A Cohesive Note-taking and Academic Workflow in Emacs

I have been using GNU Emacs for about three years now. I initially began using it after completing a semester of introductory programming classes exclusively in GNU Nano, with a series of shell scripts to compile and run C# code, and to set up a trio of terminals; one for code editing, one for compilation, and one to actually run the CLI program I was writing. I had practically created my own little system for terminal multiplexing. This might sound like hell, and in hindsight it was. I was not even aware of some of the abilities of nano to perform syntax highlighting, display line numbers, indent lines et cetera. I merely needed something quickly to write text in, and was horrified at my classmates who had to sit idly and wait for visual studio to start or restart after crashing, it did not help that visual studio was not even available in platform of my choice. In the beginning I only needed to write short programs, simple loops, input and output and the like, and so the simplicity of nano was not in any way a burden — in some ways it was even a boon due to its quick startup time and lack of clunky UI. But eventually I found it annoying having to create and resize my layout of terminals and writing long commands to get Microsoft’s Windows-centric tooling to compile on Linux became a chore. So I created little scripts to optimize my workflow. Nothing incredibly complex mind you, just little fixes here and there. When what is called “fall break” in Sweden came around I decided to ditch Nano entirely. I had friends who used Vim, but being a staunch hipster I decided I couldn’t copy them, at least not without trying the alternatives.

This post was written as an examination in the Premodern History of China, a course I took at Stockholm University, and is available as a PDF here.

The Philosophical Impacts of Nuclear Weapons

Similarly to this earlier post, this was written as an examination at the Swedish Defence University. It was written for the course Nuclear Weapons in International Security and as such is also available as a .pdf here.
