@louis Incredibly powerful. I use it to write "literate" API documentation that also acts as a sort of integration test.
Even blogged about it: https://joseph8th.github.io/posts/wow-writing-literate-api-documentation-in-emacs-org-mode/
Loving the emacs icon in your profile! ORG mode is life! Gonna go check out your https://github.com/joseph8th/resumemacs
Fellow piano player? Link any audio captures in your online presence?
I'm also a PHP alumnus, but set my inner $elephant free in 2011 to switch to saving devs from bullcrap by being their ideal agile business analyst/ product owner. Then I was a scrum master. These days I'm protecting developer sanity by being a developer relations angel. XD
@chhopsky
Did you see my pinned post about the programming book?
@chhopsky I need to do more conversion projects. They bring a lot of joy. :D
Used my physical licensed copy of #WordPerfect of course! Well, almost. I have the software but I’m keeping the original 5 1/4” floppies in their sealed bag. The F keys template and manual are getting used though! 😋⌨️📖
That time I took the #FreeDOS 23rd anniversary PDF and made it #DOS accessible by recreating it as a TXT file (with search based tags for navigation), and also a #WordPerfect 5 document that preserved the PDF layout as much as I could manage. ;) (Jim Hall helped out by providing text copy used in the PDF.)

@notroot @mikemathia Sad. Well, we became netizens fresh from decentralized BBSes and then the larger centralized dial-up communities before it turned into a mix of insulated yet service centralized like Geocities. We might know of the balance to strike and hopefully encourage others.
It's one thing to plant grass roots. But it's another to submit ALL to One Corporate Host.
@chhopsky Ugh. Geo locked and time limited licenses are the worst.
@ElliTheSunbear The flower dress is my fave. So cute!

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. So next time you hear about famous men in #science share her remarkable story.
@chhopsky Oh no!!! 😭 I hope you can find another copy!
I have a new friend coming over on Saturday for a pop-culturalization because he has never seen:
Any Star Trek.
Any Star Wars.
Any Lord of the Rings movies nor books.
No Knight Rider.
No Princess Bride.
No Monty Python Holy Grail
Nor...
...
Firefly! GASP! *screeeeeaaaaammmmmm*
I don't know how he's alive, nor how he can even think because my mind is naught but pop-culture quotes, but his blank-slate torture is coming to an end. I will save him.
What should I have him watch first?
