Starting Emacs on boot

Dec 30, 2013 · 1 min read · emacs ·

I use Emacs all the time. My most important Emacs runs in my own server, which I access remotely either through a tty terminal, or a graphical session. The terminal can either be plain ssh, or mosh. The graphical session is x2go at the moment. Since I always want an Emacs running, and I want to access the same emacs …

I've bought some new work equipment for 2014. A MS Surface Pro running Fedora and an Ergodox keyboard. The idea is that I more or less never want to change the keyboard, but the computer part more often. So far I'm making progress, but I'm still not as produktive with my new setup as with my old trusty Thinkpad. The …

I don't actually watch television myself, but sometimes when I'm abroad I help out with downloading programs from svt play, the swedish television play on demand service. Not that im a media snob or anything, I'm just too busy reading Manga or Warhammer novels to have time with television. SVT play is a bit funny, …

Something I thought about on the beach but now forgot

So, I had the bestest ever thought today at the beach. How can you not have beatiful thoughts when the weather is great, the sea is salty, and the shade soothing? Now the thought is gone though, and no effort of mine brings it back. Normally I capture my thoughts in Emacs Org mode, and normally I can access my Emacs …

o-blog seems pretty nice! It's based on Emacs org-mode, and lives on github: https://github.com/renard/o-blog. Since I live in Emacs, this seems like a nice choice for my particular blog.

Fighting Adobe Digital Editions with VirtualBox, grep and a Screenshot Robot

May 18, 2010 · 2 min read · hacks ·

Share on:

The problem The library lends out ebooks, but only through Adobe Digital Editions, which does not run on Linux. The workaround is obvious: install Windows XP in VirtualBox, and install Adobe Digital Editions inside that. It works, technically. But the reader itself is dismal — no full-screen mode, no page rotation. …

Dag 1 Paketet med freerunner kommer äntligen. I paketet ligger ett poem av Lao-Tse, och en laserpenna. Jacob och hans kompisar leker terminator med lasern. Freerunner är förinstallerad och bootar direkt in i en tidig version av ASU. Det går att ringa till telefonen, och till min förvåning spelas en gammal sid-låt!. Jag …

IrDA, the World's Most Useless Technology

I have been toying with IrDA, the world's most useless technology. There are two things I would like to do: Talk to my GSM phone — currently an Ericsson R320s, though I have an Ericsson 888 as well. Sync my Palm over infrared, which would actually be rather useful. First contact My Dell claims both SIR and FIR support, …
