default.nix`.
2. If I do add `emacs` as an attribute and call the above command, my usage of
`readTree` results in `pkgs` missing `.lib` and a few other stdlib commands
that are available in `(import <nixpkgs> {})`.
A fix for both of these should be forthcoming.
|
|
At the moment, all of the Nix repositories that I'm consuming exist in ~. To
keep things consistent, I ran:
```shell
> hub clone nixos/nixpkgs ~/nixpkgs
```
|
|
Moving all of my Emacs-related files into their own directory at the root of
this repository.

When I first moved to London, I created common.txt to store the address of my
office, my temporary housing, my new phone number, and other information. It
serverd its purpose, but I no longer need it anymore.
bookmarks.txt started out as a dmenu/rofi -> google-chrome integration. This
predates EXWM, which has replaced this with a google-chrome.el module (or
something similarly named).

Manually merging:
- README.md: I added the description from universe/README.md into the heading of
dotfiles/README.md.
- .envrc: dotfiles/.envrc was a superset of universe/.envrc
- .gitignore: Adding some of the ignored patterns from universe/.gitignore to
dotfiles/.gitignore
Everything else here should be a simple rename.
|
|
git-subtree-dir: universe
git-subtree-mainline: 15110e6de9f85537c7847267caa35fa068aea001

I've been using Fish consistently for about a month now, and I don't see myself
switching back to ZSH. Some of the code from this commit should be published. I
may get around to that one day. Before I did that, I would need to clean it up
and document it, which I won't be doing today.
Thank you, ZSH, for your service.

I recently changed my hostname for my desktop and laptop from
wpcarro.lon.corp.google.com -> zeno.lon.corp.google.com
wpcarro2 -> seneca
If you're curious, the names Zeno and Seneca come from famous Stoic
philosophers. As you can see from this commit, my configuration depends on the
values of these hostnames.
Immediately impacted:
- .profile
- device.el
Not immediately impacted:
- configs/install
- configs/uninstall
- .ssh/config
- .zshrc*
* As a side note, I should stop supporting ZSH.
Using an .envrc file helps me DRY up some of my configuration. Ideally I should
only need to make changes to the .envrc file and then expect everything to work
as expected. Let's see how that goes.

Adding a README including my current method for deploying. See the README for
more details. All of this is quite virgin and as such is subject to change.
|

Using <depot>'s gemma project with `dockerTools.buildLayeredImage` because I
need access to a nix-packaged server and gemma is the first thing that comes to
mind.
|
|
1. This isn't correct fish syntax.
2. I'm not sure that I need this.

I'm attempting to setup my blog using the following:
- Google Cloud Run: I whitelist a docker image that packages my application and
then Google runs it "statelessly" (i.e. without persistence). The stateless part
should be fine for the time being.
- Nix: Using `<nixpkgs>.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage` to output docker images
from Nix expressions.
- Docker: Upload the output image from the Nix expressions and upload it to
Google Container Registry from which it can be run from Google Cloud Run.
Some helpful commands:
```shell
> sudo gcloud auth login
> nix-build ./docker/cloud_run.nix
> sudo docker image import ./result
> sudo docker tag <name> gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
> sudo docker push gcr.io/<google-cloud-project-id>/<name>:<tag>
```
I'm unsure if Google Cloud Run is my desired end goal, but it may help me
publish a blog faster than setting up a Kubernetes cluster, which is what I'd
ultimately like to do. Cloud Run should be cheaper financially and time-wise.

Perhaps commits like these will become less frequent when I adopt Nix and a
proper packaging strategy.

A Poem:
I wanted to try out this package...
30 minutes later after a dozen failed attempts at packaging it...
I no longer want to try this package...
for now.

Update code that depends on my mono-repo being named "mono". I've renamed it to
"universe", which explains the changes in this commit.
TODO: Merge dotfiles into universe.
|
|
Prefer the name universe for my mono-repo. A bit grandiose, sure, but I prefer
the metaphor to no metaphor at all.
|
|
TIL: Nix support the ~ as a home variable, which makes my code more portable
since it's shared between my work laptop and work desktop.
|
|
I'm having trouble debugging why `pgrep emacs` returns two PIDs instead of just
one. Additionally when I call `emacsclient .` on the command line, I see a
message...
"Waiting for Emacs..."
...but when I cycle through all of my workspaces, I don't see any active
buffers. This commit is part of a larger debugging effort to get this working as
expected.
|
|
The end goal is to have some functions that help me manage my Monzo and YNAB
accounts. YNAB (i.e. youneedabudget.com) doesn't support Monzo
integrations. However, both services offer APIs. Here I'm sketching ideas for
what the API integrations might look like. Coming soon: monzo.el.
|
|
Not adding it as a top-level dependency since maybe.el depends on on
prelude.el. This shouldn't be a circular dependency when the requirement happens
in the function's scope though.
|
|
Add path to `egg-timer.el` module for now until it's published on MELPA.
|
|
Remove `dbus-launch` and prefer simply `exec emacs`. Add `--no-site-file` and
`--no-site-lisp` flags.
Temporarily disable `google-stuff.el` because it's unavailable with the
`--no-site-lisp` flag.
This should all be fixed when I fully nixify my Emacs.
|
|
Why?
- `company-mode` is too noisy in IRC buffers.
- `auto-fill-mode` inserts newline characters that end up each being their own
message, which means that I make more noise than I should in IRC.
|
|
Wrapping the `nix eval` incantation in a fish function for two reasons:
1. Document that this is how to evaluate Nix from a file.
2. Provide a more ergonomic way of evaluating Nix from a file.
|
|
This takes care of my outstanding TODO of understanding why something ivy was
being used and other times it wasn't. It turns out that there is a generic
`completing-read` function that many Emacs packages consume. `ivy-mode` ensures
that when that function is called it is used instead of the default Emacs
completing package.
I'm still unsure of the difference between ivy and counsel. My best guess
currently is that counsel is the narrowing framework and ivy is the integration
of the narrowing framework with `completing-read`. Swiper must be the
integration with incremental {forward,backward} search.
|
|
Adding the missing dependency requirement for keybindings.el
|
|
Since I've exported alarm.el as egg-timer.el, prefer requiring the latter, which
is in a separate repository.
|
|
Adds some dummy markup, which includes my Google AdSense `<script>` tag. The
script won't work unless it is loaded from wpcarro.dev.
|
|
The previous commit that adds Java code is part of a larger project intended to
use Nix to package Clojure. I'd like to build something similar to @tazjin's
buildLisp except for Clojure instead of for Common Lisp. Once building for both
ecosystems is similarly easy, it will be easier for me to compare the two
languages. Right now `buildLisp` is so good that it attracts me to Common Lisp
even when I don't know the language.
|
|
Add an example of two java files, Main.java and Another.java, where Main.java
depends on Another.java. This is part of a larger example of attempting to use
Nix to package these.
Also ignoring the *.class files that `javac <filename>` outputs.
|
|
Instead of `keynav &`.
|
|
As mentioned in the TODO, I need this redundant KBD for my Ergodox.
|
|
- Renames productivity-timer.el -> alarm.el
- Support functionality
- Whitelists alarm.el in init.el
|
|
I can kill process from Emacs instead of creating a terminal and using that.
|
|
I would like to port the `f.el` library to Common Lisp. I'm adding a README,
some build files, and the module itself to get started.
|
|
Removing the default.nix that I used to attempt to build prove, a Common Lisp
unit testing library. Also removing the lisp module with the unit tests
themselves.
|
|
Using this module to support utility functions that I have not classified
further than being miscellaneous.
