Moving along...
Mar. 26th, 2012 08:46 pmI managed to exceed my translation goal for the day, so I've nothing to complain about.
The TV/Internet installation went smoothly, and it's nice to have essentially unlimited connectivity again.
A few days ago, I used the "capture" feature built into the Emacs org mode to grab a phone number and again a couple of times for some other data, and was later surprised to not find those entries in the saved capture file. I wondered if, perhaps, I had inadvertently typed the command to cancel the capture operation (C-c C-k, in Emacs "notation") instead of to save what had been captured (C-c C-c), but then yesterday, out of the blue, I visited the file buffer and saw those entries.
What blew my mind was that after closing and reopening Emacs, a look at my agenda summary failed to show relevant captured items. I visited the file buffer again, and it now showed the entries to be absent.
I've worked with computers long enough for my instinctive reaction to be to take a Real Close Look at my .emacs initialization file. And naturally, I found where Emacs might look for the same buffer in one of two places, so which file got visited basically all depended on... I don't know exactly what, but it whatever it was, it varied with circumstances. Fortunately, the misconfiguration also prevented data from one buffer being written to the other buffer, so while the situation was frustrating, the bottom line is: I lucked out.
Aside from the added TV/Internet connectivity, we really haven't done much to settle in, although Galina has spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen, which apparently has been outfitted in the Early Thift Shop Reject style.
Time to get off the computer.
Cheers...
