+A little while back I saw
+[Sacha Chua](http://sachachua.com/blog/2012/05/where-i-am-in-terms-of-emacs/)
+mention using `org-mode` for literate programming. I'd heard of
+literate programming, but its use escaped me. Still, reading that and
+looking at what `noweb` is I started thinking that it would indeed be
+a great way of documenting code, especially something like my emacs
+init file, since that is not a serious software project and some weird
+stuff goes on in there.
+
+I still didn't really get the hang of it. It seemed like a lot of work
+to get into it and how exactly it fit together with using `org-mode`
+didn't really hit me so I pushed it aside for the moment.
+
+Today I see her
+[presenting](http://sachachua.com/blog/2012/06/literate-programming-emacs-configuration-file/)
+her new literately programmed init file with some links to other
+resources and I just had to try it too.
+
+I haven't gotten very far yet, but what I have so far I have put
+[here](http://ryuslash.org/inittest.html). It's just the generated
+HTML file, no org source, and I'm still messing around with the colors
+and stuff, but it's fun to see the result already.
+
+I don't know if I'm actually going to use it, since my init file's
+sloc count is 1038 and its total line count is 1280 lines I fear that
+adding even more documentation (= lines) would make my init file
+**very** bulky. It is still fun to see and experiment with, though.
