This week I'm embarking on a plan to get my workflow under control.

I tend to let myself dive too deeply into whatever I'm absorbed in at the moment, letting other responsibilities slide. That's obviously not a good way to operate. It's had a noticeable impact on my health over the last few months.

The new aim is to introduce more discipline into my process to achieve consistent results with less intensity. I'll write about it more once the details of the plan are clear.

@ivan yep, with time boxing I always end up feeling like I don't accomplish enough, but I know that it helps to load balance things better!

I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Emacs, here's what it returned.

#emacs #emacsconf

Experimenting with Woodpecker CI on @Codeberg this morning. It's really easy to get started, which is nice.

Since the build images are all Docker containers, I'm now looking into how I can create a custom. build image to use Guix Shell to manage build dependencies and environment.

I'll either create a Docker image directly from `guix system` or use the Guix package in the Debian image to set things up more simply. Will be fun to experiment!

#Codeberg #ci #guix

@ctietze Seems like an option they should provide in the toot interface! Would be nice to use an Org-style date/time picker for that.

@ctietze oh cool!

@abcdw Same here. I wonder how one could enable ActivityPub comments on a static blog site?

#SystemCrafters community folks, reply to this post so that you can find each other!

🔴 On today's #SystemCrafters stream, we'll be discussing why Mastodon (and more specifically ActivityPub) are better for Emacs users and configuration hackers in general!

We'll discuss what ActivityPub really is, how you can use it, and some use cases that might motivate you to hack around with it.

The stream starts around an hour from now, 11/25 @ 4PM UTC. See you there!

Who says you can't have Thanksgiving in Greece?

So are we really doing this? Is Mastodon the Thing?

@jntrnr
Emacs server is hopping right now but not sure I want to migrate just yet. I still havent figured out the best place to be.

Also, hello friend! I've been meaning to catch up with you but have been too consumed with coding lately. I need to catch up on your NES emulator videos

@pkal
This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. I'm thinking about explaining the "Emacs Way" to do things so that viewers can understand why someone might choose Emacs over something else.

@louis
Nice work with the Emacs Mastodon server, an impressive amount of activity there! I mentioned it on stream last night so hopefully you got some more new folks joining :)

@craigwong Thanks Craig! I joined Fosstodon a while back, but it seems the emacs.ch instance is very lively now!

@pkal
Interactively editing your configuration by evaluating code in a buffer, M-: or ielm; exploring the system with M-x, describe-*; reading built in manuals for more than just Emacs. What else?

If I were to give a talk about #emacs at NeovimConf, what do you think it should be about?

Yes, it sounds weird, but the organizers actually invited me!
