+* General Emacs Tips
+
+  Tips might be the wrong word here, but the way I use Emacs has
+  resulted into looking at some things that others might not think of
+  or see.
+
+** Emacs Init File
+
+   Your Emacs init file can be any of the following:
+
+   - ~$HOME/.emacs~
+   - ~$HOME/.emacs.el~
+   - ~$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el~
+
+   I personally use ~$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el~ because that way I can
+   keep *everything* Emacs related in a single directory
+   (~$HOME/.emacs.d~).
+
+** Displaying time
+
+   I've seriously minimized the use of my window manager's task
+   bar. It only shows which tags there are, some important daemons'
+   status (running or not) and whether or not I have mail. This makes
+   it difficult to tell time when I need it. That why it's useful to
+   see what time it is in Emacs, since that is on 99.99% of the time
+   I'm behind my computer, and it's very easy:
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     (display-time-mode t)
+   #+END_SRC
+
+   That is all. When you have that in your [[Emacs Init File]], you will
+   always have the time in your modeline.
+
+** Automatically compile startup files
+
+   I know that for 99% of the things you might have in your having a
+   compiled init files won't make much of a difference, but still I
+   like having my init files compiled. This gets messy when you share
+   your init files across multiple PCs and the source files become
+   newer than the compiled ones.
+
+   To fix this I've put only a very little bit of code in my actual
+   [[Emacs Init File]]:
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     (require 'bytecomp)
+
+     (defvar startup-files
+       (directory-files "~/.emacs.d/startup/" t "^[^.].*\\.el$")
+       "A list of the files that should be loaded during startup.")
+
+     (while startup-files
+       (let ((filename (car startup-files))
+             (byte-compile-warnings nil))
+         (if (not (eq (byte-recompile-file filename nil 0) nil))
+             (load (substring filename 0 -3))))
+       (setq startup-files (cdr startup-files)))
+   #+END_SRC
+
+   It gets all the files in the ~$HOME/.emacs.d/startup/~ directory
+   that end with ~.el~. It loops through all these files and compiles
+   them, and then loads them. I use ~byte-recompile-file~ instead of
+   ~byte-recompile-directory~ because the directory one didn't work
+   quite right. It doesn't recompile anything if the source file is
+   still up to date, so it only slows down when you have a lot of new
+   files in the ~startup~ directory.  It also disables warnings so
+   that you're not bothered by them during startup.
+
+* Emacs as...
+
+  There are *many* things Emacs[fn:emacs] is useful for, not just
+  coding and writing, but certainly very much for these uses as well.
+
