I had tried to implement a debugging logging/print method myself using macros but hadn’t really achieved the level of elegance outlined in https://xenodium.com/sprinkle-me-logs/
I added a couple of programming modes to the function defined in the post above and have now incorporated it into my workflow:
((equal major-mode 'ada-mode) (cons (format "Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line (\"%s: \\([0-9]+\\)\");" word) (format "Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line (\"%s: %%s\");" word))) ((equal major-mode 'c++-mode) (cons (format "std::cout << \"%s: \\([0-9]+\\)\" << std::endl;" word) (format "std::cout << \"%s: %%s\" << std::endl;" word))) For some reason I always seem to tend to ribald statements within my code, something like poop or some other unsavoury variant, I just need to remember to tidy these up later on!
Just a quick one today!
I am finding occur extremely useful, from building an index from my emacs init file to searching through org headers to generally just having my isearch all there in a single window.
However I would rather the cursor would jump to the *Occur* buffer when invoked as it just feels a little more natural, so I added the following:
(advice-add 'isearch-occur :after '(lambda (origin &rest args) (isearch-exit) (select-window (get-buffer-window "*Occur*")) (goto-char (point-min)) ))
Sometimes I can find a blinking cursor distracting and somewhat expectant!, so currently I am favouring a solid non blinking cursor while still being able to easily locate my cursor using hl-line-mode
I have tried beacon and pulsar in the past but have found that a simple line highlight nicely serves my purpose.
This however led to a weird issue at work with my emacs setup and although I am not quite sure why it is happening (although I have my theories) I have found a workaround.
This was created from an initial brief. I tweaked my style slightly generally to be more of an illustrative look and had to focus more on a playful theme rather than the dark edge I usually employ.

After implementing my simple occur indexing in my last post :
Indexing My Emacs Init File
A suggestion was made to put this into an imenu.
I thought that was rather a good idea and it would also give me the opportunity to explore imenu
I came up with the following to add to the emacs init file :
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (setq imenu-sort-function 'imenu--sort-by-name) (setq imenu-generic-expression '( (nil "^;;[[:space:]]+-> \\(.
Well as always a little more time with emacs a little feedback and then finding more about org I have now figured out (I think) how I can better sort tags in an org file. In my previous post:
Sorting Org Tags
I made the following comment:
I had assumed that org-mode came with the built-in ability to sort tags but I couldn’t find any evidence of this
Well as it turns out there is evidence of this!
Part of a big multipart commission I completed. This was created from an initial brief. Firstly I produced some sketches to make sure I was going in the right direction with comments and modifications along the way. I tweaked my style slightly generally to be more of an illustrative look and had to focus more on a playful theme rather than the dark edge I usually employ.

I use a package called org-rainbow-tags which adds random colours to org tags to provide a consistent colour between identical tags. This helps to identify common tags throughout the file but has the side effect of emphasising the lack of my coherent tag ordering.
I would like to order the tags consistently, just for my own peace of mind! 😀
I had assumed tkhat org-mode came with the built-in ability to sort tags but I couldn’t find any evidence of this so I decided to create a method using my own function.
Emacs isn’t my only obsession, I like to create digital art and for that I use ArtRage. The interesting thing about ArtRage is that each brush stroke or editing action can be recorded in a text file or script for later playback. I use this facility for creating time-lapses.
The ArtRage manual describes the following:
Script Files
ArtRage scripts are simple Unicode UTF16 text files which can be edited using Notepad, Notepad+++, TextEdit, or any similar program
Now that there is a build for emacs on Android I thought I would try and develop an emacs workflow between my Galaxy Note 8 / Galaxy Tab S7+ and my linux laptop.
At the moment I am using Markor on my phone and this serves my needs adequately but of course I am missing that org file support.
My current process involves syncthing to push my org files around my laptop / phone and tablet.
I have been evolving my way through many differing ways of grepping recently from standard built-in greps to a few ripgrep front ends until I finally settled on deadgrep
I am currently an ivy user but as everyone seems to be talking about vertico and the associated completion stack I thought I would give it a try and therefore consult-ripgrep to see it can improve on my deadgrep setup.
I have been revisiting my old midi files from my the early days of music composing and upon seeing the release of FLStudio 21 it inspired me to look at this software again and see what I can do with my old midi, this is what I quickly remixed -> Sahara
Once a digital piece of art has been created then it is time to print it. A few tweaks are required in my image editor of choice and that is GIMP.
Import the image into GIMP and perform the following to tweak the image so the printed image is as close to the digital image as possible:
exposure : 1.3 brightness-contrast : 10 saturation : 1.24 and now to print, here are the typical setting that will work:
Often I find myself requiring the most rudimentary of methods of debugging and that is to push text to standard output from within a running executable to indicate the logical structure of a program.
This situation may come about if I can’t debug a dll or generally actually stopping a program to debug creates an “observer effect”
Sometimes the logical structure can be somewhat complex consisting of a plethora of if statements and nested for loops, e.
