A few toys
December 27th, 2009
Should you have some more time over the holidays and want to play with a few toys, you might want to take a look at these:
They’re not exactly new, but I’ve recently noticed they existed while reading a blog post and I definitely intend to try them :-)

How bored are you anyway? i had to find a good emacs for mac after macports.org completely messed up my system and i had to remove it altogether :) – and fink had errors installing ‘emacs23-app’ grrrrr…
anyway .. for now i’m stuck with http://emacsformacosx.com/ but tried out aquamacs as well.. (aquamacs just felt awfully slow). so if you are bored find a useful mac!! the best would be one which supports the desktop mode.. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Saving-Emacs-Sessions.html .. i want to have one emacs button in my tray for every project.. and when i click on it it should load my desktop for that project with all files i had opened previously :)
hmm.. thinking again.. maybe i should simply create virtualbox instances – one for every project.. :) i would never need to close browsers, editors, terminals, etc. .. sounds like too much work though :( (and also sounds slow as hell)

irssi: nice, i’m still thinking about switching all IM over to IRC as well, using something like bitlbee. irssi would then be my client of choice.
vimperator: tried it a few times, but couldn’t get the hang of it. search as you type plus the standard firefox shortcuts seem to cover 95% of my keyboard browsing needs.
