My distros

More than five years ago, I made the switch from Windows to Linux, and since then, I’ve explored four different Linux distributions. My first stop was Linux Mint, which provided a fantastic experience and served as the perfect bridge between Windows and the Linux world. I stuck with Mint for 13 months.

In Prague again

I just got back from a trip to Prague with the M5 classes from my school. As always, Prague was amazing. I can honestly say it’s one of my favorite cities, and one of the few places I don’t mind visiting over and over.

This track is from their album Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II, released in 1988.

Emacs: The Second Round

"I find myself once again in that deep, dark, endless rabbit hole of Emacsland, but something is different this time. I don’t want to leave as I did last time, at least not for now. I think I’ve seen the light of the Cathedral of Holy Emacs, and I want Emacs to be part of my writing experience from now on."
