30 September 2025 Bending Emacs - Episode 1

While most of the content I share is typically covered in blog posts, I'm trying something new.

Today, I'll share my first episode of Bending Emacs. This video focuses on how I like to apply (or batch-apply) command line utilities.

While the video focuses on applying command line utilities, here's a list of all the things I used:

  1. Org mode for the presentation itself.
  2. ffmpeg does the heavy lifting converting videos to gifs.
  3. Asked Claude for the relevant ffmpeg command via chatgpt-shell's M-x chatgpt-shell-prompt-compose.
  4. Browsed the video directory via dired mode.
  5. Previewed video thumbnails via ready-player mode.
  6. Previewed gifs via image mode's M-x image-toggle-animation.
  7. Validated the ffmpeg command via eshell.
  8. Applied a DWIM shell command via M-x dwim-shell-command.
  9. Duplicated files from dired via M-x dwim-shell-commands-duplicate.
