Reboot

Published on May 9, 2017.

Some times things break or stop working to push you to do something that was on your to-do list for a long time. I had some problems with the virtual private server (VPS) that hosted my web site last month and because of it I had to configure a new VPS. Taking the opportunity I decided to update the theme that I used on my web site. I hope that you like the new one.

Revisitando meu \~/.emacs

Published on April 20, 2017.

Depois de usar o Emacs por mais de um ano eu resolvi revisitar meu ~./emacs, isso é, meu arquivo de configuração do Emacs.

É possível utilizar ~/.emacs, ~/.emacs.el ou ~/.emacs.d/init.el para o arquivo de configuração. Resolvi utilizar o último para manter todos os arquivos no mesmo diretório. Você encontrará meus arquivos no GitLab.

Seeking a email client

Published on January 20, 2017.

In 2009, one of my friends introduced me to Vim and its power to edit text files. After a few months I was so happy using Vim that I couldn’t write my emails on the poor web email client input box so the same friend that introduced me to Vim told me about Mutt.

I copied some dotfiles from the web, edited them and after a few hours (maybe days) I could check and reply my emails using Mutt and Vim. If life was a fairy tail it will end here!

Aniversários no BBDB e avisos no Org Mode

Published on January 14, 2017.

O BBDB é uma agenda de contatos e o Org Mode é um gerenciador de tarefas. Ambos funcionam no Emacs e nesse post vou mostrar como fazer o BBDB e o Org Mode conversarem para que o aniverário dos seus contatos apareçam na sua agenda.

Configurando o BBDB

Para abrir o BBDB você pode utilizar M-x bbdb e obterá a lista de seus contatos no buffer.

Mova o cursor para um dos seus contatos, pressione i para adicionar um novo campo, digite anniversary como o nome do campo, e por último a data do aniversário do seu contato no formato AAAA-MM-DD ou MM-DD.
