As I’ve been mailing out invites I discovered a minor problem with my data. My main email client is the fantastically functional mutt. It’s terminal based but incredibly flexible. When it comes to mass sorting/searching your email it leaves GUI based clients standing. However now I’m a roving around with a Google Phone the majority [...]

Thoughts on Java
I’ve been spending the last week hacking around in Java. One of the components of the product I develop is the open source OpenNMS. As I’ve mentioned before it’s been lightly modified by myself to blend in better with our code mainly in the JSP department for it’s web interface. Last week I discovered I [...]
Finally public
After much faffing about with repeated sending of faxes to multiple numbers I finally proved I was human and accountable enough for “Edit with Emacs” to appear on the Chrome Extension Gallery. This almost immediately showed up some documentation and usage usability issues so I spent some of my spare time at the weekend creating [...]
Today’s Ubuntu Emacs PPA tip
Like many Emacs users I use the excellent Ubuntu Elisp PPA to get a more recent Emacs than the main distro repos package. However I’d been puzzled as to why emacs-snapshot hadn’t been updated in ages. The was doubly confusing as the orebokech packages on which they are based and I use on my server [...]
First elisp patch for emacs chrome
One of the nice things about putting your coding experiments up early and under a permissive license is people can submit patches. I’d been trying to get the native elisp edit server working but I’d fallen back to the working python script as I’ve been busy at work. However along comes Riccardo Murri who cleaned [...]
Update on Emacs Chrome
In my spare time I’ve been mostly bashing away at trying to implement an edit server for the Emacs Chrome extension in Emacs Lisp. It’s taking longer than I hoped mainly as it’s the first time I’ve ever tried to use the Emacs Lisp Debugger and it’s fairly alien compared to the usual functional GDB’s [...]
End to End Connectivity
We had a slight degree of excitement this evening when we got home. All the power was out and the refrigerating appliances were slowing defrosting. Due to the randomness of the breakers tripping we thought it was the boiler. As it happened it was a earth-neutral leakage that was causing the craziness. Once that was [...]
Chrome and Emacsclient
I had a number of things planned to do today, one of which was to go pick up some parcels that the local delivery service failed to do. However some workmen started digging up the road opposite my house. As the un-controlled single lane alternating between inbound and outbound traffic is right outside my drive [...]
Post Travel Slump
I got back from my Hungarian adventures at a slightly more reasonable time than Wednesday mornings departure. Never the less I find travel still zaps the energy out of me. On Friday night I managed to eat dinner before crawling upstairs and passing out. Saturday has been ably documented elsewhere and basically involved a large [...]
What’s in your Browser?
The official Chrome Extensions page is coming and soon I’ll be seriously considering making a switch to my default browser setting. While Chromium (the open source component of Chrome) is a fantastically speedy, low memory and nimble browser it’s lack of extensions if the main thing holding me back from making the fully committed switch.
