</header><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>
