Today I participated in the Emacs Chat series hosted by Sacha Chua and Protesilaos as a co-host. We explored my Emacs configuration . It was a very nice opportunity to share workflows and learn new things such as Emacs’s built-in input methods which I might use to write French and Arabic without the need to switch the system’s input method. I have also learned about an interesting workflow to sync transactions from my bank account to a ledger file using ledger-cli . Although I no longer use Emacs to keep track of my expenses, it’s a workflow that I would consider integrating into GnuCash .
After having this conversation on YouTube I am thinking about taking the opportunity to share my blog posts content on YouTube to practice speaking English and at the same time share my content in other formats for people who prefer audio/video content.
