This will be my third time attempting to adopt emacs, but this time is different.

I’d decided to move away from VS Code and back to neovim with the intent of tying it together with my Obsidian files when I realized I could just be in one app all the time with org-mode. Also more inclined to learn emacs lisp now that I have experience with lisps via Clojure.

Any suggestions on packages to look into? Thanks.

Context: senior software engineer working primarily in Typescript, React, and AWS lambdas via Serverless framework. Into improving productivity and note taking with org-mode.

I’m curious about some of the other positions and what people have taken away from volunteering at a burn.

Last year, I volunteered for Sanctuary, and I really appreciated the opportunity. It was a pleasure to hold space for folks, and I’m glad I was able to help ensure their comfort and wellbeing. NGL, I did well to have a low stimulation time away from the excitement of the rest of burn.

I’m hoping to do the same again as well as trying Perimeter and the cafeteria at Apogaea.

I just got passes for myself and a partner for this year’s Apogaea. I’m so excited. It will be my first time at this burn, and I’ve heard good things from folks I’ve met that’ve been before. Anyone else going?

Been in the north GA mountains playing board games with some of my closest friends. For the last several years we rent a cabin for at least weekend each year. It’s my last one before moving and it’s been a blast. Still have through Monday.

[Edit for games play list:]

• Seas of strife
• Nippon
• So Clover
• Knarr
• Wyrmspan
• Aqua
• Just One
• Supply Lines of the American Revolution
• Table tennis
• Zombicide
• Straw

Since the About section specifically calls out folks that call BRC as home, what are the thoughts on regional burns?

I have only been to Alchemy and will be trying to make it to Apogaea this year. The much smaller size seems more intimate and in alignment with my personal style.

Folks interested in also discussing those here, or is there another federated community that fits better?

I finally received my copies of two Splotter Spellen titles that a friend of mine was holding onto. Beest and D’raf. The original seller wasn’t shipping them outside of the EU, so my friend in Spain received them and brought them back.

Also happy that the DIY box style matches my edition is of Bus.

Once I get my preordered rerelease of Ur: 1830 BC, I’ll have every title I’d been interested in, bringing the total to 15.
