Emacs

Colorblind theme for Emacs

I’ve released an Emacs color theme that is easy on my colorblind eyes. It is up on github: http://github.com/zhannes/emacs-colorblind-theme. Small screenshot below, you can view the full Screenshot here. My theme is based on Oleg Shaldybin’s Railscasts color theme, a Textmate theme that he ported to Emacs. To use the colorblind theme, you need to [...]

Emacs php-mode and php-electric-mode

Following up on my “To Do for Emacs PHP” post, I added a hook to start php-electric-mode automatically when Emacs goes into PHP mode. Without a hook, I had to type (from within php-mode),  M-x php-electric-mode lots of times in lots of buffers. I also went into the Semantic customization group and turned off semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode [...]

Emacs on flash drive

I’m just starting school and we are using windows and notepad++.  Getting used to windows keys is annoying enough, but using notepad++ for coding is pretty painful.  Rather than invest time in learning yet another editor, I decided I will try to install Emacs to my portable hard drive. Eventually got regular emacs 23.1 working [...]

Sunburst theme for Aquamacs

IE Developer Toolbar

This is a reminder for myself and others YOU CAN EDIT STYLES IN IE DEV TOOLBAR.  I don’t find IE Dev Toolbar at all intuitive.  Until recently, I did not know you could edit attributes, similar to how one uses firebug.  In fact I’d given up on it being useful it all b/c in researching [...]

Changed to professionaldilettante.com

No change in content. Same youtube videos, late night rants about adult swim’s brilliance, random irreverent commentary, and nerdy programming stuff one would expect the pedantic lexiphanes I’ve become.

update: emacs lisp revisited

<!– p {padding:5px !important } p {margin:5px !important}–> Was able to successfully install emacs colors I wanted. This was for purpose of making emacs easier on the eyes. I find textmate very easy on the eyes and was trying to replicate that effect. Have not used textmate… but people seem to be obsessed with it. [...]

Emacs lisp

p {padding:none; margin:none; } I’m elated!! I finally, finally, finally got my friend’s awesome Emacs lisp (list processing) onto my thinkpad at home. This lisp is great for working in xhtml. It has built in all sorts of helpful keybindings for marking up text. For e.g., I can close a tag by hitting three keys. [...]
