 * Preparation
 
-#+INCLUDE: "org/preparation.org" :minlevel 2
+  Some things have to be done to make sure that everything works as it
+  should. This includes enabling lexical binding, loading Cask and
+  keeping some comments.
+
+** Use lexical binding
+
+   For some of my functions, and general coolness, lexical binding is
+   a must. Without it, closures cannot be made for example.
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :padline no
+     ;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+   #+END_SRC
+
+   This line needs to appear at the beginning of the file to work.
+   Just to keep things looking nice I put it at the beginning of the
+   file.
+
+** Keep package.el from changing my init
+
+   Some time ago my init file was changed by Emacs. It added a single
+   line of code and some explanatory comments. Apparently I need to
+   keep this comment in my initialization file so that Emacs doesn't
+   try to add the code again. I actually use [[http://cask.readthedocs.org/en/latest/][Cask]] to manage and load
+   my packages so I don't need this.
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     ;; (package-initialize)
+   #+END_SRC
+
+** Load Cask
+
+   I use Cask to manage my installed packages and for that to work I
+   need to load Cask at the start of the initialization file. This
+   should be executed both when byte-compiling and loading at run-time
+   so that other bits and pieces can byte-compile without warnings or
+   errors.
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     (eval-and-compile
+       (require 'cask "~/projects/ext/cask/cask.el")
+       (cask-initialize))
+   #+END_SRC
