A couple of days ago I wrote about using fly-make. Even though I had only used flymake with C++ code, I tend to do most of my work related coding in Java.
Curiosity (it seems I am not the only one) led me to the Emacs wiki in order to find elisp code that will allow [...]
Today I am going to share one of the more amazing pieces of elisp that I have run across… it’s not that it is remarkable code or something, it is simply that it proves to be helpfull beyond compare. It is called flymake and allows you to see the nifty things that IDE users are [...]
The GNU Project has a great graphic of a meditating gnu which I much prefer over the standard Emacs icon. So I took the PNG file and opened Icon Composer to create a new icon set.
Then I went to my trusty Emacs in Finder and right-clicked it to display the package contents and replaces the [...]
On june 4th 3rd (news:gnu.emacs.announce) RMS announced the release of Emacs 22. One of my personal favorite features is the enhanced replace-regexp. Steve Yegge wrote an amazing blog post about it.
I wrote before about configuring Emacs to ease development in Ruby and Rails. But that is just a small part of the web-developer community out there.
Most websites out there still use PHP for their daily dose of web-development. In order to get the most out of Emacs in this situations there are a couple of [...]

Great job guys/girls!
This article is not intended to insult any project or point fingers, it is my opinion and mine alone, that is my disclaimer.
Emacs is, according to its users (me included), the most powerful editor currently available. I use it to write code, blog posts, documentation and many more things. However I often miss the things [...]
After quite some time I have finally updated my color theme; color-theme-arjen. There were some small issues with it, most annoying of all that an inactive buffer had it’s buffer-id indicator in red while the rest of the mode-line was gray. Besides that the nxml-mode did not have any color highlighting at all. I [...]
After reading Steve Yegge’s blog post ‘Effective Emacs’ I tried several of his tips. I already have my Capslock changed to the CTRL key (In Mac OS X this is done by going to system preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Keyboard, press the ‘Modifier keys…’ button and change the mapping). But I have always used the [...]
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
