As part of my "denazify my life" program, I decided to rekindle my old love for emacs and get off the MS IDEs once and for all. I thought I'd be adventurous and check out DoomEmacs, which led me down a rabbit hole of compiling emacs from source for the first time. After a long evening of shaving yaks though, GLORY IS MINE! I have built the latest emacs, layed on the latest doomemacs, and gotten them to load and... you know... do stuff!

Now I can finally get back to the project I originally set off on, updating my way out of date website! Tomorrow....!

I went in and disabled that, haha, I'm here to fight EVIL!
