Now Ive switched to Mac and all the text editors I find pale in comparison, despite the fact that Homesite hasnt been updated in years. Help me find one that Ill like.

• Turn Emacs into an IDE

  
  What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate — Authority: 104
  I fired up NetBeans at work today, tried to open a Rails project and – inexplicably, it crashed. All is well at home, so I’m blaming work machine setup issues as-yet unknown (but I suspect, involving the letters “ATI”). It got me thinking that, as much as I like NetBeans, it is still just a memory-eating, ...

• Automating tedious wiki editing tasks with Emacs and w3m

  
  sacha chua :: enterprise 2.0 consultant, storyteller, geek — Authority: 134
  I needed to update many of the links in our wiki because a team member left, so I had to reupload all of her files to a shared service and change all the URLs to point to the new files. Unfortunately, the file service didn’t send me the former URLs of the files, so that was going to be a manual process. Our wiki had ...

• Emacs fiddling: show the menu-bar when the mouse is near the top of the frame

  
  David's Computer Stuff Journal : — Authority: 100
  My wife is having dinner with the baby at her parents, so I took a moment to do a bit of pure, pointless, fun hacking after reading a discussion of which emacs gui features to turn off on a site I frequent. I turn off the tool bar and the scroll bar to get as much screen real estate as possible, but leave the menu ...

• Linux: Minimizing Memory Usage

  
  JJinuxLand — Authority: 116
  Its still fashionable in certain Linux circles these days to pick a leaner distro in order to minimize resource utilization. Advocates of Arch Linux and Gentoo like to point out that Ubuntu is a bit heavy on RAM usage. As a Linux old timer, Im sympathetic to the yearnings for a leaner, meaner past. Even Linus ...

• Play Tetris in Emacs!

  
  Lightweight Linux — Authority: 107
  One finds every now and then something surprising in any installed Linux system. For several years I have known that with Emacs one can do just about everything one really needs to do with a computer. Well, at least if you dont want to edit video clips or compose music with it. Today I realized that it is possible ...

• Reconsidering Vim

  
  Floating Sun — Authority: 100
  NOTE: This post is not about the editor war — so please don’t try to start one either. First, some background. Lets just say that I lost my editor virginity to Vim . It was a brief, but violent introduction — the modal editing was too unfamiliar, the learning curve too steep. After dabbling with a few other ...

• Thinking about Planner/EmacsWiki versus Wordpress

  
  sacha chua :: enterprise 2.0 consultant, storyteller, geek — Authority: 134
  Was it really only less than two years ago that I shifted from my venerable Planner-based wiki/blog to my Wordpress-powered one after experimenting with syndicating my entries into Wordpress? I miss writing in wiki markup on Emacs and knowing that publishing would Just Work. I miss being able to dynamically ...

• Conkeror is a keyboard-oriented, highly-customizable, highly

  
  Linux/Unix News - motd.ambians.com — Authority: 165
  Conkeror is a Web browser with an Emacs-style look, feel and configuration. It uses Firefoxs HTML rendering engine and works with most Firefox extensions, but it provides a keyboard-driven interface and makes excellent use of screen space. Its a fitting Web browser for Netbooks with their imprecise touchpads and small ...

• Aging Netizen

  
  Down the Road — Authority: 115
  It occurred to me today that I’ve been using e-mail for almost a quarter century. That’s more than half my life. The lowly VT100 I first e-mailed at Rose-Hulman in 1985 on a VAX , using a VT100 terminal . My first e-mail was probably a request to an operator (what we now call a system administrator), but ...

• Patching flymake for Ruby development

  
  Virtuous Code — Authority: 456
  Flymake is a wonderful thing, and the Ruby/Flymake integration introduced by rails-mode is very, very handy. If you’re not familiar with it, Flymake is an Emacs minor mode that constantly checks your syntax in the background and marks up any code that has problems. It’s like inline spellcheck for your source code. ...
