Adding image rendering to agent-shell

Maybe it'll finally make #gnuplot use stick for me :)

How I use AI agents in emacs: @xenodium.bsky.social's agent-shell + persp-mode (project workspaces) + git worktrees. I have a dashboard that lets me create/switch between workspaces and agents. Emacs is the ideal agentic coding environment as far as I'm concerned.

Does this package already exist? I'd like my #emacs buffer windows temporarily highlighted as I cycle through them. I have this roughly working, but can't help but think this already exists somewhere. #oss #opensource

Writing experience: My decade with Org While I missed Emacs Carnival's Take two, with this month's prompt being Writing Experience, I figured I may have a thing or two to share about my Org...

@xenodium about his decade of using #Emacs #Orgmode:

Great insights on his personal workflow and setup. Nice to get some ideas to improve your personal #PIM setup as well.

Thank you! Much appreciated! I now use Plain Org primarily for viewing while on the go and the occasional small edit of existing files. For any thought I want off mind, I go straight to Journelly.

All data is saved to an org file, which I can easily open in Emacs or run scripts on it to extract whatever I'm after. In this case, I looked for anything in Journelly with the #watch #film #series hashtags.

A lot of my org capturing is via Journelly, an iOS app I built. Of the org apps I built, this is the one I use the most. It hits the sweet spot between structure and ease of use (for me anyway, but users seem to think so too ;)).

All those movies/shows were primarily saved via Journelly.

Been chaotically bookmarking things to watch (reddit/imdb links, movie names, directors, etc.) to an #emacs #org file via Journelly.

I finally organized it. A little scripting and LLM help gave my first browsable catalog.

Maybe worth a write-up #film #movie #movies #tv #tvseries #shows #plaintext
