In this post, we discuss how to use custom bookmarks in mu4e, the Emacs mail reader, to temporarily achieve an "inbox zero" state and boost productivity. We provide elisp code that creates a bookmark to display all unread and flagged emails from the current year, without touching older emails. This can help you stay focused and avoid the stress and distraction of an overflowing inbox.

Last weekend, 200ok and Ardeo were proud to be satellite venues for the reClojure and EmacsConf conferences. As an official satellite of the GNU EmacsConf conference, we had the opportunity to host some of the most talented speakers and attendees in the Free Software community. The conferences were a celebration of the power of collaboration and open source technology, and we are grateful to have been a part of them.

reClojure is going strong in 2022. This year, we're going to have a physical venue in Switzerland. There where we can gather as a community, watch talks, hack all things Clojure, and have a good time together. Our host will be Ardeo (ardeo.ch). As a driver for innovation, Ardeo is a long-standing partner of 200ok.

Whenever Emacs feels slow, or you want to check out just how big the impact of something is RAM or CPU wise, then you can use the built-in Emacs profiler. This is a very basic introduction on how to get started with it.

Writing and reading email is inherently a text-based workflow. Yes, there's HTML mails and attachments, but at the core email is probably the place where many people write and consume the most text. To utilize the best text-processing program available makes a lot of sense.

Lean back and relax while enjoying a deep dive into the wonderful world of the Emacs editor. Emacs renaissance came with the advent of Clojure and undoubtedly is the most popular editor among Clojurians today. Of course there is a lot more you can do with Emacs, but much like playing an instrument, great skill only comes with practice.

Testing deserves and requires it’s own spot in the development plan. It is understandable to only plan ahead sparingly, because many developers dislike testing. They tend to test gently, subconsciously knowing where the code will break and avoiding the weak spots. However, with the proper training and setup, you can find your bugs now and not later.

AWS S3 has a great, but little known functionality: You can request metadata about the content of the bucket in XML. This makes it a great storage space for all kinds of batch oriented applications. No need for a self-written API.
