The big downside of usuing these cookies to inject my configuration into the
loading of a package is that it means that I can't load that package without my
configuration anymore. This means that when I start ‘emacs -Q’ and then call
‘package-initialize’ it'll load my configuration as well. This makes debugging
things very difficult.
After watching a YouTube video[1] on managing window layouts in Emacs I was
reminded of ‘winner-mode’ and introduced to the ‘ivy-push-view’ and
‘ivy-switch-view’ commands. As I feel like I frequently end up with setting up
and losing layouts, I think these may be useful.

In order to support my tablet which seems to have a lower maximum integer
value (I guess it’s 32-bit? I’m surprised) and can’t handle the version numbers
I was using before. It would turn them into floating point numbers, which adds a
~.0~, this made it impossible to install any package.
Any installations I have will need to reinstall all their oni packages so that
the new version number is picked up, since the new version number will be lower
than the old one.
