I spent (and by “spent” I mean “wasted”) an hour and a half this morning trying to get my custom delete command mapped to the “D” key in notmuch.

My key binding still doesn’t work. I’ve given up. Next!


I just paid $25 for 24 ePub books in the Essential Knowledge book bundle. I’ll start, ironically, with “Analog” from Robert Hassan. The bundle seems like a good deal to me.


Usually I can’t afford Glenriddance, or even the cheaper version, Glencockie.
