Just an ordinary person cursed with a need to use software I can adapt to myself. I wish I was: "Word? Evernote? That's how you write and take notes? Perfect! Got it. Thanks." It would make my life so much more simple. I am able to make Emacs and Org-mode work more like my brain wants to work than anything I have tried since stumbling on the Internet in the computer lab during grad school (history) in the early 90s, so I persist. Yeah, I know, stop narrating (see history above). Yesterday, I wanted to install csv-mode because I decided to move what little spreadsheet work I do for record keeping into Emacs as well. The Packages buffer loaded fine, but when I tried to install I got: "could not create connection to melpa.milkbox.net" After some Google work, it seems I should have been using melpa.org not melpa.milkbox.net, so I changed that, and still had the same problem. I rarely ever install packages since all I really do is take notes, manage tasks and write, but just two weeks ago I played around with some new themes out of boredom with the one I have been using for a year, and everything worked fine. Some more Google work led me to believe it was a TSL problem. I followed the advice here: http://xn--9dbdkw.se/diary/how_to_enable_GnuTLS_for_Emacs_24_on_Windows/index.en.html which is basically: Get GnuTSL, extract, copy DLLs to the bin directory of Emacs, restart Emacs. It worked. So, what's the problem? The problem is I don't know what I did, and I don't like that. I don't know if I really fixed anything or if I created potential future problems. The only change to my system for months has been Windows updates, and everything worked fine just two weeks ago.
