Spending time with Ruby
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Emacs stuff to remember
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010I’ll just keep stuff I do here while I try to use Emacs. So this is a post in progress. Note to self: Remember, have fun. If not, forget about it. I don’t have to, it’s for fun. OK, so here’s what I did first. I downloaded Carbon Emacs and installed it. I got it from [...]
7 days of Emacs
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Geoffrey Grosenbach, producer of the PeepCode screencasts gave me some quick advice on how to get started with Emacs (here).

My new blog theme
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010I just switched themes. I had this one kind of ready in Photoshop. It’s based on Blueprint CSS with a custom column and margin width. It’s 1180 pixels wide.

Command line days
Sunday, March 14th, 2010These days have been full of my Mac Terminal. It’s been both exciting and frustrating. I had previously used the command line quite a bit, in a brief period of my life when I decided that I was only going to use free software, and therefore used Ubuntu for like 4 months in the beginning [...]
Why I won’t migrate to EE 2.0
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Well I had said that I was moving my blog to EE 2.0. But that won’t be happening anytime soon. ExpressionEngine seems to be lacking an import utility. Version 1.6 of EE used to at least have an MT (Movable Type) import utility which could be used. But for version 2 EE doesn’t even have [...]
