Found a couple of interesting blogposts about Emacs:
Marshall T. Vandegrift talks about his emacs ruby setup and in the Ruby on Rails fashion he added a screencast to it.
Steve Y talks about the new replace-regexp functionality
updated (18/07/2007) to incorporate some of the feedback in the comments.
Ruby on Rails is quite a hot topic nowadays and with all the major RoR people using TextMate as their editor there seems little interest in using the one true editor for these tasks.
I started playing with RoR and of course I use Emacs for [...]
On the emacs-devel list I got a pointer to Erik Arneson’s most excelent google library. It’s simple but effective; it allows you to point your browers to google and search for a selection or term directly from Emacs.
;;; google.el — Use current XEmacs selection as Google query.

I started working on a small webapp this weekend, something that might some day become public, but who knows ;). Anyways here are some notes and examples of using maven to create a webapp, (un)deploying it to a running tomcat instance and using JSTL 1.1 in it.
First, lets create the standard layout to work with [...]
So I decided to write a plugin for maven 2 to generate my prj.el files for the JDEE in Emacs. This was a horrible mistake because shortly after that decision I found out there is a *complete* lack of proper documentation for plugin writers.
I scavanged through source code for about 2 hours of various other [...]
Today I found stevey’s blogpost about the new features (most notably the increased functionality of replace-regexp) in Emacs 22.0.90. A recommended read for anyone thinking about Emacs (either using it already, or thinking about giving it a try)
Steve Yegge’s blogpost
So it finally happened. Sun has released Java as GPL-ed software. Congratulations. Hopefully this will boost linux adoption of the java bindings for various toolkits, will present us with some community based bugfixes etc.
A couple of interesting posts have arrived already Edwin Steiner puts hotspot under the microscope. Please note that he indicates the disassembler [...]
When you add a server to /etc/hosts and that server already exists you will find that the actual ip address of that target server is cached.
So say you have a server called ‘gimbo’ and it is located at ‘10.0.0.3′ but for some reason it is changed to ‘10.0.0.4′ temporarily you can add the entry to [...]
GCC comes with quite a lot of handy tools. Among many other tools it also provides code coverage and profiling tools for C and C++; ‘gcov’ is the code coverage checker.
When you want to see how much of your code is tested with your unit tests you can add the ‘-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage’ flags to [...]
So the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on creating a first version of ECode, formaly known as CodeParser. Progress is good, but a little too slow for my liking; real life tends to come in the way of fast progress
So what have I done on the tool chain I utilize for [...]
