It's People Like You What Causes Unrest

The Power of Emacs

So here I am, typing away in my Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping (ha!) text editor, and posting to LJ. The ljupdate.el package has a few missing features -- you can't go back and select previous entries for re-editing, for example -- but it's still pretty damn clever. [info]lauredhel, apparently there's something similar for Wordpress, so if you're an adherent of the Church of the One True Editor (or willing to be converted) then it might be worth a look.

And if anyone else is looking to follow my example and post their LJs in Emacs, please play clicky-clicky here; otherwise read on )

Now that the crunch is finally off at work (we sent the new version to our major client yesterday! yay!) I plan to do other things with my Emacs. We use a version control system here (thank the gods -- it's one sign of a sane software development company, which is why it's the first place I've ever worked that has one) and I wrote a quick&dirty Emacs integration for it, but I want it to be the bee's knees. And there are other tasks I occasionally find myself leaving Emacs to do, which is anathema to any True Believer, so I need to find more add-ons.

You Know, I Was Joking

I didn't really mean it when I said I'd like an Emacs mode for editing LJs. I mean, sure Emacs is the greatest operating system ever invented, and it has some text-editing capabilities as well, but I don't want to spend all my time in it!

Oh, I don't know though...
