My distros

More than five years ago, I made the switch from Windows to Linux, and since then, I’ve explored and used four different Linux distributions for at least some months. 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.

Just like last year, we took a bus that took about thirteen hours. At around 2 p.m., we had a guided tour of the Old City. Later, we had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant called Paprika, located in Holešovice. I had chicken skewers with French fries. It was pretty good.

Today, I found myself with an unexpected urge to listen to a particular song by the German power metal band Helloween1—Keeper of the Seven Keys. 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."
