me: okay brain, listen here you little bish, I said we writing today

my adhd: but there’s dust under your furniture and your room suddenly looks very cleanable

me: nO wE cLeAnED mY ROoM YesTERDAY

my adhd: okay well what about YouTube or tumblr, you should check those for the 82nd time today

me: no, no more distractions. IT’S WRITING TIME.

my adhd: but aren’t you hungry all of a sudden even though you just ate? maybe you should go stare at the pantry or look in the fridge for thirty minutes to look for a snack—

me: ...you have a point there

my adhd: —just to come back with nothing.

me: noW HANG ON—

my adhd: and don’t forget to check all the burners and appliances and tidy up the cabinets and counters and do the dishes and take out the trash and you might as well go reorganize the pantry while you’re in there, then maybe do some laundry since your next to the washer. and don’t forget your vitamins by the sink (forgets them anyway). oh and give the dog a bath too. and maybe even rearrange the furniture in the living room?

me: valid *whips out some pen and paper* *takes notes*

my adhd: and then make a post about your adhd instead of writing because of your adhd

me: *forgets notes* you got it, dude

update: I cleaned my room again.

Procrastivity

In a new years resolution slump? Don't stress, just get procrastive 😉

As it’s still the start of year (kinda), let’s chat about getting shi*t done. Gym resolution? Revamping your diet? Being a happier human? Staying on top of emails? All of those are worthy goals. But you know how it is: works gets in the way. Or drinks with a friend. Or getting in more sleep instead.   My favourite quote that I’d recent discover is: But this post isn’t about how to say no and…

Emacs: Stop worrying about indentation

A while back I had the following exchange with a friend:

'Hey Puerco, how do I indent the whole buffer? [in Emacs]'

'Just C-x h '

'But then my cursor is left at the beginning of the buffer'

'Just pop the mark twice'

'The mark? What is that?'

'Like the kill ring but for the mark''

'huh?'

But I digress, I am telling you this because my friend got me thinking, am I as lazy I thought? Why I am doing all this keypresses. So I got to writing:

(defun indent-buffer () "First Approach" (interactive) (set-mark 0) (end-of-buffer) (call-interactively 'indent-region))

But then, there would not be an easy way to return the cursor to where it was. After a quick googling I reached this solution which didn't move the cursor so didn't create the problem of returning it. Also it showed me that I was in the wrong frame of mind: trying to do a macro:

(defun indent-buffer () "indent whole buffer" (interactive) (delete-trailing-whitespace) (indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil) (untabify (point-min) (point-max)))

While pasting on irc, I am frequently admonished that my indentation is wrong, remembering I had a command for that I thought hmm why don't I automatically indent buffers before saving them.

(add-hook 'before-save-hook (lambda () (indent-buffer)))
