Carsten: Does it work?
Sacha: Apparently so.
Carsten: Because one of the problems of course is, lots of stuff which I write is written in LaTeX. They have lots of command stuff which I would prefer not to count.
Sacha: Yes. You still probably need your own. I remember coming across it because I like looking at Emacs Wiki and other people's configuration. I end up accumulating all these snippets here and there. But yes, sometimes everybody needs to re-implement count-words.
Carsten: Are you using Babel to tangle your init file or not?
Sacha: I did the lazy thing. I just installed Emacs Starter Kit, so I let that do all the, “Okay, load the Sacha.el etc., etc.” and then it handles my configuration file. I think it does byte compiling as well, automatically, so I don't have to remember to do that myself.
Carsten: Do you byte-compile your init file? I don't do this.
Sacha: I don't remember. I basically leave it to Emacs Starter Kit to do that.
Carsten: To do whatever is right.
Sacha: But it does auto-tangle for me which is nice because then I don't have to remember to republish.
Carsten: Yes. That's a noise. You have to turn it on. That's important.
Sacha: Yes. I share the Org file and the generated Emacs file and all of that stuff through Dropbox, so people could easily get to it even after.. Whenever I change my config, it's up there already.
Carsten: So you have it in your public folder so people could grab it?
Sacha: Yes. I basically have a secret file where all my passwords are, but you can always include that without including everything else.
Carsten: Yes.
