 Reading prose with long lines is a chore.  Luckily there are several packages in emacs to make the windows squeeze text into a more legible sliver.  Previously i used olivetti, which is a really nice package, but it's quite heavyweight and broke on me with no explanation more frequently than i appreciated.  I've switched to visual-fill-column and been quite satisfied.

 Jabber.el is an xmpp client in emacs.  I don't actually use xmpp as xmpp that much.  But i do use it to connect to irc, and this package lets me do that.  Unfortunately, it's not a particularly well-behaved package; by default it clobbers some keybindings and floods the echo area with unhelpful messages.

 I find it useful to see the recursive sizes of directories.  This can be a little slow, so setting it as always on might not be the best idea, but the longest i've had to wait is about a second, and that's only if i run it on my home directory, so i think it's worth it at the moment.

 Next, we want to set orderless and basic as the two completion style.  Basic matches candidates with the same text before the point, and the text after the point as a substring.  Orderless takes any number of space separated components and displays candidates that much every component in any order.  We specify basic first.  What this means in practice is that first we will try and complete exactly what i've input, and if that fails, widen the search with orderless to pick up more options.
