# List of blog series

In my [blog](../blog) I sometimes write multiple posts on the same topic,
or I write posts in multiple parts. This page contains the list of these
"blog series".

**Note:** This is *not* a full list of my blog posts divided by topic.

## The man page reading club

In these posts I walk through the [manual page](https://man.openbsd.org)
of a classic UNIX utility, highlighting the most important features.
Each post is introduced by a fictional context.

## The UNIX shell as an IDE

This series contains only one post for now, but I may add more in the future.

## Taming C++

My adventures in learning C++ as a C programmer.

* Episode 1: [motivation](../blog/2024-04-30-taming-cpp-motivation)
* Episode 2: [RAII](../blog/2024-12-26-taming-cpp-raii)

## tmux tricks

Some tips and tricks for using [tmux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmux),
the terminal multiplexer. In these posts I try to focus on one practical
aspect of this application at the time, without going too in depth into
the inner workings of tmux.

* Trick #1: [battery status indicator](../blog/2024-07-11-tmux-battery)
* Trick #2: [copy to clipboard](../blog/2026-05-17-tmux-clipboard)
* Trick #3: [open URLs without the mouse](../blog/2026-06-28-tmux-open-urls)
