When you do so much of your work in one text editor the efficiency of switching between buffers becomes more important. For a long time I’ve had two bindings “C-x b” and “C-x C-b” which in days of yore I had bound to bs-show and a hacked up list-buffers that opened another window. These are [...]

Getting organised
What with becoming a parent and getting promoted I suddenly find myself needing to become a lot more organised. Although I’ve been using org-mode for a bit I need to get a lot more organised with it. Previously I had two sets of org notes. My personal set where sitting on my server which I [...]
Edit with Emacs v1.10 released
I received a bunch of feedback and patches from my last announcement but I think all the outstanding bugs are now squashed. The edit-server.el has seen some love to make it more idiomatically correct for elisp. The main change is new code to handle editable DIV tags beloved of such sites as Google+ (which you [...]
Call for testing for Edit with Emacs
I’ve been doing a bunch of house-keeping on Edit with Emacs recently in preparation for a new release. I can only apologise to those people who have submitted patches and merge requests for my tardiness. I’m afraid Real Life tm has been taking precedence. As regular readers of the non-emacs sections of my blog will [...]
org-mode and clocking in
I’ve recently started using org-mode‘s time tracking to keep track of what I spend my time doing at work. This was in response to being asked by one of my managers what I spend my time doing and basically being forced to guess. Setting up a clock page is fairly simple. It’s then just a [...]
Perils of bleeding edge
I’ve taken to running the latest emacs from a source tree install. It works well enough and additional modes I use have been liberally ${VC} fetched into my .emacs.d. However there are still a number of packages I’d like to use from Debian’s emacs version agnostic site-lisp directories. I came up with this: ;; Add [...]
completion-ignored-extensions
I’ve been using the rather spiffy Lusty Explorer for some time for my buffer and file finding. However it (I thought) had a rather annoying bug where I could never tab directly into some of the repositories I was hacking on. Eventually I figured out that the problem was down to the way I name [...]
Edit with Emacs v1.9
It’s been a while so I thought I’d push out a new version of Edit with Emacsto the interwebs. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to wrangle the edit-server.el to reliably handle keeping the current frame open for iterative editing. For now this feature is only available via the python server. Patches are of course welcome! v1.9 [...]
2010 In Memorium
2010 has been a pretty good year for us, it seems like is has packed a lot in. Professionally I’ve been doing really well. The company I work for has had yet another record breaking year which has triggered my bonus again (although I don’t find out how much until I get back). It continues [...]
Almost there
I thought I might just mention the current state of the development for Edit with Emacs. A number of useful contributions have come in but I want to be able the “incremental edit” feature in the elisp edit server. I had a go but got stuck (marvel at hack in progress). So if anyone fancies [...]
