May 8th 2026 - Things I Worked On

Added journal.org to org agenda

So that we can schedule things and track TODOs

(setq org-agenda-files
      '("~/org/journal.org"))

Added Weekly Roundup

I thought a better way of handling interesting finds was to to aggregate the links in a weekly post. So, I created a weekly roundup to my blogging setup.

Added template variable:

(defvar my/blog-post-weekly-roundup-template nil
  "An optional template file which will be used when creating new
Weekly Roundup posts.")

And creating roundup posts:

(defun my/blog-create-weekly-roundup-post ()
  "Create or open a blog post with the given name. This uses
`my/blog-post-weekly-roundup-template' if its a new post."
  (interactive)
  (my/blog--create-post
   (concat (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d") "_weekly-roundup.org")
   my/blog-post-weekly-roundup-template))
