It has been a long while since my last blog post. A lot of stuff has happened in my personal life, but I have a feeling that it has calmed down significantly enough for me to enjoy my life once again.
I have been reading some books lately, all programming related:
iPhone SDK Development: this is a [...]
As a pre-cursor to my promised larger articles, a post about Emacs and some of the development tweaks I did last week.
The last weeks there has been quite some chatter about development setups. Most notably Sacha Chua figured out that she could be more productive in Emacs then in Eclipse in her current project, read [...]
Since switching to github last weekend I have very pleased with it, so pleased that I also have put worklog onto it.
You can find it on the worklog page on github. I also added the documentation to the wiki.
If anyone wants to work on it, please create a github account and I will add you [...]
A while back I advertised I was running my own git repos. Today I switched color-theme-arjen to use github.
This switch will allow anyone to do development on it, to fork it or to just watch it.
Public cloning can be done by issueing the following command:
$ git clone git://github.com/credmp/color-theme-arjen.git
Enjoy!

I like playing games, from board games to computer games to logic puzzles. However, the type of puzzles that intrigue me most are the logic puzzles that really need a computer to be solved (or perhaps I am too lazy to think them through all the way and a computer is a really useful tool [...]
A very usefull ‘feature’ of some languages is the ability to store values of different types in the same variable. Although this is generally a ‘bad idea’, since it makes it impossible to check for assignment errors during compile-time.
However, there are cases where it is very usefull; for instance, lets say that you are writing [...]
Yesterday, ironically the first day of my vacation, I was reading Steve Yegge’s blogpost about code’s worst enemy.
I often find myself intruiged by Steve’s blogposts, probably one of the few blogs on the Internet actually worth reading even if he is talking about something that does not interest you. When it comes to technical writings [...]
With the release of Emacs 22 on June 2nd a new set of version control (vc for short) modes was released as well. The Emacs Tour briefly touches on it, however it fails to point out the geniusness of this feature.
As of 22.1.1 the following version control backends are supported: RCS, CVS, SVN, SCCS, Bzr, [...]
