A new year is upon us, and while I normally don't do New Year resolutions - at least not silly ones like quit smoking, start loosing weight and spend more time with the family - I do grab the opportunity to take stock of the past and make a list of things to focus on in the future. You can call it a one-year plan, if you like. :)
I am not really fond of using text-areas in my web browser for authoring blog posts. Emacs has excellent text editing capabilities, and it has Org-Mode which is perfect for authoring structured text, like blog posts.
There is a lot of functionality in Org-Mode; it can be used for taking notes, managing TODO-lists, time planning, GTD (Get Things Done) and much more. And, as with all things Emacs, I've only touched on a small part of what it offers.
In the following I'll outline the most important changes, namely the move from Windows to Linux as primary OS, from Ubuntu to Debian as Linux of choice, from Gnome to KDE as main desktop environment, from Visual Studio to KDevelop as C++ development environment, from Notepad++ to Emacs.
And, what's probably more interesting to you, I'll try to explain why the change has taken place, and what that means.
