Whether they’re called bookmarks, favorites, or weblinks, we all accumulate a large number of them over time. At some point, it all becomes overwhelming and needs organizing. So, I wrote a Python tool for that.

Today, 10 years ago, I had my first encounter with Emacs, and that day definitely changed the way I work with computers—if not my entire life.

I am currently organizing a visit to a major festival, with over 175 bands playing over 4 days at around a dozen different venues scattered across the city. It's quite a logistical challenge. Which bands do I want to see, and do they play with enough time in between to get from Location A to Hall B?

Whoever has already looked through my projects will find that there is a project Medusa that I have set up for myself. In Emacs, there are functions that I only need very rarely, and then I often don't have the necessary command in mind. It is then quite helpful to have a hydra for this situation, and the project under which I combine all these hydras is called Medusa for me. Recently, I wanted to create a hydra for Denote, and I found that there were a few problems.

Apparently, there are a lot of Emacs purists in the world who, over the years, have learned to type such complex key sequences as C-x r t M-. C-c C-p fluently. I'm not one of them. And when I tried to figure out how to customize it for myself, the web forums were full of comments saying it wasn't a good idea.
