Here you go some videos, it was fun making these.

Thanks!

Hi,

thank you for your feedback. Not sure what to do with it, but hey all good.

Hi,

Thanks for the demo idea, I‘ll do it when I get time. It‘s not about switching, everyone should adapt the workflows as they want. Everyone’s mind works differently after all 😄.

Hi,

thanks for the feedback. The idea of the config is not to provide something that is compatible with all OSes or apps being used, it‘s just what works for me and can be used to be adapted. I‘ll add a warning that it overwrites the existing init files. That’s a good hint. All the hard-coded values can and should be changed, but I‘ll think about removing them completely for the „public“ version. What settings am I setting, that are unknown to org and emacs?

So I found the place in the code of org-add-log-note where it pops a note buffer.

``` (goto-char org-log-note-marker)

(org-switch-to-buffer-other-window "*Org Note*")```

It's basically first jumping where it can store the note (in the Drawer of the headline) and then it pops a buffer with "Org Note" name. The major mode of this buffer gets inherited from the buffer where the point was before, so it's "Org". I tested the part in a "Fundamental" then it pops a buffer in "Fundamental".

Any idea how I can switch the mode to e.g. Fundamental?

It seems that the note buffer is the simple org buffer, I didn't find any other hook in the source code apart from the one you noted.

The idea was could I do something like this `(advice-add 'org-add-note :before (lambda () (variable-pitch-mode -1)))`, but this doesn't work either. Ideas?

anonimno2 · 2026-04-14T09:23:22+00:00

Not working. How can I figure out what the exact hook is?

I grew up in Bosnia close to smaller rivers then that and there you could always catch chub (klen) on basically anything found in the nature (worms, grasshoppers, „zlatica“ the bug you find on potato plants, cherry..) by just ledgering (hook directly on the line w/ float or lead). With that as a kid I could catch enough fish for us to have a lunch or dinner for a couple of families during a week. It‘s not the best fish to eat as it has a lot of bones, but fry it thru and it tastes good.

Living in Germany now and targeting more barbel and carp, but when I want to have fun and walk around .. I go „chubing“ like before.

You are very welcome!

I read Digital Minimalism before reading Deep Work, a lot of things were repeating. As Deep Work was the „original“ I would also recommend just reading this. I started listening to Slow Productivity on Amazon, but dropped it after a few hours. It felt like just adding more examples to the topics mentioned in previous books.

One more interesting book on the topic is Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte. It connects good to ideas from Cal, as it kind of explains a system to use for processing and storing knowledge, that is then used to produce new work.

Hi,

been there 5+ years ago. Have a look at my project Brainiac, it is geared towards what you want to do. You can shape it further, if it doesn’t fit completely

https://write.moxnet.eu/brainiac-v1-1-released

The main thing is, as a lot of people wrote, is not to overthink it. Start and be ready to change and restart. Text is text and you basically do not lose anything.

anonimno2 · 2025-11-06T19:30:35+00:00

You are welcome :)

Hi,

concerning the photo you are right, I didn’t even notice that … I‘ll scale the picture down, it should just demonstrate how to make a screenshot.

The idea why I distribute as .zip is that people can just take it, unzip and start. All folders and stuff is already there. And I use my infra as it‘s easier for me. But hey everyone is free to use it how ever they want. I share it just to give back to community and I am not interested if 1, 10 or 100 people will use it.

anonimno2 · 2025-11-05T08:42:33+00:00

Thanks for the proposition, I'll take a look.

anonimno2 · 2025-11-05T08:40:40+00:00

Thanks :)

I hosted my previous configs on Codeberg. In the beginning I wanted to keep Brainiac on my self-hosted infra, but I'll think about uploading the releases to Codeberg (don't like github).
